Becky did a great job making us feel welcome. Her dog Maggie is adorable too. She is a bit eccentric but so are we. All in all we had a great stay. We would come back again. Becky did warn us that her place was small but the photographs don't do the place justice. They are great photos, but unless you have small children, the apartment is MUCH smaller than it looks. Perfect for a couple though! The internet was problematic but hopefully that problem has been fixed.

Becky's place is such a relaxing retreat! It was honestly difficult to leave. I's like a little garden paradise! Everything you would expect to find in an apartment was there. The bed is divine... beautiful & spacious bathroom with deep bathtub, and then there are the gardens! Just beautiful.

My husband and I needed a place to stay while our new home was under construction, so we were at this apartment for 3 months. It's a really nice and safe neighborhood, great access to Boston. We went to see the apartment before signing on to rent, so we knew exactly what we were getting and got to meet Becky ahead of time. It was a little small for two people for that long, but for one person or a shorter time period it would be perfect. It was nicely furnished and had everything we needed. Becky is a lovely person, really friendly and welcoming, and always responded to our needs. She seemed to genuinely care about giving us a good experience, and she encouraged us to use the laundry, basement storage, and outdoor spaces beyond just the apartment.

Great apartment in a great location! Veronika was so helpful and responsive. We really appreciate it and will definitely come back.

Great place! The apartment is really nice and well maintain. Deffiently would stay here again.

I got a little lost and hosts were friendly and helpful with directions. Accomodations exactly as advertised.

We are two students. We all think the house is great. House-owner also help us a lot! They are great!

Quite und nice neighbarhood. Nice room. Perfect WIFI. Christabelle and Stephane tried to give us as much room as possible. Cooking and washing possible. Unfortunately we had not the weather to use the pool, but we found a perfect playground about 4 minutes drive away, what was creat for the kids. Also within 5 minutes drive shops, restaurants, etc.

Very clean, comfortable bed, host was friendly and it was in a quiet and tidy neighbourhood.

Great place and awesome people. They do provide towels and check in time is flexible when it is a weekend.

Cute little room. Check-in was easy even after I had to get my car towed for maintenance and was super late-they both were so flexible. Thanks!!

The space was clean and rather large. It's in the suburbs so make sure you have a car to get around - there's plenty of parking.

Good strategic location to visit Cambridge and Boston. Christabelle and Stephane have been great hosts. Would recommend

We had a great stay at Holden's place! The apartment is clean, spacious, and exactly as pictured. We chose not to rent a car while we were there, but had no trouble getting into Boston using the commuter rail or buses. We grabbed breakfast in Waltham every day before going into town- we highly recommend Wilson's Diner or In a Pickle! We usually returned to the house after dark, but the neighborhood is incredibly safe, so we were never worried about walking around at night. Holden was incredibly responsive and helpful while we were planning our trip. He recommended some excellent activities and quickly answered all of our questions. Also, we weren't bothered by the noise from the commuter rail. I don't think it runs during the night...or if it did, we slept through it! We would absolutely stay here again and can't recommend it highly enough. The apartment is adorable and Holden provided a lot of personal touches throughout to make our stay more comfortable.

Holden's apartment was as described, its in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood. Its situated within walking distance to all the local restaurants, pubs and supermarket in Waltham. The commuter rail is a 5/10 min walk if your looking to travel into Boston. Our stay here was very enjoyable the apartment had everything we could have wanted and is very spacious, previous comments mentioned the mattress and it really is as comfy as they say. Holden was on hand if we needed anything or had any queries. We would definitely come back to stay here again.

Very cozy room. The furniture is new in the room, which is very nice.

Great host

Served my needs well. Very easy to check in. The place was accurately advertised overall and was clean and well maintained. Good location for walking to restaurants in downtown Waltham. The train is loud but it doesn't come often. Mattress is on the soft side in case that matters.

Holden's place was perfect for me-quiet location, place to work remotely, strong wifi, very clean, comfortable bed and nice kitchen. The city bus is 3 minute walk away, the commuter train to Boston cam be reached by bus or a slow 15 min walk. Holden's communication, hospitality and listing accuracy are all great, and I would stay there again for trips to the Waltham or Boston areas.

I liked the working turntable and floor speakers with 60's and 70's albums! Quick and easy train or car drive into Boston. Holden was very accessible and gracious.

My family and I rented Holden's apartment for a week, for me to move in to college. Even though we could arrive a bit off schedule, he has given us the warmest welcome and helped us settle in - talked us through our questions, showed us the go-to places with the things I needed to buy for school - and basically eased our transition from a long, tiring flight from Turkey to our comfortable stay in his place. I do not feel the need to emphasize the comfort, beauty and convenience of the apartment - the pictures speak for themselves; however I must admit that the view of the nearby railroad (which I think was a huge plus) and the greenery around and the ergonomic and aesthetic interior of the apartment were beautiful beyond what the photos portray. What we enjoyed most in our stay was his great help when my grandma passed away. My parents had to take an emergency flight back to Turkey and I had to stay alone for the remaining few days. He proposed going out having dinners, having his company if I feel alone, helping for shopping and cooking. When it was the time for me to move in to my college room, he was kind enough to drive me and my luggages to the college, act as my family, walk through the registration process with me and helped me to move in to my room. It could never be a healthy transition to college for me, if he wasn't there for any kind of help that he could provide. His support did not only provide me to get back on track after my grandma's passing, but also helped my parents relax and know that I was in good hands - so they did not have to deal with me and my grandma's funeral arrangements at the same time. In short, it was an amazing stay and no matter how harsh of a period we went through during our stay, Holden made it extremely easy for us. Holden is the best host one could ever find!

I didn't meet Lawrence until I was checking out. Nevertheless, he communicated all the information I needed carefully and meticulously. The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable and perfect for my stay. Will stay here again if the need arises.

I stayed with Lawrence for a couple of weeks while I transitioned to the Boston area from California. He immediately opened his home and all its amenities to me--I couldn't have made this move without this space! It was very easy to navigate around Waltham, having private parking was great and so is the deli on Moody St. The home is well-decorated and has lots of fun things to look at. Great for my longer-term stay. Lawrence's home was friendly and kind--I'm so thankful!

Location was great, the room was spacious with a comfortable bed, everything was super clean, communication before check in was great. Couldn't say enough good things about this place, would definitely stay again.

This airbnb had all the amenities one could ask for- nice people, clean space, and walking distance from Waltham's Main St. (about 15-20 min. stroll). The apartment itself is very comfortable and homey, with potted plants, many creative prints, and most importantly, an obvious love for some good coffee. Lawrence and his roommate, Dave, went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed during my stay. They were communicative, friendly, and insisted I watch Stranger Things on their television the evening I stayed with them. Great hosts- would stay with these two again!

Gracious host, operating smoothly. Lawrence was really accommodating and thoughtful during my week long stay. He was flexible when my arrival time needed to be pushed back 45m. The place is consistently clean, and I was able to get work done at the desk in the room and in the living room. The bed is good and gets the job done, but the mattress can be a bit uncomfortable on the neck - I hear that Lawrence has plans to upgrade it in future. Convenient and economical option with quality follow-through, I'll return if I'm in Waltham again.

I was in town for a wedding in Weston, so Lawrence's place was a great location for me. I didn't get to meet Lawrence, but he gave me super clear directions for check in and was very communicative. The apartment was spotless, and the decorations gave it so much character. The art is really fantastically done. I'd recommend staying just to check it out!

All is good except 2 points may need to be improved further. We are not able to open the windows for air fresh and the air condition machine sounds noisy when it's running.

After a relaxing stay in a lovely Airbnb apartment in Montreal, my wife and I were subjected to the tyrannical rules of no other than Darth Vader in his Evil Empire in Waltham, Boston. There is nothing wrong with a Star Wars themed house unless you're not into that, which we weren't so it would have been nice to include some pictures of the Darth Vader in a Monet painting shower curtain. Then there's the notes. Don't open this window because I'm in the process of replacing it. Keep toilet seat down. Make sure shower curtain is extended. Clean up after yourself. Don't leave anything in the sink… Unfortunately we were in a hurry that Sunday morning and left some toiletries out on the vanity. When we came home that night, the owner had texted us that he put our items in the drawer and that we had left the shower curtain (the Darth Vader one) not extended. He asked us if we had any issues with the "house rules" and thanked us "in advance for understanding." I texted back to apologize and explain that we were in a hurry. He texted asking again if we were ok with the house rules. We keep our own house clean and pristine and did not appreciate him implying that we are slobs due to a few items left out. We are a quiet couple and just wanted a comfortable place to rest after vacationing all day. The mattress sunk into the middle and had squeaky springs. There was a vinyl waterproof cover under the faded and worn sheets which made the bed uncomfortably warm. We had to sleep with the wall a/c unit on all night but it was too loud and noisy. We told the owner and he brought us a twin sized air mattress with an oversized wool blanket to use as bedding. Needless to say, we did not appreciate the owner's passive aggressive attitude, my wife was not comfortable with the shower curtain and other decor, and we didn't get one good nights rest during our 4 nights stay.

'Perch' is the perfect place to enjoy the wonders of Lincoln and the surrounding area. From the amenities, the kitchen is well equipped for quick meals and the refrigerator has great storage. The library was extensive and kept my interest and love of books. The cozy spaces and views in addition to the spiral staircase give a unique perspective to your surroundings. The bath is well appointed, a luxurious shower and plush towels. The loft bedroom is comforting and the linens are crisp. The location is sublime and the newly paved driveway makes it an easy ride from the main road. Hiking and the outdoors are accessible by the owners home, and with a series of stone steps, with many places for reflection along the way, make for a glorious anytime adventure. Parking is plentiful and the common breezeway, grill and seating spaces make enjoying a meal or cocktail especially enjoyable over time spent with companions.

This cozy chalet is a secret gem hiding in the woods of Lincoln waiting to be discovered. We enjoyed the evening breezes, the calm serenity of the property and its lush greenery and who can forget the beautiful pond that leads to walking trails just as advertised. The bed was comfortable and plenty of blankets and pillows were provided. There is seating for two and a cute and cozy nook perfect for reading or naps. We loved the decor, the hooting owls at night, birds to wake you in the morning, all the different types of dragon flies and the screened porch all added charm to our stay. To access the property, one must go on a gravel driveway that's a bit tricky, but if my little sports car could do it so could you. Key was waiting in the door handle for us when we arrived. The bathroom is up a spiral staircase, so not the best for the infirm, but we liked it. It felt like you were showering in the treetops. It does get a little buggy at night, but a little bug spray goes a long way. All the basics are included in this rental. There was no TV at the time, but we liked it this way as the ambiance of the place is so calm and nature focused a TV would ruin the peace and quiet. Without a doubt, we will be back. Wendy is a great and easygoing host who is welcoming but who also respects your privacy. She also responds quickly to inquires. In fact, we made our reservation last minute online the night before our stay! This chalet was the perfect getaway/stay-cation we needed to relax and recharge from all the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. We hate to spill the beans on this magical place, we want to keep it all to ourselves, but this chalet is too special not to.

Wendy's place is great for a quiet retreat while still located close to commuter lines. I spent over 30 days at this location and it had all of the amenities we needed and Wendy was available for any questions at any time. She was a great host!

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed my stay here at The Perch! I have been on the road now on and off for about 6 months and have stayed at several Airbnbs, many hotels, and lots of friends couches - this has been a great find and an amazing place for my two dogs and I to set up shop for a bit. While the place might appear small at first glance, I really never found myself wanting for space. There is a very eclectic/rustic/funky vibe in the way the place is laid out and furnished which I enjoyed, a lot of effort has gone in to making this space comfortable and homey. The property the guest house is located on is really amazing, and it’s hard to believe 5 minutes downtown the street is downtown Waltham. You are surrounded by nature here with lot of different hiking options, great wildlife, and the views both day and night are amazing and relaxing. Wendy has been great too; welcoming (you dog owners know it’s not easy to find great dog friendly locations to begin with, and often when you do they’re more “dog tolerant” than “dog friendly” - not the case here, the dogs were welcomed as guests), helpful, and respectful of your space. Just a great place, I can’t recommend it enough. Thanks Wendy!!

Absolutely loved our stay! We actually stayed at the Chalet and it was so comfy and cozy we didn't want to leave. It was a very quiet and relaxing place to stay. Had a little bit of a hard time finding the place because our car navigation wasn't quite up to date but we found it on our phones. We stayed around Lincoln and Concord on our last day and really enjoyed the views! Definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed and we're already missing it! Would definitely give the place a 10/10!!! I would also suggest going in the fall as the views out the windows were spectacular.

We stayed at the Perch for four nights and enjoyed our stay. Our two cats did, as well! They especially loved the spiral stairs and sitting in front of the windows enjoying the beautiful view. Wendy and I didn't meet, but she was available via text and answered all of our questions and promptly resolved any issues we encountered. We would stay again and would love to try the Chalet next time!

The place was clean and as described. Everything worked and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, peaceful location. I recommend the Perch!!!

Absolutely loved this location. It was spacious, private, and quiet. Valerie and her family were kind and accommodating. My favorite Air B and B location yet!

Valerie and Gregg are fabulouse hosts. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever in Boston.

Valerie and Greg were wonderful hosts! We loved the privacy and quiet location after our days spent in Boston. The studio was the perfect size and had all the amenities you could need. Highly recommended!

Our stay in Newton was a delightful spot to come back to at the end of a busy day in Boston. The studio apartment was charming and was equipped with snacks and toiletries which we didn't expect but appreciated very much. Valerie was a gracious and helpful host. This was located somewhat further from areas in Boston than we had anticipated but would definitely stay here again!

This is a warm and comfortable house, there are everything I need in the daily life. Valerie is so thoughtful, she prepared milk and cereal for my breakfast. It's a real home for me. Hope see her next time.

Great experience staying with Val! Great accommodations, and she was there to greet me when I arrived even though it was later than anticipated. Clean, spacious room and she had some breakfast food and coffee set up. Very pleasant stay, would definitely recommend.

Sweet place albeit a bit small for two people. Hosts were hospitable.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at this place while visiting Boston. Everything was very tidy and a cozy atmosphere to stay in for our weekend in Boston. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful with recommending things to do in the area and also having a detailed outline of the transit system for Boston which made it easy to go back and fourth between downtown quite seamlessly. This place is located really close to the commuter rail system as described which was helpful. I would definitely recommend this to any small group or couple that is needing a well priced place to stay in Boston!

Very quite location. If using public transportation, it's a bit of a distance from Boston and BC in particular(over an hour). Clean; a very lovely place.

Nice, relaxing two room space right in the area that we wanted. Kitchen area is especially nice with the new microwave and large refrigerator.

The back garden was a nice retreat, had the weather been better I would have sat outside at night with her sweet cat Jazz. Pam was friendly and responsive. Biggest issues for me were the very small shower stall and no TV to catch AM/PM news. The location was perfect for my needs and brief stay.

Extremely pleasant place, very polite host and super organized house. Recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and cozy place.

Holden is an excellent host that is very responsive. The place is great and is pretty much exactly as described. It is very clean and well laid out with a big fridge and kitchen you can definitely take advantage of if staying for a slightly longer stay. The pictures are accurate and as described in other posts, you can here the commuter rail that passes by behind the house but really isn't that big of an issue. A great location in Waltham and definitely recommend the host/place.

Very attractive space with lots of light! We enjoyed relaxing here between college visits with our son. Three of us stayed here and there was plenty of room for the air mattress in the living area. Very comfortable sleeping.

Was exactly what we expected and better. Loved staying in this lovely, cozy, apartment. Holden was quick with responses with any questions we had and made our stay very welcoming.

An Artist's Oasis indeed! I was immediately drawn to the photos of Holden's place because of its fresh, organic, light-filled look - and truly, this one-bedroom apartment with its open floor plan was an absolute delight, yielding surprise after surprise. While I have lived in Maryland for years, I grew up in Waltham and was "home" for an extended stay for multiple family gatherings, hellos, good-byes and reunions, so this AirBnB was the perfect spot to retreat to after hectic days. The Ikea-inspired apartment is spotless, with an amazing 7 windows and 2 skylights on 3 sides. A fully equipped kitchen--with gas stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and the all-important K-Cup maker!--gave me the option of fixing breakfast there--and even inviting a sibling or two for a rare home-cooked meal. The double bed is super-comfy--and between the outside rustle of leaves, cool breezes and the occasional sweet sound of a passing train, be prepared for a great night's rest. With Holden's Netflix set-up on the large-screen TV, I enjoyed several relaxing late evenings of "bing-watching" my faves: Father Brown, the Dr Blake Mysteries, and Doc Martin. The location--a block off Main Street in a quiet neighborhood--is ultra-convenient, an easy walk to Moody Street shops and restaurants (such as In A Pickle, Margarita's), the Carter Street train station, and Waltham Common, as well as access to the Charles River Walk, Saturday Farmer's Market at School and Lexington Street--Rte 128/I-95 is a quick drive down Totten Pond Rd. Try Demo's for good, casual Greek food, and Pizzi Farms at the corner of Lake and Lincoln for the best chicken/cranberry/walnut salad wrap around. Russo's Market is just a short hop away to stock up on provisions. Holden was the perfect, friendly host, and very responsive when I had questions. Be aware that you will need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the apartment - but you will be so happy that you did. One of my best vacations home ever!

Perfect upstairs apartment, well situated to both Boston and Metro West. Easiest if you have a car. Like Holden notes, the commuter rail is nearby but it's really not bothersome at all. The bed is comfortable. Well appointed for an older Boston home. Would stay again in a second!

Holden's place is really great! It's very stylish, spacious, private and comfortable.

Holden's place is wonderful! I only had to stay for one night, but after seeing I wish that I had a reason to stay longer.

I was in Waltham this past weekend for graduation ceremonies at Brandeis University. This is the perfect place to stay for families visiting their students. The unit looks just like the pictures - wonderful light and windows. Train noise is a little loud, but they done run at night, so it didn't impact sleep. I would definitely stay here again. Holden is super responsive to any questions you may have. Book here with no hesitation!

Stayed at Sue's place for a month while I found a new apartment to live in. All utilities were included. The room has a beautiful view to the river. You can walk to a food market and Dunkin Donuts. The train station it's around 8 minutes away, you can walk there as well. Also very close to Waltham and Moody street, where you can find several nice restaurants and a movie theater. She is very respectful and helpful. I enjoyed staying here.

A beautiful view over the Charles River, really clean and comfortable !

Had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at Thomas and Jenny s cosy place. Everything was as described in the listing. This place had everything that we required for our stay. The surrounding was a lovely residential area with amenities close by. The hosts were very helpful and immediately responded to our queries.

Awesome place -- immaculate, even nicer than the photos. Plus they left us candy!

The house was amazingly clean and we were very happy with our stay. It was like being at home.

We have stayed at Thomas's house a couple of times. His communication is the best, check in is always easy, and the place is always clean. Definitely recommend - and will be staying there again!

This was perfect for our trip, especially because the place had plenty of room for our 11-month-old to roam around and we even found some toys for him to play with. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and cookware we needed and even a few essentials like oil, salt and pepper, etc. The code we were provided didn't work but they answered the phone immediately and gave us a new one. The location was great for us because we were visiting family that lived near by.

Jenny is very sweet and quick to respond. We had a few minor issues but Jenny was quick to resolve them. We arrived early on Saturdays for college tours and they were very accommodating. The neighborhood is quiet and easily accessible to the highways.. Boston is only 20 mins away. The house suited our needs perfectly.

Our host made us feel welcome by being in contact with us and giving very clear instructions about how to enter their home, where to park, and small details that made us feel as though we were going to visit a friend in the city. The space was super clean, fresh, and comfortable. Plenty of space for our entire family to enjoy a good night's sleep, having the a/c on a hot night was a blessing! If we were spending more time there, (we were in for only one night for a wedding) we would have had everything we needed to relax and watch TV, make a few meals, and eat at the dining room table. I would come back again, and enjoy poking around Waltham (looked like amazing restaurants right down the road!) and getting easily in and out of Boston and then back to the house for a wonderful get-away vacation.

Everything about the listing was how we experienced the house. We had a need to contact the host which was quickly responded to. The neighborhood was quiet and within a short walking distance to restaurants on Moody St.

Jillian and Zach were very friendly, warmhearted people. They helped me move in and gave me many useful tips for living in the area. We also had a great talk the night when we moved in. The apartment is located on a pretty good spot of the street, and Jillian and Zach have made it very comfortable. Although we were not able to share much time, I was really pleased to stay in their house.

Jillian and Zach were super helpful and welcoming and the room was so relaxing and beautiful. Had a great time.

Zach and Jillian are amazing hosts - it could just be that they are world-travelers like myself, but overall I do not see how you can have better hosts. Now, to the house and room. The home is very nice; I particularly enjoyed the second floor porch as it is perfect for the summer. The room is spacious and sun filled (weather permitting), and overall I could not have had a more pleasant experience. Thank you for welcoming me in!

Perfect host, amazing room

Jillian and Zach are wonderful. We had an amazing stay in there house and they did everything to make us feel welcome. We also enjoyed watching Netflix on the TV in our room. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for everything Jillian and Zach!

Jillian and Zach are great hosts, they are very wellcoming and worry about their guests. They went beyond my expectations. The room is all you need whether you are in vacations or business trip and you can adjust the climate at your preference. You have access to the kitchen and refrigerator in case you have food and want to cook. The location of the place is great; walking distance from public transportation, downtown Waltham, groceries and stores. Eassy access to other places like Cambridge. It was my birthday during my stay and they made me feel like at home. Thank you!

The care, openness and true interest both Zach & Jillian offered made what was a wonderful trip even better.

My stay at Jillian and Zach's place was perfect. They are very nice, well traveled, folks who have a clean, cozy, and comfortable apartment in a convenient location in Waltham. It is a very short walk to a supermarket, restaurants and bars on main street. The bedroom itself is in a private loft with a giant flat screen tv (bring your own laptop for content) and air conditioning, though it gets a breeze with the other window open. I really felt like this place could easily be my home away from home, as we quickly became fast friends through our mutual interests in music, travel and philosophy!

This was our first stay using AirBnB. Michelle was a gracious host and a pleasure to work with. She was quick to respond to our request. Since we were unable to meet in person, she kindly provided thorough instructions for operating the keypad to allow us into her home and checked in with us on e-mail to make sure that we had everything we needed. Michelle's place is very homey, clean, and located in a lovely neighborhood. The bedroom and living room are spacious. The kitchen and bathroom are small but stocked with the essentials. We especially appreciated Michelle's providing us with snacks--chocolate, fruits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fresh milk and yogurt--in the refrigerator. Thank you for being such a gracious host and making our first AirBnB stay a delightful experience! We hope to be back soon!

Michelle is really nice and the place is warm and comfortable to live.

Everything was even nicer than pictured. Spotlessly clean. Decor and space is adorable. We even had the same sheets as our own home lol. Very accommodating and considerate to our schedule needs. Communication with Michelle was prompt. I highly recommend this place. I'm thinking of coming back in the future for longer stays. Cute town! Comfortable stay :)

Michelle was friendly and accommodating. When I checked in she gave a brief tour and it became evident she was interested in ensuring my stay went well. The milk and yogurt in the fridge were a nice extra and the location worked perfectly for me.

We had a lovely stay at Michelle's apartment and highly recommend it for staying in the Boston area and environs. Michelle was a gracious host and helped us feel welcome and comfortable. The neighborhood was a great traditional setting, located only moments from downtown, making it easy for us to explore the Freedom Trail. The apartment was comfortable with a cheerful decor and coziness. We enjoyed the assortment of games Michelle provided and had a perfect night's rest. After a shower in the gorgeously tiled shower and enjoying a light breakfast, we were easily on our way to enjoy more of New England. We look forward to staying with Michelle again during our next visit to the East Coast.

Michelle's home is great! We entered our accomodations through a separate entrance that had a lock and a storm porch. The living room and bedroom are large. The kitchenette is small, but has everything that one would need to prepare even a gourmet dinner! The accommodations are great...clean, comfy, and private. Parking is on the owner's wide driveway, so it's never a problem. But, what makes the experience memorable is the host, Michelle. A more thoughtful host you'll never find. The kitchen was well stocked with staples, and Michele put additional fresh food in the full size refrigerator. I had mentioned that I was cold at the previous night's B & B so Michelle brought in 2 space heaters. During our stay, the weather turned cold, so Michelle bought new space heaters! By the way, our rooms didn't need any extra heaters! Often with room conversions or additions, people skimp on space in the bathroom. Not here. The shower is big enough for a very tall person. One final note...Michelle respects your privacy yet is available if needed.

Michelle's apartment was a perfect match for our short stay in Newton Massachusetts. It was clean comfortable and very accommodating. And Michelle put out books for us to read to the three-year-old, and snacks for us to get going in the morning. I recommend Michelle's apartment highly!

It is a quite and convenient place with a beautiful trail along Charles river nearby. The host is very nice and thoughtful, always care about what we need and how she can help.

We had a great stay with Nazli! The space was clean and perfect for what we needed. We enjoyed being able to walk to dinner, but found it really easy to get into town as well.

Nazli and Jim were the best hosts we have had yet. They are lovely people and were incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful in arranging things for our convenience. The apartment is in a very good location, whether for college visits or to see Boston but have a quieter home base. Fifteen or 20 minutes from Cambridge, downtown, or any neighborhood you might want to visit, only 10 minutes from Brandeis. Canoe rental on the Charles River is nearby. Newton has become a a destination for fine dining (Sycamore, Lumiere, Farmstead Table, or cook. for a more casual spot, Walnut Grille for superb vegetarian etc. ) and there are many simple restaurants as well. the apartment has generous sized rooms. It is simply furnished ut has everything you would need to be comfortable, including a fully equipped kitchen.

The host canceled this reservation 114 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I was in Boston to run the Boston Marathon. My family made Jim and Nazli's place our home base because it's steps from the Boston Marathon course, which made for easy viewing for my parents and then they just jumped on the subway and saw me at the finish. Their place is super clean and homey and was perfect for mom, dad, brother, and me. They also let us hang out in the backyard, which was also very comfortable on a warm day. Jim and Nazli were very welcoming and helpful.

Great hosts - great place to stay - highly recommend !!

Great location Great host - very helpful

The place and location were perfect to visit our family that lives in the area. It is right next to the park where our children were able to go out and play safely and without any issues. The apartment was exactly as described and Nazli and her husband were excellent hosts. Even though they live downstaris it was like they were never there

We enjoyed the house whenever we were around and it was really convenient and comfortable!

Mark is a fantastic host. Clear communication before and detailed instructions upon check-in. There was a slight hiccup in the original booking but Mark handled everything quickly and kept me in the loop throughout to ensure a smooth transition. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the overall cleanliness. Mark also made sure to prepare an extra bed to accommodate our group of 5. We had a great time and would highly recommend a stay here.

We chose Mark's apartment for our Family Vacation (my husband, 21 year old son, and 17 year old son, and myself). Mark's place is so wonderful! It is clean and modern and it became our home away from home. Mark thought of everything. His place is fully stocked. Our family loved the accommodations and the Washer and Dryer! His place is close to transportation in Boston. I recommend going to Riverside Station to catch the T to go right into Boston. (It's cheaper than the commuter rail). We dined at Chataeu, Jen and Lee Chinese Takeout, and NY Pie (all great). There is a beautiful park within walking distance and Shaw's Super Market was so convenient. Unfortunately my older son wound up at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Newton nearby. Mark kindly extended our stay and made it affordable for us too. We would happily rent Mark's place again and again.

I had a fantastic stay at Mark's 2 BR place. I was visiting Waltham for work, and his place offered all of the essentials I could need for a short visit to this area. TL;DR - I'd definitely stay here again when I visit again! Apartment: Extremely clean. Bed was noticeably more comfortable than other places I've stayed at in this area. There was a washer & dryer in the unit which made life that much easier. Water pressure in the bathrooms were perfect and the living room was decked out nicely with a patio and an Apple TV. Clothing iron was new - which means no rust stains on your clothes and a full size ironing board means you can quickly press business attire before meeting with a client. (Seriously - all other listings I've stayed at in Waltham have had rusty irons). Location: Located right in the heart of Waltham. It's walking distance from the north end of Moody St (the closest thing you'll get to having a "downtown" in Waltham). Moody Street is littered with shops, plazas, and restaurants which provides plenty to do if you can't make the trip into Boston. Host: Responded quickly to my last minute request for a place to stay that same night. When I checked in I had trouble finding a few items and he immediately told me where everything was even though it was close to midnight.

Very convienient for the train ride into Boston ( 20 mins) and the building is new so in top condition. Mark was an excellent host.

Everything was EXACTLY as advertised. Clean and comfortable.

Mark's apartment is a brand new furnished apartment in Waltham with all you need. It's quite convenient in shopping, restaurants, CVS and highway access. (I95 and I90) Also the high speed internet and Apple TV let us enjoy daily life. Mark is a careful and helpful person whom take care all your need during the stay. 200% satisfied with the apartment and Mark.

The apartment is great, extremely clean and spotless and with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It is much bigger than what it looks in the photos. The area is really nice and it's only a 20 minutes drive to Boston. Mark is a great host and very easy to reach. He went beyond what we asked him to make our stay more comfortable by adding an extra bed for our son. I would definitely recommend the apartment and next time in Boston area we'll stay there.
