Perfect for visiting Tufts and city

Comfortable place with free parking, well stocked with coffees, creamers, snacks and candy. Beds and couch were comfortable. Would be perfect with updated bathroom and kitchen. Also using “office” as an additional bedroom would allow for more guests.

Medford Stay

This home was gorgeous and easily accessible. Our host was very accommodating and responded quickly to our question. He checked in after to assure everything was good. I would stay here again and highly recommend this listing to others.

This property worked out perfectly for our family: Mom, Dad, adult son and adult daughter. Very spacious. Facilities to make great morning coffee. Comfortable beds and towels. Very bright and airy. Easy walk to Tufts and Davis Square. Next time in town, we will try to book again!

Visit to Tufts

Wonderful find! This place was perfect for me and my friend. The proximity to Tufts (walking distance) was fantastic, and the street was quiet despite being quite near Main Street, Medford. The owner was very responsive to a minor concern, and the place was well-appointed and lovely. If my daughter weren't graduating this May I would make this my go to place for gatherings near Tufts.

Spacious, tidy and convenient

The first floor apartment had a nice open floor plan with lots of room for the four of us. The kitchen was especially spacious! Every nook and cranny of the space was very clean. The walk to the Green Line at Tufts was super convenient. And the neighborhood was very quiet. Definitely recommend!

Excellent Home Base

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was better than expected - the pictures don’t do the space justice. There were four of us (two adults, 2.5 year old, and 6 month old), and we have an ability to spread out and take up space very quickly. We never felt cramped and had lots of options as we figured out the best sleeping arrangement for everyone. There was a crib and high chair which made it much easier to pack and everything in the apartment seemed clean and in good shape. The property manager was very communicative and supportive. The location was perfect with its ease of access from the highway and walkable distance to the T. We will definitely be back!

Top notch in every category - but noise from above was excessive

Everything about the place was top notch. Others have described the good stuff so I won't be redundant. It was very, very nice.The problem that we had was that we were in the below unit and the people in the above unit - well their floor was our roof. They either were teaching a dance class or had a couple of small kids with heavy shoes running back and forth above us all night long. The host contacted them the next day and they were MUCH more respectful and quiet. But then they left and the next people that showed up above us must have also had small kids - running back and forth and back and forth. We contacted the host once again and he contacted the new people above us about the floor/ceiling issue and the quiet hours, but this group didn't listen to him and our 4th night was as noisy, driving us crazy with all the "thud, thud, thud" from above as the 1st and 3rd nights. I don't know if there is any solution - this is an old home and the upstairs people's floor is the downstairs people's roof. If you get the wrong people above you, it can drive you crazy. Perhaps that should be mentioned in the listing. I would stay here again anytime - in the UPPER rooms, but I couldn't take another night of kids running back and forth in the lower rooms.Other than that, everything else was absolutely great. Maybe the thudding from above wouldn't bother other families as much as it bothered us or maybe we just got really unlucky with the people above us, but for us it wasn't fun. :(

Wonderful Home away from home!

We loved this house. Super clean and spotless. Lots of room and the perfect place to relax after a busy day in boston. I would stay here again in a heart beat. The house had everything we needed. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked (forgot shampoo, so that was a nice bonus!). Beds are comfy and clean. We appreciated the coffee in the kitchen each morning. And having AC in the bedrooms was great. Loved this place! And best of all, driveway parking! Didn't know how important that was in Boston. The whole booking and entry process was very easy. Quick responses when I had questions. Super stay!
