nice
I feel like the description of the location was somewhat misleading. The street and neighborhood was not so central, but nice. It is a nice house, although kitchen and upstairs bathroom floors could use some cleaning. Stairway carpets smell a little, perhaps there are pets there. All in all it was a good family moment and the host was super nice. However, VRBO overcharged us.

Great for Entire Family in town for Graduation!
This property was large, comfortable, and charming enough to house my husband, son, mother, mother-in-law, and myself while we were in town to attend our daughter's extensive graduation activities. The neighborhood was quiet. The house is very well stocked with kitchen items, linens, and laundry items. The property owner is attentive, responsive, and gives great advice. What you see in the pictures is very accurate. If anyone in your family has an issue with stairs, you might want to give some consideration to the fact that one flight of stairs is required to access the master bedroom and a second flight of stairs is required to access the remaining bedrooms. Also, consider that at least one pull-out bed is available in the 1st floor living room area. You will see a lot of comments about limited parking. I will only say that this was a very small issue for us, given all the other benefits. We discussed ideas with the property owner and we were able to manage two cars. My entire family was quite pleased with this property. 5 Stars all the way.

Reunion
To celebrate our 60th birthdays and reunite after 35 years, 7 college roommates gathered to rekindle our friendship. The “best” part of the house, for us, was the large dining room/table where we spent hours over coffee and later champagne! The rain storm kept us inside which turned out to be cozy and warm and full of fun but the deck and garden seating would be wonderful in warm sunny weather! When we did venture out, we could walk to or Uber close by. Parking was not an issue thanks to a close parking garage and local business closed on weekends. We had everything we needed from comfy beds to thirsty towels and enjoyed the tasteful decor that was so welcoming. Kate was available by text for the few questions we did have and checked in by phone before our arrival to ensure we had what we needed.

The home was exactly as described and perfectly located for a family to enjoy exploring the city. Parking though was very difficult during the week and I would suggest leaving your car at home.

Great property with great low-key location
Relatively secluded property, quiet (narrow!) street, short walk to the T and also shops, grocery store. Basketball court (outdoor) nearby! Kathryn was attentive as needed, though we admittedly were without a means of getting into the property for awhile when we arrived --- in hindsight, not a big deal but stressful at the time. Three floors, so if you're not good going up/down stairs, you might look for another place. Thanks for the hospitality, Kathryn!

This location is excellent! Owner was very responsive when things were not as described in listing. Overall would stay again due to owners response to issues. The home was beautiful, location was incredible only issue was cleaning staff and landscapers did not do what they were expected too.

FALL GET AWAY IN COLONIAL CHARLESTOWN
Everything was great. Your home worked perfectly for the group of 6 we had staying there. Beautifully furnished and kitchen well appointed. We alternated Ubering and walking back and forth to and from the North End. We were pleasantly surprised at how close it was.. I had been to Boston many times (my daughter went to school there), but had never spent any time in Charlestown. What a charming neighborhood. Clean. Safe. Friendly. Picturesque. We frequented the Warren Tavern and Monument. Best of all, we dodged the predicted rain and had perfect sunny fall New England weather. Overall a great experience. Thank you for sharing your home.

Charming house in Charlestown
The house is really amazing. It is warm and comfortable with all of the modern touches yet it feels old and connected with the history of Boston. The neighborhood is charming and it's an easy walk to a grocery store. We were there over the weekend, so we could park, but if you are staying during the week, be aware that all the parking around is restricted to residents. We wish we'd been able to stay longer.

Great property for good walkers.
We celebrated an important birthday. One of three children (Daughter/son-in-law) reside in Boston. My husband and I live in coastal S.C.; one son/sister-in-law from L.A.; another son from Philadelphia. We opted to gather in Boston. The property was clean; decently furnished; good appliances; and, a valuable outdoor space. But, the location is not close (walking distance) to any Boston attractions. Lastly, the thermostats were not controllable. Five rather intelligent people were unable to decipher the a/c controls. Painfully cold. Unnecessary waste of energy. It bothered us that we could not operate the a/c for three nights/four days.
