We had a great stay! The suite was clean, private, and conveniently located, making it easy to explore Boston and nearby attractions. The entire experience was hassle-free, and the detailed instructions and house rules made everything straightforward, from check-in to our stay. We also appreciated having a microwave and refrigerator, which added to the convenience. One suggestion would be to improve the soundproofing, as external noise was noticeable inside the suite. A quieter environment would make the space even more relaxing after a full day of exploring. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the cleanliness, privacy, and thoughtful touches that made everything convenient and comfortable!

This guest suite is small but sufficient for 2 people. It is in a great location for exploring the downtown Boston area. We would stay here again. The host were very responsive.
