Clean, beautiful and spacious.
3 friends and I enjoyed our stay. Just as described. Lots of room for staying in on a rainy day. Restaurants close by. 20 mins walk to the subway. Easy check in and check out. Convenient to the highway. Host was readily available if needed. Don’t need your car while there.

Spacious, convenient location
Our family of four had a great time. Apartment was as described, clean, comfortable, plenty of space, convenient location to everything we wanted to see in the area. Off street parking definitely a bonus. Neighborhood is quiet and cute but the street parking seemed full all the time. Only negative is that it is an old house with creaky floors so when there were people upstairs, we could hear them moving around late at night. Otherwise everything was great. Really appreciated the coffee and snacks and laundry cards provided!

Wonderful stay in Somerville
We had a wonderful stay at Tim and Claudia’s. The property was clean and spacious. They were very responsive and accommodating with our middle of the night arrival. We would definitely stay again if we come back to Boston!

Great location and quiet at night
We enjoyed our stay! It was just the right size for all 6 of us. It was close to everything but quiet at night. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean and cozy. We would stay there again if we came back to the area!

This place is great for families. Great amenities close by and a half mile walk to 2 different T stations(orange and green lines) Entry was easy and communication with the owners was great. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for an enjoyable week.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Norton

Host profile image
I've worked at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for almost 30 years, managing the development and installation of telescopes and related equipment around the world. My current project takes me to the Greenland Ice Sheet as we get a 12m radio telescope operating in the Arctic! The objective? To image a black hole! My picture shows off one my VIP guests who visited the telescope this past year!
My wife and I bought this home several years ago, after the kids moved out and we decided to move back to the city. After working hard to renovate this 3-family, we started renting the second floor to people like us who need short term rentals and would rather not stay in a hotel.

Why they chose this property

This property is conveniently located just a minute off of I-93 and includes parking spaces. Downtown Boston is within a 10-12 minute drive or you can be headed North to the mountains very easily. Public transportation is all around; bus stops are one street over, the MBTA is less than an 18 minute walk away. Safe! This is a working class, family friendly, safe, area that is just recently getting more college students and Boston commuters. There is a lot of renovation going on in the area due to the escalating home values (check for yourself). Somerville is one of the hottest real estate markets in the US.

What makes this property unique

Parking - free and available in the driveway!
Space - plenty of space in this 1200 square foot apartment.
