We were double booked into the property and spent hours on the phone trying to resolve the problem with VRBO. We received hotel rooms for the first night, but received no help for the following two nights. VRBO did nothing to resolve the issue after the first evening even though they said they would. Completely unacceptable! This is a VRBO problem, not necessarily the property or the owner, but I’ve spent hours on the phone trying to resolve this…no luck yet…therefore the bad review.

I cannot in good conscience recommend this host or property. I diligently searched for a property that would accomodate my family (particularly my elderly in-laws) for my daughter's graduation. After making the decision that this location would be great for it's amenities and location, I booked in July 2023 for a stay in May 2024. ON THE DAY THAT WE WERE LEAVING TO HEAD TO THE PROPERTY FOR OUR STAY, I received three emails at 7:00 a.m. informing us that our reservation had been canceled, our money refunded and that the property had been double booked. Although the host suggests the double booking was "an issue with their [VRBO] system," I STRONGLY suspect that the property was booked on multiple platforms and the higher price offered was taken. The host also said she was trying to contact local hosts to help but we never heard from her. What was to be a joyous time was tainted by the stress of trying to find substitute lodging 7 hours away, spending countless hours on the telephone with VRBO on multiple days trying to secure comparable housing and not receiving timely updates despite the fact that this was to be expedited-ALL WHILE DRIVING. Do not trust this host for important stays!

The apartment is very clean and spacious. There are 3 parking spots which is a bonus in Boston. The owner was responsive although not always in a timely manner. Our experience was great!

Super find walking distance to Cambridge. Very clean and comfortable.

Easy to get into Cambridge and Boston; pleasantly surprised that T running nearby was not too noisy. Comfortable and clean.

Worked well for us in preparation for an upcoming surgery. I can second what some other reviewers said about the noise from downstairs (other guests included multiple kids), but that quieted down at bedtime. We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us.

Nice property, close to everything. Tight parking. Would definitely recommend!

Plenty of room for my family. Only thing missing is a full length mirror and I don't remember seeing that is was on the second floor. My elderly mother struggled a little. I could have missed it though. Overall it was everything we needed.

We had a great stay! Super comfortable beds. Thank you.

Great location, modern and clean

We loved the accomodation it was big, beautifull rooms. Unfortunatly there was mouse poo on one of the beds. we let them know and they came to clean it straight away. then when we went to bed we found a pair of dirty socks in the bed... and more mouse poo jn the kitchen... we did report this but we have had no respons.

Great for our large family. We had a blast!

Quick stay , worked perfect for us

This is a second floor unit in the Somerville area of Boston. It is close to restaurants, shopping centers and the train. The area is quiet and the house is located in a cul de sac with it's own parking. The unit is perfect for families. There are four bedrooms, a spacious living room and kitchen area. Definitely consider a stay if you are visiting Harvard/ MIT or downtown Boston as it is quite close to everything. The host is very responsive which is a plus. We will definitely consider for our next trip to Boston.

Perfect spot not far from the garden, only a couple t stops. Beds were very comfy!

We were in Somerville for a family party and this location was perfect. The condo is spacious and worked perfectly for all 7 of us. Parking in the driveway was a big plus as we have found in the past that it is difficult to get on street parking. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Property was clean. Location could not be beat. The best part is that there was off-street parking which is a must in greater Boston. Only 15 minutes away from central Boston was so convenient.

Home is spacious Clean

Attention the address is Auburn ave and not Auburn street. Do not rely on the exterior appearance of the House because once inside everything is in accordance with the description on the rental site. Very spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Large bathrooms. Everything is perfect inside. Bus Subway nearby.The host responds quickly to our questions.

nice set up. convenient location, yet in a quiet neighborhood

Really nice spot for our short stay. Downstairs neighbors, T, and heating fan were a bit noisy, but it more than did the job for us. Flavia was very responsive and helpful.

Great location

Very nice clean safe place to stay. Communication was amazing! Would definitely stay there again. Thank you Flavia

Finding a place in Boston for 7 people is not easy and this place was a great find. The location was good. Relatively close (15 minute drive) to all the tourist sites and the Freedom Trail. Parking was a big plus. I somehow missed that this was an upstairs unit, so dragging suitcases up the stairs was a small challenge but once we are in and settled, everything was great. The bedrooms were large. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The apartment and neighborhood is charming. I would stay here again if I was traveling with a large group.

A perfect spot to stay in Boston. Historic area, very large rooms, well appointed and Flavia was very responsive. We had 8 adults and always had enough room.

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights, there was 8 of us total and we cannot say more wonderful things about this location and quality of our stay. We each had our own bedrooms and the common area was absolutely wonderful. We were able to get to downtown boston or anywhere we wanted to go very easily, the location was so central to where we wanted to be. Additionally, the place was SUPER clean and Flavia was SUPER responsive for any questions, recommendations or concerns we had. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!

This place is ideal to visit Boston, very close to bus stop

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay here. We cooked a lot and enjoyed a well-prepped kitchen. It's convenient to so many place. Quality home; we'd love to be back

Great find for exploring Boston. 4 nice bedrooms, beautiful kitchen. Only caution have to be able to handle a steep staircase and the t-stop is a bit of a walk but is a benefit because the house has free parking and boston parking is very expensive.

Aside from the malfunctioning smoke alarm our first night, we enjoyed our stay here. The water pressure was a bit low, but the location was great! Central and 20 minutes to most Boston sites. We enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was great. The place looked exactly as it did online. It was also in a great neighborhood.

The apartment was extremely clean, spacious and elegantly decorated. The beds were so comfortable that it was difficult to get my daughter out of it. Basically everything was provided - all soaps, shampoo, conditioner, linens, towels, dinnerware, silverware, cups, coffee, dishwasher, laundry machine, etc. We stayed there for two nights and the location was convenient to everything - Boston and Cambridge. It includes a parking spot! We totally recommend staying here. Flavia was great at communication. She always quickly responded. It was a pleasure to stay there. Thanks so much!
