Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Somerville

Amy was most helpful, kind, and accommodating. Will look forward to staying with her again in the future.

Felt like being at home!

It’s a nice stay! The house is clean, surroundings are peaceful, the transportation is also very convenient. It’s around 30ft to the bus station and then just a few stops connecting to the subway station.

I stayed with Shine for the weekend for a music festival and it was the perfect place- close to public transportation and cozy and comfortable. Shine was very responsive and answered any questions I had very quickly. She was also very kind, though I only got to meet her briefly since I was mostly out and about in Boston. I’d absolutely stay with Shine again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Laura’s airbnb! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting the Boston area. Even before we arrived, Laura’s instructions were clear and super helpful, making check in easy. The room itself was private, clean, and very comfortable. What really set this airbnb apart were the thoughtful personal touches. There was a mini fridge in the closet fully stocked with sweet treats, drinks, and even robes. They provided a computer for watching shows and a record player to enjoy some music, which made the space feel extra special. In the morning, we found cereal bowls, blueberries, and cups of water set out for breakfast - so simple, sweet, and so considerate. It’s also worth mentioning that the space is LGBTQ+ friendly, which was important to us. My partner and I both had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back! :)

Marie and Andrew's place was terrific and exactly what we were looking for in our short trip to Cambridge. Having previously lived in this neighborhood in the past, we can definitely confirm that the location here is fantastic. Extremely peaceful, safe, and private but with restaurants, cafes, and the T all within comfortable walking distance. Marie and Andrew were extremely friendly and communicative to us through our stay, and the apartment was clean, neat, and comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others looking to visit the area.

This is our 2nd time at this location and I hope we’ll be back! The space is IMMACULATE and it looks brand new, although we first stayed here a few years ago and I thought it was brand new then. Linda is very warm, accommodating and welcoming.

Hospitable host. Made sure breakfast was available every day. The place is beautiful, well decorated. It made me want to stay longer. Donnell is great to talk to, respectful of your privacy, and available if you need anything. I had a great time.

Christin is an exceptional host and this property is really special. Spacious, and incredibly well-appointed with a playful mid-century modern vibe. The deck boasts a lovely view and this beautiful space was just what we needed during a hectic, family event-driven visit to the area. Christin is super-communicative and considerate host who anticipates guests’ every need—and then some! From a well-stocked kitchen to her list of local go-tos for food, drink, pampering and fun, she provided it all before we even thought of it. There was even a bottle of celebratory bubbly chilling in the fridge when we arrived. A top Airbnb experience!

This was without a doubt the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in a lot). The host Lisa was very communicative. The Airbnb was the most well stocked Airbnb I've ever seen: Full pantry of snacks, a well-stocked kitchen cabinet with every appliance you can think of, and even a full basket of toiletries just in case you forgot something. The apartment was tastefully decorated and the furniture high quality. The bathroom was simply stunning, with a bathtub complete with bath salts, and an electronic shower with jets on the walls too! The bed was comfortable and I had no issues sleeping. The neighborhood around the house is very peaceful and walkable. However, be warned that it is not well connected to Boston via public transit compared to other locations. I would recommend this place to someone with access to a car. Nevertheless, this was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in. Highly recommended for a nice getaway!

We loved our stay! It’s about a 10min walk to the Porter T stop, so very convenient to use to get around the city. The space is exactly as described! We’d stay again.

This apartment was perfect for our family. We stayed for my son's Boston College Graduation. It was easy to enter, the space was super clean and well furnished, the beds were comfy. It was a perfect place for us!

The place was perfect! Grateful for the flexibility to check in sooner

Kemi was a wonderful host and this place is superb! Everything exceeded our expectations. It was about a 10-minute walk to the train to get into Boston, which was perfect. And coming in from the rain to a welcoming, cozy home was the best. We hope to stay here whenever we may come to the area again! Thank you so much for the special touches and everything, Kemi!

We had an awesome stay at Aaron's place. The unit was very clean and looked new. The large monitor hookup was a plus and allowed me to set up the workstation and work efficiently. The location was very convenient - within walking distance to Harvard, Porter, Union Sq, and a bunch of local favs. Aaron was also very responsive and accommodating.

Very nice property in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent frequent light rail connection to central Boston and bikeshare station nearby. It's about half a mile walk to a cozy commercial strip with good food at a variety of prices and a great café. The apartment is spacious and very clean and comfy. Bed is a bit soft for those concerned about such things. Eugenia was super responsive but we had everything we needed so we didn't have to ask. Would absolutely stay there again!

Shirley's place is as described. It is comfortable and generous in size. There is parking available both in the driveway and on the street(with a supplied parking pass) for two cars altogether. Fresh linens are plentiful and the kitchen is very practical for cooking and eating in. Outdoor furniture on the back porch allowed us to invite over friends and socialize in nice weather. It is simple, but comfortable.

We had a great stay at Cayla's home. Cayla was very responsive and flexible. We appreciated the availability of street parking (with permit provided) and laundry in the basement. Would definitely stay again!

Joseph’s place was lovely. The home was spotless and hosted a family of four perfectly. The extra effort of a little snack basket upon arrival was a nice touch. We took full advantage! The location is a great jump off point for Boston and surrounding areas. Joseph was very responsive and easy to talk to. We would recommended.

Lovely, comfortable, quiet, spacious, well-appointed apartment in a beautiful neighborhood close to many amenities and the T (subway/bus system), which will take you more or less anywhere you want to go. Clear communication from thoughtful hosts. This is a great value and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Boston, especially with children.

having your own first floor apartment is amazing it is central to all things in salem. only thing I noticed was floors creeked alot but that added to the area. Could hear upstairs people doing stuff. not a problem for us. told my kids it was a ghost upstairs and no one was above us. they ate that up and wanted to buy a ouija board to talk to that ghost. was a great experience

I spent about 10 days at Louisa's apartment near Central Square in Cambridge. This was my second visit: I stayed here for over a month last summer. Obviously I like the place, since I decided to return. :) The apartment is clean and comfortable, with lots of light and large bay windows. It feels spacious for 1 or 2 people. The subway is nearby, and there's lots to do in the area. Recommended!

April’s place was everything advertised and more - beautiful high ceilings, a nice loft in addition to the two bedrooms, great proximity to everything in Somerville and Cambridge. When we had an issue with a potential lockout, April was proactive in reaching out and incredibly helpful. Would absolutely recommend the stay.

This place was awesome! In the winter I think it would be a little far from public transit if you’re not used to the cold weather, but the airbnb itself was fantastic. The host is responsive and the place looks as advertised. No laundry so that is annoying for long term. I would recommend this flat for anyone who can climb steep stairs and likes to walk.
