This was a great little house for my adult daughter, our 8 month old grandbaby and my husband and me. We were visiting for a family party so we already know the area, but for anyone that doesn't, the owner provides lots of information, maps etc to get around. The house was a bit of a challenge to find on a dark rainy night as we didn't get there till 10 but it all worked and we made it. Everything from her nicely stocked fridge with, wine and eggs, juice and croissants to comfortable beds in a quiet neighborhood made this a perfect spot for us. She even had fresh chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. We really appreciated having the kitchen supplied with our first morning breakfast, especially with our late evening arrival. The owner was very accommodating and great to work with. Hopefully our little grand daughter didn't keep everyone up too much. She is usually a good sleeper but being in a strange place and not in her crib definitely affected her sleep. The pack n play was very handy and we were grateful we didn't have to bring one with us. My only suggestion if you do keep taking families with young children would be a high chair would have been the icing on the cake. But we were not expecting one, so we were fine. Just a thought for the future. Just one thing should be checked. We were having a tough time with the key. I could get it in but had a hard time getting it back out of the lock once we locked or unlocked the door. Just thought you might want to get that checked. Otherwise it was perfect and I highly recommend it if you are traveling to the Boston/Cambridge area.
