Our family of four was visiting Boston and the surrounding region for 5 days. For our two daughters (ages 14 and 16), this was their first trip to the region. We combined college visits with standard "first time tourists in Boston" activities (e.g. Freedom Trail, Swan Boats, dinner in the North End), and also side trips to the Cape, Plymouth and Salem. Every minute of the trip was fantastic, and we loved our VRBO. The Charlestown neighborhood was lovely, and a great location from which to launch all our other activities.  The apartment itself was a great size, and very nicely arranged for our family. It was a great balance between unique and charming decor, but also simple, clean and clutter-free. Our host Cindy was great and very easy to work with. We would definitely recommend this VRBO to our friends with 2-4 people who are visiting Boston.
