51 Reviews of Property 252013 in Boston, Massachusetts

Our family had such a wonderful stay at "An Extra Bed"...we felt so lucky to have found it! The apartment was both beautifully decorated and completely family friendly...not an easy combination to achieve. We especially appreciated the extra touches...the terrific smelling soaps and lotions; little chocolates in the cabinet; spices, oil, and condiments; movies galore; sharp knives and plentiful cooking utensils; extra fluffy towels; great kids books...I could go on and on. When we travel we always stay at vacation rental homes, and this is the only one where we kept saying "Wow!" at every turn. The location of the home couldn't be beat either. It was a short walking distance to Medford's little downtown, with coffee, stores, and restaurants, and only a 15 minute drive downtown.

Rosemarie was the quintessential host, incredibly gracious and accommodating. We highly recommend "An Extra Bed" to other travelers. We just hope this doesn't box us out for our visit to Boston next year!

We are enjoying living in your lovely apartment very much. We feel very comfortable here. Thank you for giving us the chance to stay!
Warm regards,
PS - our new grandaughter is beautiful!

Dear Rose,
Thanks alot for your kind and nice reception. We enjoyed so much your house and this city. We hope see you in the future. The best for you and your family.
Kind regards,

Dear Rosemarie,
We had a wonderful vacation in Boston and New England. As I told you during our departure, we've used HomeAway on a few occasions but "An Extra Bed" has far surpassed anything else we've rented. You've spoiled us and made it very difficult for anyone else to meet your standards. Everything was perfect. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and to share your home.
Thank you for your prompt reimbursement of the security deposit.
If any of our friends are coming to the Boston area we'll certainly recommend your apartment.
Hopefully, we'll see you again. If you ever decide to travel to our country/province be sure to let us know. We'd love the opportunity to welcome you to our home.
Regards,

We wish to convey our thanks and appreciation for a very pleasant stay that we had and tons and tons of hospitality as well as very well thought of resources that you have assembled in your beautiful home.
Thanks and warm regards,

My family and I have been renting vacation properties for 5 years. Never before have I been compelled to write a review. The pictures of this home do not do it justice. We felt like we were on a page from House Beautiful magazine. Everything was immaculate, comfortable, and artfully decorated. There was an overabundance of high quality cookware, dinnerware, entertaining pieces, towels, and linens, not to mention a variety of shampoo, conditioner, body washes, and dish and hand soaps, both bar and liquid!. The kids loved having a VCR in their bedroom along with an entire library of movies to choose from. My husband and I, on the other hand, enjoyed watching a DVD (from the same library) in peace in the living room. My husband was in heaven with wireless internet and a Dunkin Donuts half a block away. I was in heaven with the variety of take-out menus that delivered (great pizza!). The location is ideal, a very short ride to the train/bus station where we left our car each day and the kids had fun taking the T on all our travels in and out of the Boston area. This home and the owners exceeded our expectations based on our past experiences with rental properties. We are grateful that they allowed us to use their beautiful home and we will be going back.

This was my first time using Home Away & BELIEVE me I’m a very skeptical person. The pictures are EXACTLY what you get. UNBELIEVABLE in every sense of the word.., First class in hospitality, Very courteous, impeccable cleanliness, beautiful decorated & Rosemarie & Guy make you feel so welcomed. Take my advice… stay away from the hotels… & stay here… you will not be disappointed!!!

Rose and Guy could not have been any more attentive. This apartment was meticulously clean, well appointed( all included updated kitchen with eating area, beautiful dining room and living room, 2 lovely comfortable bedrooms, outside deck, t.v.with cable, wi-fi, dvds, vhs, games,and with luxury linens.). It is only a short walk to restaurants, post office & bakery in a very safe gorgeous neighborhood.Only a short train or bus ride to downtown Boston. Free on street parking! We highly recommend this rental and would return.
