PRIVATE 1bd apt in city neighborhood of Roslindale. Closest AirBnB to Rosi Square. Trains to downtown (15mins) just 2 mins away. WalkScore of 89- steps from restaurants, groceries. Full kitchen, wifi, unrestricted on-street parking. Value! Private 1bd apt. Great hotel alternative or longer stay option for visiting relatives, students, Boston Marathon, graduation visitors, language students at Boston School of Modern Foreign Languages etc. Ample on street parking. No restrictions. Walk everywhere! Closest AirBnb to Roslindale Village and train station. PRIORITIZING RESERVATIONS: As we ease back into hosting after one year off, we are prioritizing longer reservations of one week +, preferably that begin and end on a Friday or Saturday to work with our cleaners schedule. I’m sorry if we are not able to accommodate you at this time. LONG STAY INFO: Monthly pricing - contact us for long stay inquiries! We have had several guests who enjoyed 1 month+ stays. We are fully equipped for long stay with full kitchen, private washer/dryer, cleaning option and vacuum provided for self clean etc. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE APARTMENT SLEEP? We think 3, most comfortably. However we recognize that everyone's tolerance for sharing space is different, as is everyone's budget. Unlike other AirBnb's there is no charge for extra people, but we kindly ask you tell us exactly who is in your party when you request a reservation. Again- most comfortable for 3 people; a couple, small family, couple + baby, group of 3 friends. BEDS: Upstairs sleeps two comfortably in a full bed, with space for an aerobed or pack and play for one or two more guests/children sharing same bedroom. Kitchen/lounge has a recently installed (Oct '17) IKEA loveseat (Lycksele Lovas) that folds out to double sofa bed, with memory foam mattress topper. Note: We are family friendly (young kids of our own - fair warning), and can provide booster seat, pack and play, other baby items. However the apartment is not "child proofed". Note: Stairs to the bedroom are steep and may not be suitable for those with mobility impairments. Also note, Bathroom is on first floor and bedroom upstairs. This means coming downstairs to use bathroom at night. There is a light switch at the top and bottom of stairs for ease. This is a small (450sq ft) private one bed apt which is located on the back of our family home. Guests have access via their own front door to own open plan kitchen/lounge/diner, and private bathroom with tub and shower on first floor, and one bedroom upstairs. Please note external front door leads to shared lobby from which we access home office and guests access private apartment which has its own locked front door. We are happy to chat and provide tips on the area. This is a great neighborhood. If you are just looking to enjoy the privacy of your own apartment, that's fine too! We want you to be comfortable so expect us to check in via text or if we bump into you, to see if you have everything you need. It's often fastest to catch us by email, phone or text message, but generally one of us is available at the house. We want to allow for flexible check in times, especially when people have traveled a long way. However please understand our standard check is 4pm and we may not be able to greet you if we are at work. We store the key in a lock box and will share the code with you prior to arrival.

Reservation preferences: We have enjoyed hosting guests from many corners of the world. We consider being part of someone else's travel experience a great privilege and work hard to maintain our "Super Host" status. Our guests are most commonly family visiting relatives; language students; couples, small families and small groups of friends doing long weekends in Boston and sports fans! We are a busy working family. We try to accept as many reservations as practically possible. Sometimes due to work travel/timing of our cleaner's visits/our own family travel plans we have to decline short reservations at peak periods (summer-fall) and hang on for something that best fits our schedule too. We apologize in advance if we can't accommodate you this time.
