The flat was excellent and well placed for access into Boston and beyond. The Orange Line Transit station was 5 minutes walk from the flat and this line runs through North Station where you can take the Commuter Rail system to Manchester-by-the-sea or Concord.
Within a 2 minute walk there are supermarkets and fast food outlets too.
If looking at this flat as a place to visit Boston and the surrounding area, I would recommend you consider it.
Our stay at the Piano apartment was pretty great. The hosts were very responsive to any issues that came up and friendly, too. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Very close to numerous restaurants and stores for any shopping needs.There were enough linens, the heating worked well, the oarking space was wide and the handrails in the stairs were helpful. The internet stregth was great and we were very comfortable staying there for numerous weeks.
We wanted to take our girls to Salem around Halloween but didn’t want to stay in the hustle and bustle of Salem. This was the perfect spot for our family. It had everything we needed for our weekend getaway.
Very clean apartment. Really convenient for our Billie Eilish concert at TD Garden and quick trip from/to the airport. Owners were very helpful and accommodating to let us drop off our luggage early. Our granddaughter is a musician and was over the moon about the baby grand piano!
We came to Boston for our son appointments in downtown. This was a perfect fit between price, and the ability to get downtown pretty quickly for appointments.
We all had a great time. Place was clean, well stocked and close to shopping and highways. check in process was easy. The only minor issue was that the mattress was very noisy and springy.
Exactly as described! A lovely spot close to tons of amenities and the train station
The property was lovely! A beautiful combination of new and old, the overall feel was very comfortable and welcoming. Couple little things that could be take into consideration for minor improvements/additions:
- bed in the master bedroom creaks and squeaks loudly (each time my husband rolled over through the night, the noise would wake me up) A piece of plywood over top of the slats would easily solve the problem. However, the sheets were beautiful and soft, and the mattress was very comfortable!
- there was only one dish towel, but no dish cloths. We had one roll of paper towel but couldn’t find more if we would have run out.
- the welcome binder I think needs a few updates, but still had very helpful information in it.
- the house has 2 units, and the back door of our unit exits to the shared laundry room. The door handle on this door is one like you would find on a bathroom - like you could open it from the outside with a flat headed object, and therefore it would be easy for someone to come in unannounced. We pushed the small kitchen table over against it for some extra security, as it butted against the fridge when we did so.
The location is fabulous… many amenities less than a 5 min walk away, including a pharmacy, 2 grocery stores, pet store, coffee shops, restaurants, a gym, and more! We were also about a 10 min walk from the train station that took us right into Boston in about 15 mins.
Overall, we would definitely stay here again!
Kitchen cooking and utensils need updating
AC was great
Towels and sheets were fine
Washer and dryer were fine
Three issues: maintenance workers just walked in the house while we were there,
Parking was confusing and the $15/day should have been included
Checking was way too confusing
Place was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. Location wise also very centrally located and easy to get to whatever we needed.
We found out closer to check in that parking on site was available for a daily fee. Would have appreciated knowing this at the time of booking.
Property was nice and ranks a 5 on all of the factors listed above. That said, the property lacked a few things that would have made it a 5 overall. Would prefer to give a 4.5 in general. Feedback is that it was difficult to find the parking behind the house even with the aides provided, especially in the dark. It might have helped to have a video showing how to get to the parking. Also, the beds were very squeaky and uncomfortable. Perhaps a foam mattress topper or new mattresses would help. Finally, there were some stains on the ceiling that appeared to be from a previous leak. It would be nice to have those repaired and painted. But, even with these points of feedback, would stay with this property owner again.
Very nice 2 bedroom mid level accommodations in Medford with easy walking distance to Fellsway shopping center and very close to Boston. Clean place with easy access and very responsive communications with Leonardo and Maria.

Decent location, could improve amenities
The location of the house was convenient to sights around Boston. The inside was in good shape and the wood floors and brick wall are nice touches. The kitchen was lacking in supplies and there were very few towels for a family of 4. Suggest restocking the kitchen with basics such as baking sheets, sponges for cleaning dishes, and kitchen towels and providing additional bath towels.
Large 2 bedroom with full living room and kitchen offers a better value than most hotels downtown. Convinient location by the T and highways. More authentic experience of the city staying in this house then a corporate hotel. Highly recommended.
This was a great place for my friends and I to stay during our trip to Boston. We enjoyed our stay.

Be Careful
House is charming and quaint. Be careful- there is a ring camera, no notice of it and the owner is watching. There is no notification of it on the listing and I did not consent to being monitored (invasion of privacy). Another patron commented on one of the couches being outdated with the faux leather coming off of it - it is true. The owner made contact via text message and VRBO inbox with broken English. The house is close to anything and everything but is an older home. Read about parking because it is not available without a separate price (should be included). The owner will try to make a comment because he has on all other less than stellar reviews.
Conveniently located near Wellington Station and a shopping center. This was a perfect “home base” for beginning and ending busy days touring the city or visiting with friends. The hosts were very responsive to addressing a (very minor) issue after we checked in. Never had trouble finding parking spots, but you might want to pay for on-site parking if you don’t feel like driving around the block at the end of the day.
First I want to state that the host Leonardo was very gracious an patient with us. The surrounding area had a lot business for all your needs. The parking fee should have been in with the rental fee. I did check later and it appears on street parking requires a parking permit. If you are mobility challenge I would not suggest the 2nd or 3rd floor apartments. The stairs are very narrow and steep. But overall is was a nice stay.
Stayed at this property for a night before heading out to an early morning flight. The l close proximity the airport was helpful. 13 min door to door since there was no traffic on a Sunday. As for the house. Property is well kept, inside was well cleaned and on all it looked like the house was well taken care of. Communications with property manager was wonderful, very quick with responses to any questions we had.
