Guest access
You'll have access to all parts of this condo! There are two other units in this multi condo home, one where I live and one other that is also rented. Your condo has a private entrance with no shared space.

Other things to note
An Uber or Lyft to the city is cheap and super quick (10-15 minutes depending on Boston traffic, of course). We are close to public transportation, which is also a quick ride into the city.

Please remember this is our home so treat it like you would a friend's home and we will do our best to make you feel like you're a friend staying with us! Linens, bath/hand/wash towels and start up toiletries are provided.

We have installed exterior only security cameras for the safety of both guest and property. These cameras are actively recording both audio and video outside all entrances and side doors. Any tampering with cameras, including, but not limited to covering and otherwise disabling of these cameras are grounds for early termination of reservation with no refunds whatsoever.

Absolutely no smoking inside or near open exterior doors - there is a $250 fee if this is violated.

Somerville is a vibrant city in itself and we are less than a mile from Medford, both have their own bars, restaurants, and historic sites that guests love! Of course, then the beautiful city of Boston is minutes away by car or public transportation. Our street is residential and quiet, but near a main street with convenient access to the highway.

My work: Wellbuilt Company
Lives in Boston, Massachusetts
Hi I’m Todd! Builder, Actor, Musician, and Dad. I’m an Emerson College graduate in Television Journalism. After my college years I headed to New York City and pursued acting, and Ianded a contract role on the soap opera As the World Turns. I also played roles in several independent films one of which premiered at Sundance film festival alongside James Franco. I had the pleasure of working alongside Massachusetts native Alicia Witt and Scottie David Morse. I love to sing and perform and have toured the country playing music. I’ve lived in California, New York, Martha’s Vineyard, and St. Louis but found my way back to Boston. My greatest joy is by far spending time with my 8 year old son George. We love going on adventures to our remote island property off the coast of Maine. Some of our favorite things to do are boating, hiking, logging, and cooking s’mores on the outdoor fire pit. I am a third generation builder. I grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts swinging a hammer, digging trenches, and operating heavy equipment machinery. My deep passion for construction has led me to owning a High End Residential Real Estate company. I love hosting and meeting new people. My son George and I look forward to sharing our home and some of our favorite Boston places with you!
