There was no elevator, but the room was clean and comfortable. The Super 8 was right across Arsenal Street from the place where we had rented a car. We had heavy suitcases so we couldn't take public transportation to Logan Airport. We called Smurfs Shuttle and they took us to Logan. It all worked out well at a modest cost compared to the big hotels near the airport. We also enjoyed walking around Watertown which is usually a peaceful suburb of Boston."

- "What a beautiful house in a very charming neighborhood! Felt so warm and comfortable. I will definitely recommend this place to friends traveling in Boston." - "I loved this cozy room. It was far enough out of downtown to be quiet but not too far to make anything inaccessible. I didn’t love the three flights of stairs but the view more than made up for it. The only drag was sharing the bathroom - the shower and toilet were together, so don’t expect easy access between 8-9 am. But I got a good schedule going that made it easier. All in all, would definitely stay again ❤️"

- "This adorable and sunny apartment was perfect for my daughters' and I on a visit to Boston. There was more than enough space for the three of us. The beds were comfortable and the AC units worked well. The little back porch is cute with a lovely view. We walked into the village and also drove to Alewife station, which made getting into Boston easy. We were comfortable and happy during our stay there! This unit might not be a great pick for people who are very tall OR who have mobility issues with stairs. It is on the 3rd floor, as stated in the listing, so it's up 2 flights of steep stairs. The ceilings are low in some places (hallway, shower). We are not tall and have no issues with stairs, so this wasn't an issue for us, but it might be for some of you. Overall we were very happy here. This place is very comfortable, relaxing, welcoming, tastefully decorated and comes with all necessary appliances including a new washer and dryer which both worked very well. There are two TVs, many places to charge devices, lots of small details that make it a great find, and plenty of storage. Highly recommended."

- "This home was amazing. The location, cleanliness, and communication from the owner all were great. Truly the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. We were able to get into Boston easily driving or on the T. And the Somerville/Medford area was great too. Highly recommend this home. " - "We visited our daughter over the 4th of July. She lives a 10 minute walk from this awesome apartment. The apartment is comfortable, spacious, and has everything you need. Courtney and Peter were great with communication, information, and feedback. Our son wanted to play basketball on their goal, and Peter took the time to find the basketball and put air in it. They have decorated the apartment beautifully. Two good sized bedrooms and a pull out couch are available for sleeping. My wife, son ,and I used the two bed rooms. When our daughter spent the night one night, she slept on the pull out. You could comfortably sleep 5 or 6 here. The hosts had a wonderful welcome basket, seltzer waters in the fridge, and many staples available. The T station for the Green Line is a 10 minute walk away. The walk is hilly, so wear good shoes! Ubers were less than a 7 minute wait every time. The airport is 15 minutes away. So, you can get into the city quickly, but the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood to get away from the hustle of the city when you are ready to relax. We are already planning our next trip, and will definitely try to book this property again."

This is your new home. The apartment is half of a totally renovated, stately, side-by-side, two-family home two blocks from Arlington Center. On a quiet dead-end street that ends at Spy Pond, experience the access and energy of Arlington Center while enjoying the warmth of a friendly neighborhood. The home is three floors, fully furnished. The third floor is semi-finished for storage or perhaps a workout space. Downstairs includes a gracious foyer with a beautiful staircase, plus a back staircase, a living room with a bay window and beautifully tiled fireplace (not working), a dining room, and a large, newer, eat-in kitchen with loads of cabinets and all the essential dishes, etc.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with a double and a single. New bath with shower. Plus an office for one person. A brand new porch serves as the entryway and a delightful place for morning coffee. The side patio has a small garden area, table, and chairs for outdoor dining. There is a large basement with laundry and lots of storage and space.
The apartment comes with parking for two cars in a driveway one house away. There is no on-street, overnight parking in Arlington. At the end of the street, a very short walk, there is a bus stop to Alewife with other bus lines two blocks to Arlington Center. Room in garage for bike storage. Or perhaps your canoe or kayak to experience Spy Pond, which is 100’ from the garage.
No pets. No smoking. Longer term rentals are an option for a lower rate.
- "We had the most pleasant stay in Arlington. Martha and her family are the most kind and friendly hosts we have ever experienced. The house was very spacious, newly renovated and beautifully decorated with plenty of space for our family of four. The girls loved playing on the dead end street, located in a very kid-friendly neighborhood. We enjoyed the summer evenings in the backyard and had good AC indoors. The funitures and beds were very comfortable. If we ever come to Boston again, this is the place to be."

Everything was as advertised - and perfect yard for our dog. Host could not have been nicer." - "Great place, cute neighborhood, responsive host. Wonderful experience." - "Spacious 2-bedroom; very convenient to bus and subway lines that take you everywhere you want to go. Unusually large backyard area with grass, garden, chairs and table. Wonderful Italian restaurant just steps away. Our host is just starting with guests, so we had fewer amenities and decoration than at some places.

- "Lovely little apartment in a quiet part of Cambridge. Had everything we needed. The dedicated office space is perfect if you need to do a little work. 20 minute scenic walk to Harvard. Janet was very welcoming. When we come back to Boston, we’ll be booking the treehouse!" - "We had a wonderful stay. The host Janet was a great host with a very clean VRBO treehouse located in a beautiful neighborhood that is close to small markets and boutiques. Our host walked with us to the local market to get some coffee and breakfast meats. The property where we stayed looked like it was right out of a Good Housekeeping picture...We're looking forward into going back...Scott and Kelly"
