Natalie House - Boston

Nathalie nous as très bien reçu 5etoiles

Host was super accommodating. Easy check in. Great neighborhood.

It was a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. The owner personally serves her customers and makes them feel at home. My room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was family style; my scrambled eggs were delicious. However the breakfast cost was extra. Also, I didn't have a bathroom in my room, but using the shared bathroom wasn't a problem at all. The area around the hotel is all residential, but you can easily walk to restaurants, transportation, or enjoy the nature near the Boston Reservoir. This place will be my choice #1 when I travel to Boston again.

POORLY REPRESENTED ON EXPEDIA. Nowhere on the website does it mention that this is a room in someone’s personal house. It appears on Expedia that this is a B&B, which are usually wonderful and we stay at a lot, but this did not feel like a B&B. It felt like we were an awkward friend asking to sleep over. My biggest complaint is that it does not say ANYWHERE that there is a shared bathroom. In fact, from the way it is displayed on the website, it suggests that there is a private bath in each room. As someone who navigates this website frequently, I know what items to look for when booking and read top reviews, which is why I feel so betrayed by the website. Not only is it a shared bathroom, but it is the owners personal bathroom, littered with their personal items. Neither my husband nor I felt comfortable using the bathroom to get ready let alone shower, which was an important step to our morning today. On top of that, the Cape Cod room we chose shared a very thin wall with the bathroom, so our heads when we laid down were practically against the toilet on the other side, and any time anyone else used the bathroom we were awakened. This place was awkward, confusing, and a big waste of money for what we needed. Had it been properly presented on the website as a room in a home with a shared bathroom, we would not have chosen it for this stay.

Our room was comfortable and quiet. Natalie, the host, was super friendly and interesting to talk to. She provided a hot home made breakfast with lots of additional options to meet various people's tastes. We definitely would love to return!
