November 2011Becky had a great condo and was a wonderful host! She made sure I was comfortable when I was in Boston to run a half marathon and even had coffee available in the wee hours before the race. She is a very friendly person and a wonderful host. I highly recommend staying here.
Becky's home is close to the green line train, has a fabulous temperpedic bed, 2 adorable cats and was very accommodating to my husband and me.
Staying with Becky at Desiner's Haven was a wonderful experience. The place is very cozy and tranquil complete with the most friendly cats I've ever met! Becky was so accommodating, making me feel right at home. Even though it was a short week and we both were busy, I'm happy to say I have a new friend in Boston. Thanks again Becky!!! So glad to have met you.
I stayed at Becky's for 3 days while attending a conference in Boston. I didn't get to meet her as she was out of town, but she took care to make everything comfortable and easy for me, and checked to make sure I was doing well. Her cats kept me great company! Very spacious, nicely decorated, cozy and quiet place. A very warm and homely feel to it. Couldn't ask for more!
Becky is awesome! Her place is awesome! Her cat's are awesome! Thanks to Becky I had a great initial experience in Boston. Her place is close to the Subway and also close to the Sam Adams Brewery ... What else do you need? I would highly recommend staying with her. Thanks again Becky!
Had a great time at Becky's. Very good location, close to two train line & great little village. Enjoyed Boston!O
I stayed with Becky several nights while getting my son settled in his dorm at BU. I had never done the "airbnb thing" before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I am very happy to say I was extremely pleased with my stay at Becky's. Becky, her place, her cats...everything is absolutely ADORABLE! And Becky is a most gracious and accommodating hostess. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. Coffee and breakfast (eggs with tomatoes and ricotta) were very good. The green guest room is... More »
Staying with Becky made my time in Boston very warm and so much fun! She is such a generous, flexible and easy going host. I felt very welcomed and it was a delight to share some social events with her and her friends. Both of her cats are adorable and I had fun doing yoga on her roof garden. I had a great time and can highly recommend staying with Becky in designers haven.
My stay in Becky's designers haven was absolutely excellent! Although I did not get to meet Becky as she was out of town, I felt very comfortable and at home for my ten day stay. Her two wonderful cats, Turtle and Froggy, kept me company and were excellent companions! She also left breakfast foods for me to enjoy, maps of the area, and restaurant recommendations. The apartment is beautiful and the rooftop deck is a lovely place to relax. The guest bed is incredibly comfortable and the... More »
I had a wonderful experience staying with Becky. She was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond in helping me feel welcome and at home in her condo. The accommodations were both adorable and comfortable. I definitely recommend this host!
Very friendly, gracious and accommodating - and that's just the cats! Becky was a great host, and what a lovely home. Totally made my Boston trip.
What can I say apart from a very big thank you to Becky for allowing us to stay in her lovely apartment! It really is very comfortable, the artwork is beautiful and the cats are an added bonus. Very handy for transport and in an interesting part of town. Loved coming back after a day of walking around Boston to have a glass of wine on the roof terrace. I cannot recommend Becky's home highly enough. Next time, I hope to meet Becky herself! Michael
Becky is like your long lost sister, but not. She also makes a fantastic fruit / berry salad for breakfast. She has cats which is great, though one hardly moves. She's a true eclectic type person and you feel all the better for having met her. Nice place to.
We had the best time staying with Becky! She has a great place, close to practically everything. Did I mention that Becky is a great cook? Her muffins and quiche were beyond wonderful! We would love to stay with her again. Thank you Becky!!!
Fabulous experience with a great hostess! Extremely accommodating and helpful with anything from where to hang out to how to get there. Thanks so much Becky, I hope we make it back soon!
Becky est une charmante hôtesse, attentionnée qui aime recevoir les gens chez elle, ça se voit, ça se sent!! ;) Merci Becky, nous avons eu un week end magnifique à Boston! B-Lee & n a t l a b
Becky is a fantastic host and a very outgoing, sweet person. She was very accommodating and made every effort to make me feel comfortable in her home, including making me dinner the night I arrived. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and her two cats are really friendly. If I had any questions about Boston or needed some recommendations, Becky was more than helpful in naming the best spots to visit around the city. As a new resident of Boston, I am glad to have stayed with such a... More »
Becky was a great host, the apartment was fabulous. She made coffee and made sure I had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again!
Becky is an incredible person and a gracious host. She is full of positive energy, enthusiasm, and style. Throughout my stay with her I found myself inspired by everything around me. Her place truly is a designer's haven. Thank you Becky for making my first airbnb experience so wonderful! P.S. - She is an amazing baker!
What a find! On very short notice, Becky welcomed us into her home and made our first experience with airbnb amazing. Her place is beautiful and the roof deck was perfect for relaxing with some wine & cheese. She is a great host! Thank you so much Becky!!!
Becky is a fantastic host, very accomodating and makes great breakfast! She had lots of tips and hints for things to do in Boston pointing me in the direction of a couple of fabulous meals. The condo is beautiful and the room is perfectly appointed with towels and toiletries etc if you need them. I saw a great sunset on the roof across the roof tops one night :o) Jamaica Plain seemed a really nice area in it's own right, and is close to to the train to get into the city. I would definitely...

Becky was the best house host I have ever met. She is nice, caring and an awesome cook! Her place is clean, interesting, and a kind of a get away feeling, with an awesome roof deck you can go and relax on. Would highly recommend you to stay at her place!
Becky's house is really like Becky is : an artist! We really enjoy our stay there, we could park easily in her street and it only last 15 min to go to the city center thanks to the subway. Even if we would have loved to stay more and to know better Becky, we highly recommend her place!
I had a last minute reservation with Becky and it worked out great. She was communicative during my commute from the airport to her home in Jamaica Plain. Cute, cozy, and very much like staying at a girlfriend's house. She left the key for us to enter and was readily available by cell phone to address any of our questions. She recommended some great places to eat and in the morning, she made us lattes. She sweetly left me some allergy medicine too since I'm allergic to cats. One note,... More »
We had a wonderful trip because of Becky. She is very responsive to e-mails and phone calls. Her apartment is comfy and tasteful! Cats are very good company as well. There's a bus stop near by so transportation is convenient.
Highly recommend staying with Becky and her cats. Very relaxed environment, great coffee and fabulous baked goods. Good local area with bars, cafes and highly-walkable metro/subway station. Had a bit of trouble with assorted door locks, but that could have been senility or red wine. Would definitely stay with Becky and her feline crew again. Martin
Beck is a warm, generous, and helpful host. Her apartment is beautiful and inspiring and not far from the subway. My girlfriend and I felt right at home, and we got to play with her wonderful cats too!
Becky was a fantastic host! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her fabulous apartment. She made us coffee and made sure we had everything we needed. Her artistic spirit shines through in her decoration of the apt. and it is obvious that she has put a lot of work into making it a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary. Her roof deck in particular is fantastic! Her kitties were adorable and lovable and really like people so they were very friendly. We had a fantastic time and... More »
Being an AirBnB vigin I had no idea what to expect. Well, Becky turned out to be an amazing host and cook! We met over wine in her kitchen and not only did she bake the most delicious scones we've ever had, she also suggested a few activities around town we would have missed out of otherwise. Also...her place was a brief walk to the T so we decided to go green, return our rental car and enjoy walking around Boston. As for Froggy and Turtle they were both very sweet. If the folks of AirBnB... More »
I won't be suprising comparing to the previous comments. We were 6 persons travelling to Boston from Montreal and all of us were charmed by Rebecca's home, area and her personality, without even meeting her! I guess we were lucky to have our first "airbnb" experience with her. Here, "travel like a human" takes all its sense.
Let me start off with the fact Rebecca is an amazing cook:) The breakfast she had for me was so yummy. Homemade OJ, homemade quiche and an amazing little pastry from a local bakery. Her place was very nice and homey just wish my scheduled hadn't put me there so late and leaving so early. It would've been so nice to sit and enjoy my breakfast and the weather on her roof porch. Froggy likes people and decided to sleep with me:) The only time Turtle paid me any mind was in the morning when... More »
Very nice, great local recommendations, and a comfortable, well appointed apartment. Becky was always a helpful and gracious host.
Becky and her boyfriend were great guests. They were very active in communicating both before and during the time they were there. As she mentioned in her review, the website does not give the correct address for the apartment, which is why we send out a very detailed check in email beforehand pinpointing the exact location of the apartment. I hope she and her boyfriend had a great trip and we would recommend hosting her to anyone. She is welcome back to our rentals anytime.
September 2011Becky is a gem! I enjoyed meeting her and was delighted she chose to stay at my home in Chicago. She was clean, courteous, and was communicative about her stay. I definitely recommend her as a guest.
Rebecca has an absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy apartment with lovely indoor and outdoor space. She is a designer, so every last detail in every room is accounted for in the most creative and stylish way possible. Her roommate is quiet and very nice. Lodging in Boston isnt cheap, and you can't beat the amenities she provides for such a low price! Rebecca's home is in close proximity to everything, and Jamaica Plain is the best part of Boston - fun, green - surrounded by huge parks, a... More »
