Nice cozy basement apartment by a very friendly and accommodating hostess. Breakfast was nice and filling as well.

Linda was a fantastic host and my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fantastic location and adorable home. Can't wait for our next booking. And Scooter, Linda's dog was absolutely adorable! Cheers Maureen

Linda is the best! I used instant book late on a Friday night (I had never used it before) and she was able to accommodate me and my girlfriend on such last minute notice. We came up to Nahant from Boston just to escape the city before classes started. Linda is so welcoming and friendly, and has a wonderful house! We stayed in the downstairs room which is very cozy, and has an amazingly comfortable bed. Unfortunately we did not get to interact with Linda too much, but I hope we will come back soon to stay with her. Thanks Linda!!

Linda was a very friendly host and made us feel at home at her place. She gave us some valuable advise about nice places to go on Nahant, which is a peaceful place, and nearby interesting places. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Overall, GREAT STAY! Linda's house is in such a great location, very close to the beach and very quiet. Linda was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. Our plan changed at the last minute and delayed our original check-ins time. She was able to work it out with us. Her dog, Scooter, was so adorable and a great co-host. I would definitely stay with her the next time I'm in town.

Linda was a lovely host during my time at Nahant. We spent some time sitting out back in her beautiful screened porch, drinking tea, chatting, getting to know each other a little bit. When I needed help about getting around Nahant or the larger area, she was very thorough and knowledgeable. Altogether, I had a very pleasant stay at her house in Nahant.

Linda was very friendly, welcoming and we enjoyed our conversations and stay with her. The room and bathroom are clean and comfortable. Location is great for visiting Boston and Salem!

Linda was super nice, and her place is amazing.

Comfortable and cozy house. Relaxed feeling of a very quiet neighbourhood. We also very much appreciated how the house was built and decorated on the interior.

Christians Airbnb was just perfect. Me and my wife stayed there for a weekend to celebrate our first anniversary. The house is decorated beautifully, and it's very clear that Christian put a lot of thought and time into the details. For example, we cooked a meal there and the kitchen was just as well equipped as our own kitchen at home. From the location, to the decorations, to the nightlights to even excellent towels, I couldn't have asked for more. Christian's responses were timely and helpful, and he was a very gracious host while we were at the cottage. Overall, I can't recommend this place more highly. We will definitely be going back.

Place was fantastic! Super clean and stocked with everything we needed for our trip. We even cooked a few times and had no trouble because everything we needed was already there (pots, pans, etc). Our group of 7 was super comfortable and we would definitely recommend Christians place.

Pristine home, very comfortable beds, every amenity available- perfect vacation home

I was looking for a place for a weekend getaway with some friends, and this was the perfect! Our group all agreed we'd love to come back and stay here again. I had a few questions during the booking process and Christian was quick to respond and very helpful. We had a couple of convenient off-street parking spots in the driveway we knew about before our arrival. Christian, his wife and daughter came out to greet us when we arrived, showed us around and made sure we had everything we needed. We felt welcomed right away. Super simple check in! The cottage is on a dead end street and even though it's located in a neighborhood, was very quiet. The cottage itself is so comfortable, cozy and charming. Beds were comfortable. We were a group of 7 adults and ended up bringing 2 air mattresses, so we'd all have our own bed and there was plenty of space to do that. The attention to detail, art and decorating throughout is fantastic. Very clean and well stocked with what we needed to cook a few meals and enjoy a cup of coffee together. I'd definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Hillcrest Cottage by the Sea. The home is beautifully done. The attention to detail is very impressive. The home is well appointed and well stocked. The kitchen is large and inviting and has everything you need. The loft overlooking the living room is expansive. There is a beautiful water view from the spacious deck. Our stay was very peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. Our wonderful experience at this home exceeded our expectations. Christian and Caroline were very warm and helpful. I highly recommend this home and its hosts! We can’t wait to come back!

Great place to stay, comfortable beds, room to relax

Elena and Curt's home is beautiful, super comfortable, with a very warm, welcoming feel. The view of the ocean and Boston skyline can't be beat. It is peaceful and fun, restful and breathtaking. Elena and Curt are gracious, kind and very responsive. I have stayed in their home four times and always look forward to the next visit! Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

The home was immaculate and a joy to visit. It was as if we were staying at a spa with the beautifully tiled and appointed bathrooms and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen had everything we needed and the nearby Stop and Shop and Trader Joe's enabled us to combine great eat in experiences with the recommendations of our host. For example, the sunset view and food at the Tides just as you come on the island were great. Our host communicated very well and made our stay perfect. For those who like to golf, Gannon offers a great experience at a really great price.

I stayed 5 nights in Elena's place with 2 other girlfriends and we loved it! We used it as a base to explore the Cape Ann area - Rockport and Gloucester, etc as well as a day in Boston. We only spent one day on the Nahant Beach but I wished for more! (Not all in our group love laying on the beach!). The house is comfy and the view from the top deck is awesome. We didn't even have to use A/C due to the great breezes that come off the water. I hope to get back some day!

Great place. Elena was a great host and the home was a perfect fit for us. Awesome views!

A very unusual house that is comfortable and convenient. Modern fixtures and in a historic location. The breeze was fresh and constant with glimpses of boats on the water. Easy access to Boston and to the quaint villages and towns on the north shore. Nahant is a very scenic island and beauty surrounds it on all sides. Our group of four was comfortable and especially appreciated the beautiful weather our host managed to provide. We highly recommend this property and the ease of booking and contacting the host.

Elena , the host was amazing...exactly what u see in the photos is what it is...absolutely gorgeous. the view is amazing. Everything was clean, on time and the area was great. Elena promptly answered any questions I had. Very safe, 20-25 minutes to Boston (without traffic), and a gorgeous little beachtown gem. You got to try this place out...fantastic...

We had a terrific week in Nahant, MA and enjoyed the stay at Elena's house very much. Not only the house is very nice with a beautiful terrace on top, it also has all the luxury we could have wished for while providing us an ideal mix between tranquility, close-by beach-walks , waking up with beautiful views over the ocean and yet close to the city center of Boston with easy access to public transportation. Elena ensured we felt home right away and remained comfortable for the entire duration of the stay .

Elena left a nice note with instructions and recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The house was wonderful, even better than we expected! The neighborhood was very private and quiet. We were only 10 minutes to the Blue Line train stop so getting into Boston was very easy.

It was a wonderful stay for us Mia and her husband. The house id lovely and room and bed was very comfortable . Thanks Mia for making our first AirB&B to a great stay and experince!

The home is lovely and her owners even more. Mia and Peter are gracious hosts. We were comfortable and we're able to come and go as we pleased. We especially enjoyed Mia providing us with her welcome to Our little piece of the world package, it was invaluable. Her recommendations on parking, places to eat, and things to see was spot on. Recommend this to anyone who wants to feel at home and welcomed. Blessings and joy

Our hosts were a wonderful couple and made us feel very welcome. Their home is very well located and we could walk everywhere! After our stay in Nahant we went to Boston and were offered a ride for free! With some site seeing along the way. What a treat! We totally recommend Four Winds!

Mia and Peter gave us a warm welcome, showed us around, gave us great suggestions of thinks to see and to taste! We had a great weekend, the room was super clean and quiet! Perfect! Thank you guys!

Mia & Peter where great hosts, easy going and very friendly. Mia's pancakes are the best!! East Wind was a very nice spacious room with comfortable beds. My daughter and i felt very much at home. Thanks for a great stay! Victoria & Reid

Definitely all the comforts of home in such a lovely house in a great location. Great hosts who were very welcoming. Its a very relaxing place just right after a day walking the city. Perfect for Boston with the T only 10 minutes ride away but also great for seeing the surrounding area. Mia and Peter gave great advice on what to do and where to go. Definitely go to The Blue Ox that has wonderful food and do not be put off by the understated frontage. Mia and Peter also suggested a visit to Castle Hill at Ipswich which proved a great idea as weather was very wet and we spent a couple of interesting hours before our flight home guided around the house by the 'maid'. Informative and fun. It was our first time using Airbnb and we loved it. Perfect place, perfect hosts and perfect end to our holiday in New England.

My mother and I recently visited Boston and Salem. We decided to stay between the two cities in Nahant, MA. Mia and Peter were the loveliest hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nahant! Mia was in constant communication with us before we arrived. We arrived in the evening and didn't realize until the next morning how wonderful the exterior of the home and the property truly was. The interior of Mia and Peter's home was just as beautiful and expressed their style and the history of the house! Mia showed us around, making us feel welcomed immediately. Our room was beautifully decorated and very tidy. The beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets were offered; I get cold easily so this was a nice feature. My mother is hot-natured and having an individual thermostat in the room was another treat. We love breakfast, coffee, and tea! Each morning we had a great selection of breads, fruit, coffee, and teas, which were also available if needed throughout the day! Mia and Peter have beautifully decorated and designed their home over many years to reflect their person style and the integrity of the house. Mia's selections of historically inspired wallpaper are on point and Peter's garden and brick labyrinth are such special features! Nahant is an amazing, quaint, safe island with beautiful beaches and amazing historic structures. In furthering our wonderful experience, Mia graciously drove us around the island and took us into the recently rehabilitated Nahant Life-Saving Station. Peter also graciously took us onto the house's roof to show us the stunning views of the island. This trip is one we'll always remember and have Mia and Peter to thank for their kind and inviting hospitality. We hope to see ya'll again and let us know if you visit Alabama! :)

Being greeted by Mia by the door sat the tone for a wonderful weekend. She had been very helpful in our communication up-on arrival, and both Mia and Pete kept sharing their recommendations and knowledge through out our staying. They live in a beautiful house, which they have been working hard on. Their two cats are adorable and the garden is amazing. I will highly recommend staying at Mia and Petes, especially if you are looking for lovely people, great location and stunning surroundings.

This place is a real gem. The hosts are as welcoming and accommodating as anyone could hope they would be. The house is very nice, the neighborhood is attractive and safe (particularly given the proximity to Logan), and guests are treated to staying on a peninsula with water in every direction. But the key ingredient is that Jez and Ken really care about their home and sharing it with travelers. And it shows. They are welcoming, helpful, accommodating and are interesting people to get to know. Fresh seafood near the house. Lovely backyard and garden, lovingly attended, like their guests.

I felt very much at home away from home.

Very hospitable. Chill atmosphere with extra amenities

Love it love it! The house is beautiful and the location is very convenient. It's like 3min walk to the famous Belle Isle lobster and 2min walk to bus station that can take you to the train station, Orient Height. Kenz is super nice and will give you a lot of local hints. Oh they have parking spot for you if you have a car. If you ever visited Boston, this is the place to stay! I know I will be staying here for my next trip to Boston.

Superb hospitality, beautiful home, perfect location to begin our visit to New England, everything promised and more.

We were only here for one night, but Ken and Jez made us feel right at home from the moment we were picked up at the airport. The welcoming committee also included Oliver and Winston, two lovely cats. The bed was comfortable, the amenities were plentiful and coffee on the deck in the morning was a great way to start the day.

We stayed with Ken & Jez for 6 days in Sept 2016, this was by far our best, and favorite air bnb experience! They made us feel at home from the second that Ken met us out front after arriving from the airport. They encouraged us to make their house our own, if we ever needed anything they jumped at the opportunity to help us out with anything... We mentioned we were going to get some orange juice for breakfast in the morning, and sure enough they went to the store and bought us some orange juice! One day we were running late to the red sox game, and Jez offered to drive us there, and after a long and exhausting day of walking the freedom trail, Ken offered to pick us up from the train station, so we didn't have to walk home. Their hospitality was boundless. They had everything you would ask for as a tourist, from bus routs, subway info and tourist brochures. They also had information about the local accommodations, from walking distances to the local beach, to recommendations of restaurants for breakfast and dinner. We could have stayed in Winthrop with Ken and Jez forever! It was a wonderful experience, and its great knowing we made a life long friendship with Ken and Jez! I would highly recommend you stay with them if you ever venture to BOSTON. They were truly amazing and we were truly blessed with their hospitality, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much Ken & Jez for welcoming us into your home!

It was awesome. I was tired from a tense interview day, and Jez n Ken made me feel like be home. The house and design was gorgeous. I totally recommend it and would love to go back.

I stayed in Winthrop for work for about 9 weeks over the course of the summer, and I absolutely loved my stay at Genevra's place. First of all, located near the main arteries of the North Shore, the house was a pleasure to drive to and from, as it was close to both Boston and smaller towns up north. The variety of downtown restaurants also amazed. Secondly, during off days I could always rely on the closeness of the beaches: Winthrop and Revere. The room was a perfect fit for me, as it was just enough for one. The kitchen was nice and clean all the time, the hostess let me use her fridge and all the utensils. Genevra was always nice and friendly, handling the house well and keeping it clean and cozy. I did not feel like returning to a guest house every night after work, it definitely felt like home!

Nice New England style home! Close to the airport and lovely ocean breeze. Recommend staying there!

Genevra is very welcoming and flexible!

Genevra's place was excellent! I had booked a different room but she kindly upgraded me to another room with a bigger bed. She's friendly, sweet, and easy to talk to. The room was clean and neat and the bed was AMAZING! I slept so good. The house is within walking distance to the beach and several restaurants in a quiet, safe area. She's only a 15-20 minute Uber ride to the airport. I would highly recommend staying here!

The stay was great, the host was very helpful. I'd recommend to anyone!

Clean, quiet and cozy. Genevra is a good host and the location made it easy and cheap to access Boston. Being a half a block from the ocean contributed to some great walks.

Great stay. Nice location, quiet, safe and friendly. Would defo recommend.

Genevra is the perfect host. She is warm and welcoming and does everything in her power to make you feel at home. I had a great time at her place and met awesome people there. Winthrop has its own small town charm and getting into the city is really easy. I would recommend it for everyone!

We only had a night in Salem and this apartment just made the stay all the more memorable. It really is as pretty as the photos. Irina was a brilliant host and so accommodating - she added lots of little touches that we loved, like bottled water, toothpaste, candles to use. And location was ideal - quiet but right in the centre.

Irina and her 200 year old house (!) were wonderful. Everything was very comfortable and well provided. We only wish that we had booked a longer stay so we could enjoy the jacuzzi tub and the close walking distance to all of the nearby shops/restaurants. Very adorable place. We really loved it.

Irina's place was right in downtown Salem. She provided us with free parking pass and we did not have to drive anywhere once we got there, as the place is walking distance to all the great historical houses and graves of Salem. Irina greeted us when we arrived and gave us a personal tour of everything, right down to where each and every light switch was. She could not have been more professional. It was like staying in a hotel, only better. We were able to spend our night outside on the patio, relaxing by the koi pond. We even had to suddenly leave in the middle of our trip, because of a family emergency, and Irina was really great about it and even helped us to get a partial refund. I would definitely recommend this place for any single person or couple looking to explore all that Salem has to offer.

Great location. Great space : bedroom with king, TV room and huge bathroom. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing! I had never done AIR BNB before I stayed here and let me just say I set the bar incredibly high for myself. Located right in the heart of downtown Salem it offers a Victorian ambiance that is unparalleled to any apartment/house that I've ever been too. It has the feel of a very fancy bed and breakfast including a huge jacuzzi/bathtub, king-size bed, living room with cable and washer/dryer. I'm telling you right now you won't ever find a nicer place to stay in all of the air BNB ads! Book now cause otherwise you'll miss out. We got incredibly lucky with this one folks! -Josh

If you want to enjoy your trip to Boston, rest well, being in a very confortable an clean house, then this is your place. It was my first airbnb experience and it was a very pleasant one! Irina is very nice and amicable, thanks!

Once again, Irina was a most gracious host. This was our second stay, and we refuse to stay anywhere else in Salem! She even upgraded to a huge, luxurious king size bed! The rooms were nice and toasty even in the winter. You can't beat the perfect location! If you want to come to Salem STAY HERE!!!!!

First of all, if I could give Irina more than 5 stars, I would! Her place far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I booked, she was so helpful! She has really thought of everything to insure you have a comfortable experience. The space is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. I felt very at home and did not want to leave! Location is perfect for sight seeing in Salem.
