Supermarkets and fast food and a Target shopping center is only a 10 minute walk away. The beach is a 8 minute walk away.
House was renovated down to the studs - exactly like a new home. We moved here July 2019. We have the space. We have a wrap around porch outfitted with comfortable seating to relax and enjoy the view of the Boston skyline and Boston Harbor. New 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom house. 4 floors of living.
2 rooms are available on the top 3rd floor with beautiful views. (Sweet Dreams and Tour of Europe rooms) Central air conditioning. And a full bathroom. You will only be sharing a bathroom with other home stay guests. There is an attic TV room for stretching out. To make things accessible, we have included basic kitchen appliances for guest use for these two guest rooms. This includes a hot water kettle, coffee maker, toaster, rice cooker, microwave and mini fridge!
2 more rooms (Tranquility and Arabian Nights rooms) are available in the lower level. These are brand new rooms. High end finishes, bathroom with a Japanese bidet toilet, 3 shower head shower. This space also has its own entrance, living room and kitchenette (many kitchen appliances stocked and this kitchen CAN be used by guests on this floor) and washer and dryer! Style and comfort is what you will see! Privacy is also made a priority. Guest bathrooms do not need to be shared with the family. We offer the comfort of home.
We love to travel ourselves, some of the places we have visited include Morocco,France, Italy, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Mexico and over 25 of the 50 states! We are an active household between working full time and school and after school activities for our kids. We enjoy being active- bootcamp, swimming, bike riding. And cooking is a passion for my husband and I. Our relax time is sitting in front of the TV and unwinding with our 2 kitties. They are the sweetest cats you will ever meet. Anyone who has met them will fall in love with this lap kitty. Or my son's favorite- time on the Ipad or computer.
We only host FEMALE GUESTS!
Rules of the home are simple- treat it with respect. My favorite saying is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
We hope to welcome you to Boston. As a multicultural family ourselves (Cantonese, Arabic, French are the other languages we speak), we understand what will be important to make your stay a positive and memorable one whether you are here to attend the great Boston schools, or for work or just visiting this great city! If you are interested in meals, let us know. We can add breakfast/dinner for a small fee.

About the Area
A commuters ideal location. Our home is just outside of Boston. 6 train stops to downtown!!!! If you don't like waiting for the bus, you won't have to here!
Just cross two streets from my home and you are at the train. This is a safe neighborhood. High end apartments are being developed in the area. It is the next hot place to be outside of Boston. You can walk to shopping at Target, get groceries at Stop and Shop, misc items at the dollar store and grab a burger at Wendy's about a 20 minute walk away. To enjoy some local fare, there is Dunkin coffee shop next to the train station and a great italian bakery on the way to the train station. Don't forget the sub shop, hair dressers and a 7 day a week convenience store just down the street. For those of you that drive, Boston is a quick 10 minute ride in and when you travel back to Logan airport, that is also about 10 minutes away.
Did I mention the beach is only a 10 minute walk from the home too! The new Encore casino with traffic is about 15 minutes from the house driving. Come visit and be our guest.

Lisa and her family were very kind and welcoming. The European Tour room is very private and has beautiful views. Lisa is very accommodating to your needs, and truly helps to make you feel part of the family. The home is very close to the Blue line which is very convenient for travel, and walking distance to the beach. As my first homestay, I was very nervous but Lisa has made it a wonderful experience.
Their cat is also very lovely! Thank you Lisa and family, for the memories!!November 2023
I lived at Lisa's house for a year and six months. The neighborhood is safe, and the train station "the Blue Line" is only three minutes away by foot. There are several small markets nearby + target, Dollar Tree. It's very convenient. Lisa is reachable, and any problem with the house is quickly resolved.
The house is modern and new. It's a nice place to stay. The beach is only two stops away by train. I stayed in the Sweet Dreams room it's cozy and the walk-in closet was large enough to hold all of my belongings. Lisa and her family are friendly and easygoing people. You can always reach out to them for help.November 2023
As someone traveling abroad for the first time, staying at Lisa’s helped make my transition ten times easier.
Everyone in the family is extremely warm including the two beautiful cats.August 2022
Lisa's homestay in Revere, MA is an excellent place. Her rooms are nicely decorated, well-furnished and have beautiful views of the city. There are 2 rooms on the top floor of her 3-story house which are only used for homestays. This makes it very private. There is a nicely sized bathroom and an attic with a sitting room that is the perfect place to escape to read or do quiet activities. She selects her homestay guests with care as my roommate is kind, respectful and quiet like myself. I share a refrigerator with my roommate and Lisa's place offers other amenities like a microwave, coffee machine, and pressure cooker to use. She lets you use the kitchen as long as you ask and clean up after yourself. The house is very clean, and she has a professional cleaner that comes once a month to do a deep clean. Her Homestay is located in a lovely neighborhood and is only a 10-minute walk away from Revere Beach. The house also offers views of the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation. If you're a nature girl at heart living in the city, this place offers the best of both worlds. Since I don't have a car, I love how close the place is to the Beachmont T stop. It's so convenient and easy to get anywhere in Boston. In addition, this place is conveniently located. It is a short walk away from a Stop and Shop, dollar tree and Target. Lisa is a warm and welcoming host and has a lovely family with 2 adorable cats. Every interaction has always been positive. I only planned on spending one month here, but with all that this place has to offer, I've decided to stay till the end of the year. I am so grateful to have chosen to stay at Lisa's homestay and you will be too.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Lisa's place!
I felt right at home with excellent hospitality while staying Boston, MA for a summer internship. Lisa was so kind and considerate, and the house was clean, affordable, and came equipped with all of the amenities needed for short or long stays.
I enjoyed getting to know Lisa's family and other guests, while still enjoying the privacy of my own space.
I was able to drive my car across country and accommodations were made for me to park for the duration of my stay. This allowed me to take weekend trips up the coast to Maine and down to Rhode Island. As far as those that are flying in, Logan is very close and super easy to navigate upon arrival. This Homestay is a few stops off the Blue Line T and from the airport--no hassle there.
The location was also wonderful! Just outside of the hustle and bustle of Boston proper, this home is nestled in a nice town--safe, close to the beach, and perfect for evening runs. It is very close to the T station and two delicious quick bites: an Italian bakery and Columbia restaurant.
Stay here and enjoy a great stay, long or short--you will be made to feel at home. :)

Lisa is one of the kindest, thoughtful, and most considerate hosts I have ever met. Her initiatives to explain the nearby shops and the transportation system help me to be acclimatized with the living situation in the Boston area quickly. She always makes sure that the guests are well-rested by checking on us regularly. The interior of the room is gorgeous: it is exactly as pictured. It's my first time coming to Boston, and sometimes I have a few misunderstandings on how things work, but Lisa and her family have been respectful, polite, and courteous: I'm really grateful that I chose to stay at their house.

Lisa and her family were great hosts! They were friendly, helpful, and made the room/house feel like a home. I would definitely come stay again with them!

Lisa's Homestay was a wonderful choice on where to live for 3 months! The room was in great shape and exactly as listed (with beautiful views overlooking Boston), the bathrooms and other common areas were cleaned weekly, and the other amenities were even better than I could have anticipated. Lisa and her entire family were very kind an welcoming - offering me use of their kitchen even in the midst of a pandemic. I would certainly recommend Lisa's home to any potential guest!

I feel really comfortable about staying there, everyone was friendly and nice to me. Also living near the beach is definitely big advantage. All rooms have cosy and beautiful design. I would definitely recommend to stay there!

Lisa's house is so clean. They clean every time they use things. Which I prefer the most because cleaning is also something I care about the most. Location of their house is great and safe. So close to the Beachmont blue line. And close to the beach to walk, run and swim. Lisa's family is so respectful and nice. They shared a plate of Couscous with me twice during my stay, and had me figs as a present. If you love cats, you are going to love lisa's cats. The cats are so adorable and they don't even bother me at all.
The only thing that I want to comment about is that during COVID-19 pandemic it is hard to share certain things together, Lisa in the first day of coming asked me if I go out a lot and interact with people while they are staying at home the majority of time. I came to an agreement to be wearing a mask while walking around the house using the kitchen or going in and out of my room. I had to wipe everything I am using after me. And decided to use my own kitchen supplies while cooking. Lisa welcomed the idea.
