We had an amazing stay, and Lia and Blake really went above and beyond as hosts! The apartment decor was adorable and cozy, and it had lots of extra practical touches (eg hooks and small mirrors in the bedrooms, extra towels for drying hair, white noise machines, coffee bar all set up in kitchen), that made it a true pleasure to stay in, especially with a 3 year old. And when we needed laundry detergent, they dropped it off in half an hour. We asked incidentally about sledding locations nearby for our toddler and they didn't have any favorites, but looked some up for us! But what made them truly one-in-a-million hosts was that when my husband accidentally ordered some items from Amazon to the apartment address instead of our own after we'd left, they kindly dealt with the inconvenience and took them to UPS to be returned for us! These are good people, beyond just being good hosts with a fantastic apartment, and we really appreciated their efforts to take care of us.

Wonderful hosts, lovely place, and perfect location. You can find great restaurants and markets within 10 mins walk. The subway station is also close to the house. Very glad I chose to stay here for my first time in Boston! Definitely will be back!

I stayed here as a solo female for a few days during a business trip when other local hotels were sold out. The place was impeccably clean and felt safe at all times of day. The master bed was firm but comfortable, and the living room and kitchen were spacious and well-appointed. Everything about the stay was seamless / effortless - as soon as I arrived it felt like I lived in the house. The bathroom is on the smaller side but that didn't bother me since I was staying there alone. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful experience at 8 Suffolk. The place exceeded our expectation. Extremely clean and well appointed. Our host was responsive. Answered all our questions and provided several resturant recommendations. Would highly recommend.

This is a very nice apartment- super clean, well appointed and in a very nice neighborhood. Central Square is just a short walk away with tons of stores/restaurants/T-stop.

What a great place! The location is amazing. It is right in the heart of Cambridge, walkable to so many things, and also with easy parking. We shopped at Whole Foods a few blocks away. The apartment is super comfortable, clean, and well decorated. I also accidentally left a charger behind and they offered to mail it to me - so thoughtful. The street is quiet and beautiful. I will definitely stay here again when I come to Boston.
