Staying in Lynn

I was over in Boston from the UK to pick up my daughter from college. The flat was perfect in terms of offering us spacious and convenient accommodation and a much more attractive rate than other options in the area. It was great to stay by the sea with lots of options for eating out. I did some business in Boston by train and again this worked out really well. George is a great host and nothing was too much trouble for him.

Victorian House

The place was just as described. We had a parking spot in garage, and our host George was wonderful. He took all our luggage upstairs and carried it down when we got through. He gave us directions to places to eat and to the subway. The subway was about 4 miles but was easy to find and park our car while we took it to Boston each day. Allowed us to stay out of the Boston traffic. Kitchen was great although we did not cook, all the stuff was there for us to use. He furnished coffee and sugar, had a complementary bottle of wine sitting there for our use. Would definitely stay there again. Probably not good for people who have difficulty climbing stairs as there are 2 sets and they are steep, although you only have to climb them once a day. Real safe and quite neighborhood, just one or two short blocks to ocean.

Loved this apartment

This apartment was perfect for us. You can walk to a beautiful commercial district in Swampscott. There is a wonderful fish market in Marblehead, a short fifteen minute drive. The apartment is clean, well furnished, and the kitchen has everything you need. The beds are comfortable, and the neighborhood is historical, a block from the beach, and full of fabulous houses. We felt totally safe walking at night. I will warn you that the stairs are very steep, so if you have a problem with that,this is not the apartment for you. Other than that, the location is perfect, the launch off to public transportation is very close, and the public library is one of the most gorgeous I have ever seen. George was out of town but his brother and sister-in-law were wonderful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It is a wonderful bargain. Actually, I would live in this apartment. There is plenty of closet and dresser space, so if you are looking for more than a week stay, this is a good choice.
