Great stay for our needs of visiting family in Dedham. I would have felt safer having a railing to hold onto while using the outside steps. Would stay there again as the location is great for this family.

Similar experience to other reviewers - the place was spacious, clean, and overall lovely! Slept super well there. There were minor sounds from people walking around above, but nothing that got annoying or disruptive. We were a tad disappointed that the ping pong paddles had padding that was peeling a lot - we were able to make do and play with what was there though. The property manager gave all information in a timely manner, and check-in was super easy. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. Great stay, would come back again!

Great bang for you buck. Very clean and spacious. My only note is the noise from what we presume is a treadmill, typically between 6:30 and 7 am. Not an issue unless you are sleeping in the living room or you are an early riser.
We would love to stay here again the next time we visit Boston.

Great location, great communication
10.0
The property was spacious and in a great quiet neighborhood, conveniently located within a quick drive to Boston. We only stayed one night and were comfortable. Having a ping pong table was a nice perk. The decor could use a little updating, but it's certainly nothing that interferes with the usability of the space. We were able to hear the owners upstairs moving around, but for the price, size and location, it was a small trade-off. Overall, would not hesitate to recommend. Also, communication from the owner was great.

Generally, the place met the expectations but you must expect some humidity and what's come with it. If you plan to go to Boston with the train, expect some difficulties in late night because the train station is close, this is true, but at night the trains are not so easy to catch (consult the mbta site to understand the lines and their schedule). Our comeback from Fenway Park was a pain in the *** after the game. However, yes it's really quiet (at least the moments we were there).

Great location, easy access. The home itself however needs a deep cleaning. We did not use the shower because it didn’t seem clean. Inside the sink in the bathroom around the rim was covered in mold. The house also felt very damp and had a mold smell. When I got into bed it felt as if the sheets were moist.

It’s in the basement so it’s a bit dark and humid but the host is great and helped us a lot

Wonderful place to stay. The check in and check out process was super easy, and it had all the basic amenities needed for a short stay. The filtered water was a nice touch.

This was a great location for us. It is a very spacious basement apartment. The ping pong table was a huge hit with our family and was a great way to wind down full vacation days.

This property was perfect for our family. It had plenty of room for the 3 of us. Although we didn't use them, laundry facilities are always a plus.

We stayed 1 night for a ladies overnight while attending a concert at Gillette Stadium. My friends enjoyed the ping pong table! Comfortable living area. 2 twins in one room, full bed in another bedroom. Nice shower, full size refrigerator. We enjoyed our quick stay. The hosts was very accommodating!

Nice neighborhood excellent price.
A little beat up but otherwise pleasant enough. Noteworthy that there is only portable ac in the bedrooms and not the rest if the space, also owners are on site as it is a basement apartment.

As the description says, this is a basement dwelling. It was very damp and smelled musty upon entering. It is a big space. It was clean. The decoration and general aesthetic of the place left MUCH to be desired. The bathroom looked like it was remodeled by someone with zero skills or tact: unfinished scrap wood screwed into the wall held the towel rack, a big hole in the drywall, etc. If you are looking for a basement space with a bed, toilet, shower and kitchen: this is it. Just don't expect anything more. I didn't see any mold, but I wouldn't be surprised. Area is a nice, quiet neighborhood and was easily accessible and safe.

We weren’t going to be there long bc we had a very busy weekend in Boston, really just needed a comfortable place for our family of 5 to stay that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, we had space to spread out, and was safe. This place delivered! The host was very very quick to arrive when we got there and it was really warm (they were experiencing a heat wave) and he quickly hooked up the bedroom air conditioning units which was a blessing. We had a rental car bc Boston was just one stop on a 2-week vacation through New England, so we just drove into the city and used ParkWiz app to plan parking, it was a pretty straight-shot.

Very spacious area - similar to an open apartment. Nice bathroom, kitchen area is great, and use of laundry facilities was a plus. Quiet, residential neighborhood which allows for a peaceful walk, and a park right nearby. Only negatives was the floor was dirty, meaning after I took my late night showers and walked to the bedroom, I'd have to wipe my feet with a cloth before getting into bed. Always felt damp, dehumidifier should be available and on. Overall, a good value, just trying to give constructive feedback.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was large and the area quiet with close proximity to the commuter train into the city. We had all we needed and the family enjoyed the ping pong table after a day of exploring. We would definitely stay again!

Good location
We had an enjoyable stay and the location was good for us as we were visiting friends in near by Canton. We were traveling with a 9 month old and 3 year old and the ample space was nice for them to play and spread out. At night and midday we could hear movement upstairs above us, but it didn’t wake the kids, but was noticeable at times. If you are looking for a hotel alternative this is a great option and the response time from the host was the best I have ever had during our travel experiences. The place was clean and again had a lot of space.

Lovely stay for visiting Boston
It was everything we were looking for, and had ample room. The ping pong table was a hit.
The best part was the location, two blocks from the train that took us right into the heart of the city.
Some fabric on the walls would probably make it a little quieter, but we loved it.

Great appartment!
We had a great experience here! It was very clean and functional, and we all felt very safe here. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking to stay in the Boston area! The only thing I have to say on the negative side would be that there was no blender in the kitchen like the listing said there was. But it wasn't a huge deal, we made do without it! Thanks so much for a great time!

Really great spot not too far from the highway or the many awesome local restaurants too. About 30 min outside of Boston and 50 min from Salem, MAHost was very detailed and thorough with all directions to get into the apartment, using the shower and such. It was a basement apartment but we never felt like we were undergrund.Kids enjoyed the ping-pong table, the multiple tv's, all the beds were super comfortable and clean and loved that there was a full kitchen to use as well. We look forward to staying here again,

The apartment was great!! Three of us came from out of town to visit family local to Dedham. There was plenty of space for us to work remotely during the day and visit with family at night.The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was big enough to cook meals and reheat leftovers. Living room was awesome with 4 couches. Convenient to have the washer and dryer available. I would definitely recommend !!!
