Questionable location
The inside of the property was as advertised, but there is a reason there are no images for the front of the building and no views outside of the windows from inside. The main entry to the build is left open leaving only interior doors to provide secure entrance.
There is also a reason there are no front exterior images for this listing. The house next door was abandoned with the all the windows broken out and the yard is extremely over grown. There were abandon strollers and carts in the yard.
The area in general did not make my group comfortable, but the immediate surroundings of this building made it impossible for us to feel safe. We abounded this within 10 mins of entry and had to find other arrangements in a different area.
The owner was respectful and understanding about the situation, but only gave us a refund on the cleaning fee.

Fenway Park Spartan Race
We traveled to Boston to participate/attend a stadium race at Fenway. Location was great, approximately 15 minutes
from the park. I was familar with the area and Dorchester so was comfortable in the neighborhood.
The apartment was very attractive and clean. Wish we could have used the backyard, balcony and grill.

Great Boston Group Stay
This place was perfect for our needs and was so nice inside. It was great for our big group and had all the amenities. The location was alright but close enough to the transit so we could get downtown relatively easy. Would stay again!

Buyer beware
This property needs lots of work. Walls are paper thin. Their property upstairs was rented to 10 college girls who were partying all night every night. Awful. Called owner and he informed us it was against the rules and he was sorry.

Would stay again
Eder was very easy to deal with and gave me detailed instructions on how to get into the property. The house is in an ok neighborhood and I would say this is probably the nicest house on the block. The apartment was tidy upon arrival and everything was fully stocked which was nice (towels, silverware/ pots & pans etc). The back yard had a bunch of seating which was great because it was a nice weekend. If I was going to be taking another weekend trip with a large group I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I would recommend car pooling because the street parking is hit or miss. I think 14 people (the advertised max) would be a tight fit for this space but I was with a group of 10, including me, and we made it work with one extra air mattress.

Great experience!
Eder was a wonderful host! We had an issue with our key at first and he came over right away to assist us. He was extremely accommodating with every request. We were a group of 8 and were extremely comfortable with the house. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a great weekend in Boston.

Nicely finished inside a local's place
The Leader House was a nice place on the first floor. The rooms were nice with a total of four beds. It definitely is not a tourist-y area so if you are comfortable staying with all the locals then this place is for you!
Eder was responsive and helpful with any questions we had.

The property was clean and lovely. The owner was thoughtful and responsive to any needs.
The parking was a bit of an issues and there weren't many restaurants to walk to. Other than that we had a nice stay at the property.
