Great neighborhood and clean!

This was a great little place to stay if you want to be close to all of the colleges and downtown. The backyard backs up to an elementary school and it’s in a safe neighborhood. We saw all 6 colleges and did some fun Boston touristy things. The only problem was the very steep stairs.

Clean, comfortable, spacious, and good AC

We stayed for three nights in Arlington and really enjoyed our time. This is one of the best places we’ve stayed, with comfortable beds and plenty of room to spread out. The AC was great and very helpful during some of the hottest days we’ve had this summer. The bathrooms have been recently renovated and are very clean and well organized. Our hosts thought of many extra touches that we all appreciated— some games and toys for kids, plenty of paper towels ant kitchen supplies, an iron and ironing board, cordless blinds and blackout curtains. There was also a portable crib and high chair in the closet. (We didn’t need them, but someone with small kids would!) One thing to mention— The staircase going up to the second floor is extremely steep, almost like a loft ladder. Our kids stayed upstairs and were fine, but if they were younger, we would have been hesitant to have them climbing up and down that staircase. We love the area and would love to stay again. Thanks!!
