We recently stayed at this property for a spring break trip to Boston. Although I would recommend going to Boston when it is a bit warmer and the duck boat tours are running, this house provided a great place for our family to hang out when we needed to warm up from the chilly air. Many restaurants were within walking distance, and it wasn’t far from the nearest MBTA stop. We loved the 3rd floor master suite (FYI the stairs to the 3rd floor are pretty steep), which has a small sitting room that was perfect to entertain the little kids before the rest of the house woke up. With the kids and grandparents with us, it was nice to have a big dining table for us all to eat takeout from one of the local restaurants, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We road-tripped to Boston, so it was great to have a dedicated parking spot. The host was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in this piece of Boston history and hope to come back someday!

This property is exactly as pictured. Its roomy, comfortable and equipped with everything. It was perfect for our stay.

We had a wonderful stay in Boston for Thanksgiving. Very large, spacious home. Great ambiance with a well-appointed kitchen and dining room. Excellent location, easy access to T station and off-street parking.

This house was perfect. I stayed here with friends & colleagues for a conference at Harvard, and it was everything we needed and more! The home had a warm eclectic vibe with a fully stocked kitchen and enough space that 7 of us were not living on top of each other. It was walking distance to everything we wanted to see, from Harvard yard to the North End, and close to the train station we used to visit Salem. Lynne, the host was a great communicator and very kind even when we had to wake her up late at night (after having had a few drinks) when one person in our party accidentally locked us out. Her cats who hang outside the house were very friendly too! Would absolutely love to stay here again. Highly recommend.

The house is a gorgeous old house that is beautifully maintained and appointed. Two great indoor sitting rooms with beautiful outdoor space as well.

This place was PERFECT. Close to everything with lots of charm and ambiance for hanging out! The house is well supplied with lots of extras.

This lovely home was perfect for 6 adults and 1 child and you will find it spotless and comfortable. The location felt very safe and was extremely walkable for anything you may need. Nice big kitchen with windows overlooking the deck and garden. The parking easily fit both of our cars. Lynne was very easy to contact when needed but was respectful of our family’s privacy. In all, a five star experience.

Very convenient location in East Cambridge. Walking distance to Kendall/MIT T line. Green oasis in the city. Lovely decorated home. Spacious kitchen with great kitchen counter. Greeted by friendly black cat. Enjoyed our stay & visit to Boston.

This property is absolutely beautiful! Every detail was thought of for the guests to this amazing home and side yard patio, not to forget the rooftop seating area. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen with everything we needed to cook our dinners. The location was convenient to quick place’s we could walk to get breakfast and bring it back to the house. The house is very comfortable! You can’t go wrong with staying at this property.

Checked all the boxes

Everything about our visit was terrific, My seven year old and five year old grandchildren from Portland Oregon( and thei parents) got to meet their three month old Boston cousin for the first time. The location was perfect for visits to wonderful children’s experiences in Boston. And my Boston granddaughter and her parents came every night for supper around a very well equipped kitchen and a large dining room table. So grateful to our host Lynn. Lynn. She was helpful and easy to connect with.

Wonderful property and great host.

The house is beautiful and clean, perfect for our family trip to Boston. The location made it easy to get around. The shady neighborhood is lovely and the garden around the house adds to it's charm. We really enjoyed our stay!

House was absolutely excellent and everything we needed for a stay in Cambridge to celebrate our daughter's wedding. Comfortably fit our family of 6 adults for 4 nights... 3rd floor (with roof deck) turned out to be perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready on the wedding day... kitchen island was large enough for everyone to gather... patio and gardens were very relaxing... having a driveway to park in was super convenient... location could not have been better: quiet residential street, but nearby were restaurants, coffee shop, grocery store, church, wedding venue. Lynne was very responsive, accommodating and also just a really nice person.

Great house, great location. Would definitely stay here again if coming to Boston.

We had a great time in Cambridge for our son's graduation, made even better by having such an awesome place to call home for our visit. The house is even better than in the pictures... spacious, tastefully decorated, comfortable, well equipped, conveniently located, and very easy hosts to work with from start to finish. Awesome.

Our family spent Christmas 2020 apart due to Covid. We planned this trip for over a year to accommodate everyone's schedule and enjoy a family get together to make up for it. Lynne has a wonderful home that is truly a labor of love. It was a perfect place for a family of six to relax and sightsee everything the Boston area has to offer.

This 1854 Greek Revival made for a fantastic experience. It was exactly as advertised and immaculate. I traveled from CA with my wife and two adult family members for our son’s graduation. We stayed four nights. We arrived late the first night but all the instructions were simple to follow and we settled in no problems. We were all very excited upon walking in and seeing how beautiful this place was. The two bedrooms on the second floor were very good size and the entire 3rd floor is like a hotel suite with large bedroom, separate living space with couch, chairs, table and desk and a very nice bathroom with large shower. The shared bathroom on the second floor was also very large. The bathroom on the main floor is a little tight with a tub only. (We did not use the tub) Everything in the kitchen is modern and the only thing you need to bring is food and beverage. There is a wet bar in the kitchen that has an under sink water filter so no need for bottled water. There is a very cute roof top balcony off the third floor suite and a good size deck outside the kitchen door. The suite upstairs has air conditioning. The rest of the house does not but manages to stay cool. We had two days of 86-93 degree weather and we were never uncomfortable. Lynne, the owner lives in the apartment to the rear of the house and is very kind. She is there when you need something but not when you don’t. The house was so perfect and well stocked with clean towels and all kitchen essentials that you really shouldn’t need to reach out for anything. There’s also a washer/dryer. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and even took a late night walk. Things you should know: There is a high rise apartment building going up a couple blocks over so you will hear construction noise starting around 7-7:30 am, but it really wasn’t an annoying level. The other thing is the steps. To get to the 3rd floor suite, the steps are very steep and narrow with a turn midway up. It wasn’t easy getting my large suitcase up there but it was possible. I’m 58 and healthy but if you have trouble with stairs in general or are a very large person, the 3rd floor is probably not going to work for you. That suite is definitely worth the climb though. It takes under 15 minutes to drive into the center of Boston…we were there on a busy weekend and the Uber rides into town for five of us was anywhere from $35-40. Uber xl from the airport to the house $46. Overall this place is a 10.

5 of us stayed at Lynne’s Cambridge property for marathon weekend. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. A comfortable space with beautiful decor. Plenty of space with a well kitted out kitchen. A short 2 mile walk to Boston Common. Would highly recommend staying here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this VRBO. We traveled with a multi-age family (grandparent, adults and teens) and there was so much space for us to not only be all together but also space to get away when you need peace and quiet. In addition to the modern kitchen and bathrooms there were nice touches with extras. We didn't use the umbrellas, bathrobes, hairdryer and games it is safe to say this VRBO is stocked. Many of us also mentioned how much we enjoyed the eclectic art and rugs though out the house. I wish our trip would have been just a month later so we could see the garden really come to life and truly enjoy the 2 patios. Lastly, the real win was how conveniently located we were to everything we wanted to do but how quiet the neighborhood was.

Comfortable, clean, stylish home in Cambridge. Close to restaurants, shopping and subway.

Good location, walkable to Boston, restaurants. Cosy, nicely holiday-decorated house with many rooms and lots of space. Well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Host instructions were great. Enjoyed our stay-would love to come back.

This house was very nice. It has plenty of room for our family of 4. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Bathrooms had great shower pressure and not cramped. Kitchen was very usable and there was a large dining table that we used frequently. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Lynne was a wonderful host and helped us with all of our needs. Highly recommend, would stay here again.
