Holiday rentals with breakfast in Watertown

Connie’s place was a dream. I loved everything about it: the space, the comfort, the quiet, the location. And Connie herself is wonderful. I could t have imagined a better place to stay for my first time in Cambridge.

The house was very clean and organized. Additional seating in the living room would be nice and kings beds instead of queen size beds would be better. They left snacks and bottle water for us to have which was appreciated, but we found open gallons of beverages and open food packages in the refrigerator. We also questioned the sign in the kitchen stating no cooking allowed. Honestly, that’s why we stay at Airbnb’s Overall, our stay was comfortable.

Staying at Marylin’s felt like visiting a relative (one you actually like). She made us feel like family. The home and garden are beautiful, the area is peaceful and idyllic, and the accommodations were better than described. Marylin is warm, gracious, and full of wonderful stories. We usually keep to ourselves and this was our first time sharing a space, but she made it feel easy and natural. She was never intrusive, always respectful of our privacy, yet a joy to talk with. Where else can you cover art, computer programming, literature, and gardening over coffee? She served breakfast daily and provided excellent tips on where to explore. The location is ideal, with Wellesley College, the town center, and a scenic trail along Morse Lake all within walking distance. And then there is Lily, the sweetest little puppy. Playing fetch with her was pure joy. The room was spotless, the bed super comfy. Marylin is a treasure. A bad review of her would say more about the guest than the host.

Christie is a great host—very responsive to messages. Her place is clean and conveniently located near a subway station, with easy access to downtown Boston in about 40 minutes. Highly recommended!

Absolutely perfect stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and quiet. Would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience!

Thomas is an exceptional host and this place is absolutely amazing! The house has a beautiful aesthetic and a calming vibe, and it was spotless and very well-managed. I especially loved how the room was organized, it had a romantic charm to it that really stood out. The furniture was top notch and honestly the place looks so much better in person than in photos (which is rare!). This was actually my first Airbnb stay in the States and I ended up being an hour late for checkout. Thomas was incredibly kind and didn’t even charge me for the delay, such a thoughtful gesture. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and just adds to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this place to everyone, and I’ll say it again, it’s ten times better in person! Thank you Thomas for your hospitality, will surely keep coming back to your place frequently hereafter! Hahaha

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.

Absolutely beautiful and felt like home. My bedroom looked out over an enormous formal garden and the bay, with an easy walk to the "T". This will be my go-to place in Boston.

Ashling was an amazing host. She contacted us before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Her space was fantastic and exactly what we needed for a weekend in Groton.

This was the cutest place! We all loved the garden space. The deck was very inviting. Rhona was kind enough to leave English muffins and butter for us. The selection of tea was fabulous! The bouquet and house plants made it feel very homey. There was an area close by that had a convenience store, a Dunkin Donuts, and a few decent restaurants. We would stay here again if we come back.

This place was amazing. I would come back here. I feel like we won the Airbnb lottery. It is nice to have a host that is a real person and not a company. This place is well taken care of. 1. It was much larger than I was expecting. 2. It was so clean. Probably the cleanest Airbnb I have been to. 3. There were basics in the cabinets like coffee and creamer ( such a nice touch). and some items in the fridge and freezer which made it really easy to start our day. 4. It was beautifully decorated and the garden was so pretty and nice to take coffee and wine out there. 5. We were here in the spring and it was an easy walk into town(15-20 minutes). We both like walking, but there was a spot for a car if needed. Thank you for such a wonderful time.!!

Beautiful house – fridge was stocked with eggs, butter, milk, and fruit upon arrival, as well as bathroom items. Clean and has good light and windows. It is super close to the beach! Owners are very accommodating. Highly recommend!!

This was a very comfortable place to stay in Boston! Lavette was outstanding and made us feel right at home!

Great location! Very clean:) Nice amenities:) Close to the subway, (Malden Center - orange line) which we used often to go into Boston! Plenty of space and a bed for everyone for our family of five:) We would totally recommend this for all of our family & friends:)

David & Jenny’s place was exactly as described. We felt welcomed there and their communication was top notch! We had an enjoyable stay and recommend them as hosts!

This place was cozy, comfortable, clean and quiet. Very responsive owner. Easy to get to the city by public transportation or car. Will stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Robin's place... like home away from home. Very comfortable beds, fabulous kitchen for those who love to cook. Kitchen is FULLY stocked with all essential and then some! You'll love this place! Thanks so much Robin! I'm sure we'll be back!!

Absolutely loved my stay and the home was full of so much character and charm! Most of all, I enjoyed our chats. I hope to be back soon!

A beautiful craftsman style house near the center of Newton and a short drive to anywhere in the Boston area.

The place was cozy and comfortable. I slept soundly in the very “comfie” bed. I appreciated the ability to come and go as I pleased without any time restrictions as I was visiting family and would come in very late at night. Most of the weekend stay, I had the house to myself. Even when in the house with everyone present, I still felt free to move about the house and that really made a difference. The bathroom/restroom is small but fully equipped with everything I needed and the shower was perfect (water pressure, heat, etc). From the beginning and throughout the entire stay, Rob would say in his messages “welcome home” and truly, that’s what I felt for the entire trip and experience. I highly suggest staying here. They are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything to make someone feel like their space is your space. For that, I’m so grateful.

We were just in for a quick evening but everything was communicated very appropriately.

A+. This place is why I come to Airbnb: unique, immersive, and full of character. I stayed in the Witches Dorm, and it felt like part of the adventure, not just a place to sleep. The decor was rich and authentic, and the common room was so cozy I spent hours writing and reading there. The 2 twin beds were comfy (even for a 6'1" guest.) Hope, the host, is fascinating and has some amazing stories, but also totally respects your space. She keeps the common area well-stocked with snacks, coffee, and drinks, which made mornings and late nights easy. Uber was always available and affordable (~$6–10), making it easy to get around if you don’t feel like walking the scenic 25–30 mins to downtown. The walk downtown can be super varied tho—walking along the coastline one day, thru a park the next, and a myriad of ways down tiny New England streets w cute houses all about the same travel time. My first time in Salem. Felt safe at all hours. Would absolutely stay at this property again. A+

Sad to be leaving. First morning I was awoken by the sounds of birds chitchatting and a warm inviting glow peeking through the windows. Open the French door and listen to the gentle rustling of leaves, the cool breeze flowing in. I could do this for longer. But it’s time to go back to reality. Thank you Joan for hosting. Your place is wonderful.

I enjoyed my stay at Natalie’s place. Not only is she a nice host, she is extremely responsive. The self check in made it easy to get in. I saw Natalie on my way out. She graciously offered me breakfast. Sadly I declined because I was in a rush to get to an appointment. I recommend her place!
