Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Waltham

Karen's home is lovely and well situated in a peaceful tree-lined neighborhood close to all the historic sites in Concord. The bedroom is spacious, comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed. Karen and Brook were very friendly and welcoming hosts. We enjoyed our stay -- and the chance to walk to beautiful Walden Pond.

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.

I came to Boston to attend my daughter’s graduation from Boston college. I found the location very convenient for this purpose. I could not have been more comfortable or well cared for staying at Rose’s beautiful upstairs suite! From the very beginning she made sure I felt welcomed and gave me personal instructions and a tour of the premises. She was available yet allowed me to have privacy. Her home is beautifully furnished and situated in a quiet neighborhood and has peaceful garden spots with seating to enjoy that are part of the home grounds. She had a plethora of recommendations for local attractions and restaurants in the welcome packet. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying with Rose!

It was my second stay here and the whole experience was outstanding, once again. Such a great place and hosts.

Clean and spacious room. Host was very accommodating with flexible check in time. Other rooms in the house are rentable so the common spaces are similar to a hostel.

This was an excellent choice—our last-minute selection, and we were thoroughly pleased. Communication was smooth, and the place was fantastic. Very modern and stylish! We would gladly book again!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Weston, MA. The house was spacious, spotless, and located in a peaceful, wooded neighborhood right next to Cat Rock Park—perfect for relaxing or enjoying nature. It was incredibly quiet, which made for a restful stay. Parking was convenient, and check-in was seamless. Everything about the experience was easy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and well-located home away from home.

Excellent. The place is a rooming house with several bedrooms and two baths. Full kitchen and off street parking, but call ahead to reserve yourself a spot. There was ample street parking when I got there at 6:30. Super clean, comfortable bed in room 3, and surprisingly quiet for being so close to the pike. I will definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect for my weekend trip to my hometown. It was actually one block away from my old apartment! The location is close to two bus lines that run frequently and take you into Harvard Square, which provides easy access to the rest of the T. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. You have to call the host for check-in and I prefer self check-in, but that is the only thing I didn't love. The host was responsive and friendly so it wasn't a big deal. The parking spot is awesome and a huge plus for the Boston area I would definitely stay here again.

We needed a quiet place for a short trip. Don’s apartment worked out really well. It is spacious and very clean, beds are comfortable, thermostat is adjustable, and you can park in the driveway. We appreciated that the kitchen is stocked with basics (salt, pepper, vinegar etc). Despite the lack of cooking range (there’s an electric skillet), we were able to cook simple meals. Great place.

We enjoyed our stay here! the neighborhood was very nice and we felt safe. The restaurants and coffee shops in town were close and very good. We enjoyed the dining area/sunroom in the home and found it very peaceful. The hosts were in contact with us and checked in to see if we needed anything before we left. Overall, a great stay and a nice spot close to Boston.

Bonnie’s place was just what we needed for a quick stop in an amazing location, surrounded by so much history.

We found the place just ad advertised. Clean. Quiet. Within close proximity to downtown Boston. Has everything we needed.

The detail inside to the bumble bee theme was great with something new always catching your eye. Was able to check in an hour early and Julia was very transparent with communication.

This is a lovely, cozy, private attached apartment on a quiet street. We'll definitely try to stay here again on our return trips.

Domingo was a fantastic host. I had a couple of requests and Domingo was extremely responsive and was always accessible. He also provided some excellent restaurant suggestions. As far as the location itself, it's in a nice quiet neighborhood but there's not really much around within walking distance. A car or an Uber is a must to get to some of the great restaurants that Domingo suggested. Other than that, it's a great place with a fantastic host. Since this was a work trip for me, I would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you Domingo!

Dan’s place was perfect - so clean and in a great location. Dan was helpful and communicative. He even kindly left us some snacks and seltzer waters in the fridge! Such a nice touch.

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!

Located in a lovely neighborhood, this place is a gem! So well appointed, there was nothing we could have needed that wasn’t there! The decor was beautiful and Kelly provided so many extra touches. The kitchen was well equipped, including spices, Keurig Cup Pods, tons of dishes, and utensils. The bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable beds. We can’t wait to come back!!!

Reda was so wonderful with us!! Extremely communicative and friendly, the apartment is exactly like the pictures and so much better in person. My family & I had a great time in Boston but the apartment was definitely a big highlight. I recommend this place 10/10🩵

My stay at the Lighthouse was great! Perfect location, walking distance to Harvard, and made for a nice, cozy stay. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Boston!

We loved Andy’s place! Comfortable beds, hot strong shower, very roomy. Two balconies! Shops, restaurants, diners, grocery stores, discount stores, all in easy walking distance. There are quite a lot of steps to get up to the apartment, but they’re well-lit and there are hand rails everywhere. My sister lives less than a mile away from Andy’s house and doesn’t always have room for all of us. We’ll definitely be back!

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

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.
