Great location, everything you could need
Really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers! Well equipped accommodation with a homely feel. We didn't want for anything. Maria and John were extremely helpful when needed. The location of this property is fantastic with lots of restaurants a short walk away. Quick and regular access to the city via train (Green St. Orange T) or bus (no.39) was also close by - perfect for sightseeing.

The property was an ideal place to stay we couldn't have asked for more.
The house to the rear of the main property was ideal in every way. It was very clean and cosy and very well equipped. Maria was a very helpful lady and went out of her way to supply any information needed. Would definitely recommend this property.

Low key JP is the place to be
JP is a wonderful neighborhood. If you enjoy walking, everything is not too far. There are bakeries, local shops, food, ice cream, drug stores, hardware stores, and nice restaurants. There are also lots of parks and places to walk. The metro or T as it is known here, is also a short walk. Very easy to get downtown if you need to.

Rustic more than renovated
Great place, great host. Lots of sweet touches—basket of packaged goodies and extra toiletries and some staples in the fridge. The kitchen seemed well stocked though admittedly we only used the microwave and toaster—mostly wanted to enjoy the local flavors. The stairs felt a bit “slanted” but it is a historical home so settling would be expected. There were some basic “maintenance” things that may need attention. The light on the porch was out so it made it difficult to navigate locks after dark but our cell phone worked just fine. Also had a loose porch rail. The bathroom probs could use a bit of work/cleaning—chipped paint on ceiling, pretty dusty on baseboards, some cobwebs in corners, dusty ceiling fan, walls were grungy, the shower curtain liner was orange-ish. It may have just been the character that comes with the age of the building but a coat of paint would probs make a huge difference for guests and easier to keep clean overall for housekeepers. One of the kitchen cabinet fronts was also loose. These things were all little in nature honestly and we never said anything to the host as they never became an issue. Just things we noticed especially since the listing stated that the unit had been recently renovated. The beds were comfy and a great location. The neighborhood was pretty and the unit was quite comfy for us overall. Very close to transportation and to the airport. Host was VERY helpful and responsive and answered questions very quickly.
