Nice location and convenient for everything

We really enjoyed our stay at Christina’s house. The location is very convenient, with easy access to the Underground, and there is a large Korean supermarket just around the corner, which was very handy. The only thing to note is that the room is not ensuite; it would be even better if it had a private bathroom. Overall, we had a pleasant and comfortable stay.

From booking, arrival and advice, 5* rating and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

From arrival to departure, everything was smooth, easy and enjoyable. Instructions sent out days beforehand to access the door and parking. Room was clean, bright, fresh and ready on arrival (same with bathroom). Breakfast each morning was fantastic - a large selection of fruits, pastries, breads, teas, yogurts all accompanied by advice from the wonderful Steven about anything related to your trip. The location is excellent - right in the middle of Davis Square with access to the train, buses, dining, bars and shops.

The property is in a quiet street off the main high street. Short walk to T station, cafes, bars & shops. Hosts Christina & Stephen were so welcoming and so helpful, offering great suggestions for a first time visitor to Boston. Would definitely stay again and thoroughly recommend

Perfect location with super comfortable room and excellent value for money.

Great communication from owner Steven prior to check-in. Steven greeted us as we arrived and provided parking permit right outside the building. The close location five minutes from the nearest MIIT station meant that we didn't need the car during our stay taking the train to and from Boston (20 minutes) and Salem (1 hour). Steven took time to sit with us and provide valuable information about local area, and Boston itself, restaurants, transport ie to buy 24 hour pass for MIIT and to use water taxi to return from Charleston Navy Yard. Room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

perfect

The location of the house is excellent — it’s very close to the metro station, just two stops from Harvard! The Red Line makes it super convenient to go anywhere. There’s also a large Korean supermarket just a two-minute walk away, with everything you could possibly need. The apartment is clean and tidy, and the mattress is very comfortable. Christina, the host, is so warm and welcoming — she recommended many great places to visit! I’ll definitely stay here again the next time I come to Boston.

"Comfortable, clean, and perfectly located – highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at this charming guesthouse. The location was quiet and scenic, yet just a short walk from the main attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with all necessary amenities. Our host was very kind and attentive, offering great local tips. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! ```
