This is a great little apartment to stay in Marblehead. First floor, lovely bathroom with tub, renovated kitchen. Comfortable and quiet, walkable to many nice spots. Matt was always responsive to questions. Only thing that was a little unclear was that the parking spot was not actually in the driveway but about a block away. Not a big deal normally but coming with an infant it would have been helpful to know ahead of time. ##### Rachel B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Toby R.
