Lovely home! Very nicely kept and clean. But the layout of MBR and 2nd bedroom is not ideal. Upstairs floors make noises when walking on them.

Mixed stay. It was a cute house, in a good location (if you have a car) that fit the 6 of us. The host was very accessible and the house decently equipped. Those are the positives. Now, the negatives. All three beds are atrociously soft with slanted mattresses, cheap polyester sheets and stains. The outdoor furniture (outdoor space was a prime reason we rented this house) was so dirty that none of us wanted to sit on it. The place had not been cleaned well before our arrival, including leftover milk being left out in the counter. There is no real coffee maker, just a Keurig. The owner's assistant never returned with a promised extension cord needed for a bedside lamp. The "adjoining" bedroom means you walk through one to get to the other. And finally, probably the most disconcerting, the owner messaged to tell us that parking should be in the driveway right as friends who parked on the street were leaving, making it ckear that she was watching (creepy), and in conflict with the sign in the house that says that street parking is acceptable.So, no, we wouldn't rent this house again, especially at the price point.

Everything was very clean when we arrived, the housekeepers passed us at the door in fact, which also helped us get into the house faster. Susan was very responsive to our questions as well. The house was comfortable and a second home for us while our home was undergoing construction. We were so lucky that we were able to find something so quickly. Only recommendation— The living room needs another form of lighting, like a lamp. The overhead light was far too bright to watch TV and was the only light in the room so we brought the desk lamp in. Totally a nonissue obviously. Thank you, Susan!

This home is beautiful and clean. The location was convenient enough (we took the commuter train into Boston). There was lots of space: not only 3 bedrooms, but also an office and a 3 season porch. We enjoyed playing lots of Pac-Man, and couldn’t leave until we made it on the top scores list. Know that to access the master bedroom, you have to go through another bedroom. I am giving it 4 stars because we had multiple things break on us. A chair leg buckled and the chair began to collapse. A light fixture fell off the ceiling. The front on the dishwasher feels like it could pull right off every time you open it. There are a few things that might need some upgrading!

We were very pleased with the location and house, super clean, cute, and room to spread out! Overall A. About the only comment is for guests to realize the main bathroom has to go through one of the secondary bedrooms to reach the hallway and upstairs bathroom (and stairs). It was not a deal-breaker for us but just wanted to point that out if it matters to others.

The Vrbo house was well stocked with anything that we may need including if we were cooking. The linens smelled wonderful I’m not sure what’s being used to wash the laundry but keep using it. I enjoyed my stay and the will be looking for this rental for future stays. The host was very responsive and helpful!

We loved the quiet neighborhood and fully equipped kitchen. With a new Trader Joe’s not far away, it was super convenient to get the refrigerator stocked and ready for meal preparation. I liked the outdoor grill and, as a family, we utilized and really enjoyed the breakfast area. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable. Television and WiFi were excellent. This was a great place for a family get together. West Roxbury is a very nice upper middle class neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised over and over again. Thanks to Susan, our pleasant and very responsive host.

Nice place. Had a nice size kitchen and 2 dinning areas. Each room had a TV and the beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows. It was chilly in Boston so we had to use the heat and the house heated up quickly. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to many places to eat (and within walking distance). The host was readily available and checked up on us ensuring all our needs were met - this was a nice added touch.

Property clean and well stocked. Plenty of hot water for the showers. Good location-easy to get into Boston. Downtown West Roxbury close by and good supermarket with lots of good selections. Parking area was easy to access. Would stay again. One suggestion is a grab bar for the jetted tub as it has high sides. Would make it more secure for stepping out and over.

This home was immaculately clean, large, and quite comfortable. The immediate neighborhood is a very nice one and we felt really safe. It's about a 20 minute walk from the main street of the town, which is quite nice and not touristy, and we had lots of good food and there's also a great grocery store. We also walked to the train into Boston, which is just a few minutes further from there. One consideration in renting this home is that all of the bedrooms are up steep stairs, so it may not work well for families with younger children or for older people (which we just about are!)
