    Steve and his family is so sweet and friendly. They helped me to get around, we chatted a lot and learned from their experience. House was super cool family house, loved the fireplace and nice backyard. I felt like I am part of their family and will definitely contact with them again in my next trip to Boston!

    It was a very nice place to stay with Steve and S. The room is big and clean, the bed is wonderfully comfortable. I had great conversations with them both and the homemade borscht was super delicious. If I'm ever near Boston again, I'll be happy to stay here again, as they are not just hosts but also friends.

    The Steve‘s is a home away from home. I enjoyed the hospitality from them as well as the respect when I preferred to keep to my own. The backyard is beautiful and the room is spacious with all amenities provided. I even had the chances to learn to cook on my own and of course, tasted a lot of tasty food from S. and enjoyed the violin/piano sessions from V.

    As I have been studying at Harvard and MIT. The house is literally 2 buses away (1 hour 10 minutes) from Harvard Yard ( Bus No. 52 then Bus No. 71 via Watertown) on weekdays. On weekend, you can hop on the Bus No. 36 then Orange Metro Line via Forest Hills ( hub) to Downtown or the campus. Just a reminder, the Metro system in Boston and Bus No. 36 is running till 1 AM at midnights, which allows you to explore the city at your free will.

    Definitely will come back for stay when I’m in Boston next time.

    We loved staying with Steve! Our three nights in Roxbury truly felt like a home away from home. The room was quiet and spacious. The bed was clean and comfortable---and quite honestly one of the best that we've slept in after touring the contiguous U.S! Our favorite part about staying with Steve was the convivial atmosphere he created when inviting us into his home. We shared a meal, and discussion and truly felt at rest among a new friend. I would recommend anyone to stay here who wanted to create a new chapter in their book for a lifelong memory. Thank you Steve, Egészségére!

    We had a great time at Steve's house! A wonderful quiet place, a huge beautiful house with a garden, a wonderful cozy room with a fireplace! Birds sing in the garden and squirrels play. Steve and his family are very attentive, friendly, intelligent, hospitable people, Steve is always ready to help and give advice. The house has a large kitchen in which it is pleasant to cook, a bathroom, a living room where you can relax in the evening. Nearby are shops, a confectionery, a hairdresser, a post office, a bus stop, etc.
    This is a great place, I recommend everyone to stay at Steve's, thank you!

    Steve is friendly and laid back. Available if you need him and not under foot if you want to be left alone. He’s been incredibly flexible as we wait for closing on our new home and allowed me to do my artwork on his back patio. He’s a really friendly and fun person! Use of the kitchen is great. We have made our first new friend in the area!
