Home Away from Home
The house is cute and very clean. If you have issues with stairs though, they are narrow and there are about 20 that go straight up to the 2nd floor bedrooms. We didn't have an issue but it's something to be aware of. The microwave handle was missing. The big burner on the stove didn't work. We had 4 people in our party but there were only enough plates for 3. We left for the day and when we got back to the VRBO we noticed that the carriage lightbulb on the front door was shattered. It was a bit unsettling. I immediately communicated this to the owner but did not receive a reply. The house is on a busy street so pulling into the driveway is easy enough but you have to be quite diligent when backing out. When we left, we were putting our garbage in the bin, but the bin was already pretty full so we had to really jam our garbage in it. Communication with the owner was a bit lacking. Overall, it's a nice house and we enjoyed our stay. The house is centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit.

Well, what is shown online and what it is real are 2 different things, I will say the house was clean but very outdated, it also has a lot of traffic on the road with multiple big trucks, and very hard to get out of the driveway , on a positive note it would be great for a 1 or 2-night stay as it was very close to Gillette Stadium which is what I was looking for, I will give this house an overall rating of a C+

It was great to have a place not in the heart of the city and retreat to a smaller town

Bad communication with the manager
Difficult to join the manager, we stay more than hours outside because the door code was changed without letting us know, charge while calling the manager several times, stupid excuse for not picking up the phone, we have to wash ourselves the clothes because no wash machine,

Less than the best’
Very noisy neighborhood. Not enough dinnerware for our party. Some burners on stove barely worked. Part of microwave fell off. No linens provided for sleep sofa which was actually a futon. Only 2 washcloths for 5 people. Very old house with difficult stairs & uneven floors. Very clean.
