Great location - close to beach and Boston
This property has a great location and ample parking behind the house. It is on a busy street and it is pretty loud, but we knew that when we booked, so no surprises there. The bed in the larger bedroom was very comfortable. The one in the smaller room (which is located next to the road) is a bit firmer, but my son slept well there. There were plenty of blankets, which we did use and appreciate. There was coffee and some water bottles which was a really nice touch! That is really nice when you are traveling! We drove into Boston and it took less than 20 minutes. We also walked down to the beach and went to an eatery across from the beach and that walk took maybe 10 minutes. The unit has a cooler and a beach blanket if you are so inclined. The unit also has a nice washer and dryer which we used. They worked well and there was even laundry detergent and dryer sheets to use.

Really nice
The property itself was very nice. Plenty of parking, well-lit outside. It is very close to the beach. Send fun shops and restaurants. It's only a few minutes from the airport as well as Salem and other tourist attractions.

Well stocked, clean and comfortable
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and well stocked with coffee, kitchen items, even some water in the refrigerator. I’m sure many items were those left by prior guest but it was nice having these things. The host had many items available like toiletries and laundry soap. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were bigger than the pictures looked. There was a lot of road noise in the front bedroom but the white noise machine that was provided helped a lot. Still got plenty of sleep. The neighborhood did not look that safe but we walked to and from the subway even at night. Never had any problems. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful interior, large space, good value.
We were very happy with our stay for many reasons. First of all, its a good location. The most beautiful beach with huge seashells is quite literally a 4 minute walk. The owner provided beach chairs, beach blankets, beach umbrellas, everything! There is a 7-Eleven a block away if you forget anything. The assigned, large, safe parking area is a huge bonus too. Its a 15 minute drive or T into downtown Boston. Secondly, the interior is beautiful. 2 good sized bedrooms with comfy beds, a beautiful modern bathroom, stunning kitchen. The living/dining area is huge! You just cant get this feeling of space from a hotel room. Full size washer and dryer, all kinds of useful things like laundry detergent, coffee creamer, spices, condiments, hand sanitizer, etc. Tastefully decorated too. Last of all, I must say that the owners are very very responsive. Within 5 minutes of running out of paper towels, they brought me some. I liked not having to wait if i had a question too. Stay here, its great.

Great location
Property was as advertised. Great location for the subway and easy to get to. You’ll notice the road noise but it’s the price you pay for location. The host did provide sound machines for the rooms, however we didn’t require them. Overall happy with the house and communication with the host was always within 1 hour for a reply.

Very accurate to the listing, beds were comfy. Check in was a breeze a lot of easy to access parking. Far enough away from the city to feel relaxed but very easy to get in and out of Boston.

Great stay
We had a great stay. Plenty of room, modern, towels, coffee and very clean. 8-10 min walk to subway at into Boston. The listing says it is in a busy street… that is no joke. It is right at a light if 2 very very busy streets. If your are a med to light sleeper this might not be the place for you. Was nice to have washer and dryer to wash clothes before heading home. Would recommend, just know it is loud.

Great property!
Was overall an excellent house and could not have asked for a better property. The only problem that arose was the loudness of the traffic at night, but it was drowned out by the AC. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay
This apartment is great! It is very close to public transportation, so it is fine if you don’t want to rent a car. We had a car and just left it parked because transportation was so convenient. The little Mexican restaurant a tiny bit South on N Shore was absolutely delicious, so if you need quick takeout, it’s a winner! The apartment was perfect for 2 or 4 people, and both beds are comfortable. It was beautiful. We would absolutely rent again!

Great Interior, close to many places
When we 1st arrived, we were a little scared... the neighborhood does not appear to be the best, but it is an up and coming area with a lot of high dollar, high rises being built around it. We had no issues with people or the area after we got comfortable there. We were disappointed as we thought there was an outdoor patio, but it appears to be for the other tenants in the back of the house. My only recommendation to the owners is to allow access via the back door, so you don't have to go out to the street for access. We had the ability to go out the door, but couldn't lock it, so we were forced to use the front door on the main street. The location was central to Cape Cod, Boston and Salem, places we wanted to visit while in the area. It says "Beach" location, but the beach is not one as you would expect (like a Wildwood NJ or Virginia Beach setting with a boardwalk and lots of people swimming) - I did not feel comfortable walking down the street with beach items, I would recommend driving there if you go to the beach. Honestly we didn't even make it to the beach and that was the "selling" point of our rental. Upon arriving, we had to go past the house, and turn around as it was very heavy traffic. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. A lot of pluses like snacks and coffee for guests, motion lights in the back parking area. They also had quite a few brochures about the surrounding areas. My only other point is that the front bedroom was VERY LOUD as the location is just 2 doors down from a very busy traffic light. The owners provided ear plugs for use if you wanted them, however, if you left the fan on the a/c running it blocked out most of the noise while trying to sleep. Overall, I would rate this as a 4/5 stars. I would stay again if in the area, now that I know the area is not an issue! They say never judge a book by its cover, and this was one of those instances for sure! Note, we went to the Wharf for dinner (it is just around the corner) the 1st night and it was VERY GOOD!!! I highly recommend it!
