Beautiful studio in historic neighborhood of Boston. Super close to downtown!

I had a wonderful stay at Will and Takara's ground floor studio in Roxbury while I was in town for graduation weekend. The place was cosy, clean and recently renovated with a slick kitchenette and a really nice bathroom. And, there was even a piano (in tune, no less) to thump on ! From the beginning, Will was always responsive and helpful over messages, and even gave me a detailed guide to restaurants & other things to do during my stay, a number of which I managed to cross off the list. I was fortunate enough to bump into him (they live on the second floor of the house) one evening and have a long, fun discussion about Boston life. I'd say my only critique was the absence of closet space; I was a solo traveler and not bothered, but I can see that being an issue for a couple. And remember, it's Roxbury, so best to have a car or be ready to use a rideshare b/c if the weather's sour, it's a long walk to the subway. Wonderful place, so glad I stayed there :)

Very clean, friendly host, they provided a lot of information to get around. A bodega nearby to buy last minute essentials, easy access to public transportation. Adding a microwave would make the kitchen perfect for a short stay. Comfortable bed, quiet to study, read or take a nap after a busy morning. 5 min walk to bus stop (route 23) that is free to ride to nearest metro station.

Comfortable studio apartment located in Roxbury, south of Downtown. The Silver Line bus stop is a 15 minute walk, and the journey to Downtown takes 20 mins. Note that the apartment doesn’t have a microwave or TV, but it is clean, the WiFi works well and the apartment was good for the two of us. The landlord was quick to address a maintenance issue we had and we really appreciated the supply of welcome snacks!

nice

Great place is very clean very attentive staff

The studio was larger than I thought it would be. Very comfortable and clean. The trundle bed was kind of hard - kids would be comfortable on it, but I don't know about adults. The regular bed was great. Hosts were friendly and gave good info on the area.

The hosts were extremely nice, helpful, and accessible. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. We chose to use Uber for transportation and we were centrally located to everything we wanted to see. We would definitely stay here again.

The apartment is beautiful, very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Big plus are also the good public transfer connections. We (couple and small child) really enjoyed staying there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and provided us with lots of recommendations. The area might not have the best reputation, but we felt comfortable and save at all times!

A cozy room in a well-maintained older home. Excellent shower and very clean all-around. The bed is comfortable and the additional trundle bed is nice but quite firm. It’s about a twenty minute walk to downtown Boston. Was cautioned by locals that it isn’t very safe to wander Roxbury neighbourhood after dark, but we had no issues. Owners were responsive, welcoming and they respected our privacy. Thank you!

Great people in a nice neighborhood, would do it again and probably will

The hosts were prompt in getting us anything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. We are 74 & 77 and it only took us 10 minutes walk to the bus station. The bus rates for seniors were extremely reasonable. Will (our host) recommended places to eat supper with-in a few minutes walk. Recommendations were excellent. The lock box was a tiny bit difficult for us as seniors as the numbers were little and difficult to see- I am sure younger people would have no problem. I wish there had been a light on the porch , to help opening the lockbox and the door, when we arrived home in the evenings.Our hosts were pleasant and helpful with information - responded very quickly to emails/texts.

The host was very helpful and gave great recommendations! Very clean and organized!! Felt very safe in the area and would recommend walking down to madhouse cafe down the street!!

Host was very responsive to our needs! Everything was clean and well put together.

Very responsive host. We loved the space -- its beautifully done. We particularly enjoyed the outstanding water pressure in the shower. Here's a nice little touch ... there was a kettle for hot water. We drink tea and not coffee and rarely find a place that allows us to drink our tea.

Great place. Convenient location. Friendly host.

Very convenient

Everything was great. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable to sleep on

We loved this quaint studio. It was spacious for the 2 of us with multiple places to sit, a fabulous kitchenette with everything we needed. The knife set was fabulous and included a knife sharpener. Very important!!! The bathroom was beautiful and Will did a wonderful job with all the tile! Comfortable bed and multiple pillows for any preference. The 4 stars for location/neighborhood were for distance from downtown, but for the price we paid, we expected that. There was also a loud party one of the weekend nights, but we had earplugs so slept fine. We had a rental car and also used Uber. It was a great central location for all we wanted to do including Cape Cod, Plimoth Patuxit, Maine, Salem as well as Concord/Lexington and downtown Freedom Trail sites. We were here for 10 days. We loved Will and Takara. Both are gracious hosts and kind and wonderful people. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Even though it's in the city, this space is located in a quiet part of town.I used the public transit, and had multiple bus lines available within a short walk. There's much to see/experience just within walking distance (up to 1 mile). There is a drive way, though, and parking options. The room itself is a good size for up to 2 adults, and a couple of young kids (under 8). The kitchen is sufficient to make small meals, but eat it all as there's no microwave to reheat leftovers.The curtains do an excellent job of blocking out any streetlights or passing headlights without completely blacking out sunlight.I was able to chill the space down with the window unit, but didn't figure out the heat situation when we had an unusually cool night. The extra blankets are cozy. A very lovely, pretty space in a house with it's own entrance which I appreciated greatly.

Nice and clean but not in a great area of the city. Needed to Uber everywhere because we didn’t feel safe walking from there. One thing people need to know before they book is that there is no TV. I thought that was pretty standard and didn’t think about looking at the amenities list to check if it had one. All in all, really pricy in our opinion for what it was.

I loved the location. It was convenient to everything I wanted to do. Madhouse Cafe being in walking distance was a phenomenal find.

Property is very clean and as described by the host. The area is not close enough to downtown so we were not able to walk unfortunately. We didn’t explore the neighborhood for food or entertainment options but the people we did see in the neighborhood were friendly. We were able to park in the driveway which was a nice perk.

Nice accomodation. Near Downtown Boston. The hote gives us a lot of tips of what to do.

I had a great stay and especially appreciated how thoughtfully designed the studio was. Spacious and private despite being I. The forest floor, everything was spotless. Little touches like the wooden slab counters and efficient storage were appreciated. Close to a great coffee shop as well.

Reasonable price & quick access to wherever you want to go. The hosts were very kind & accommodating! Would have liked a microwave!! Definitely would return!!

Property was great for just me and had all the amenities I needed (minus laundry but that was walking distance away).

A clean and comfortable studio while we explored the city. Had everything we needed.

I was in Boston for a mix of work/pleasure, and this location worked perfectly. A solid 30 minute walk from the city proper, but super rideshare accessible to anywhere you’d need to go. The hosts were quick to respond and eager to help with anything I needed, 10/10 would stay here again!

My Significant other and I came to Boston for a quick weekend trip. This location is perfect for all activities in and around the city. Clean, great location, and good food.

This studio was lovely! We were in a great location, very easy to get downtown. The studio was comfortable and bright. It had everything we needed and we had a great time. Would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic stay, exactly what I was looking for!

Room was beautiful, spacious. Well done. We loved it here.

We enjoyed everything about this stay. Perfect for a 4 night stay in Boston for me and my partner. Lovely hosts too!

Nice apartment. No tv.

The Roxbury location was great for us while visiting the greater Boston area. We could go into the city or take trips around the area without having to fight some of the crazier Boston traffic. The property is clean and inviting, with a small kitchenette. The only downside to this property is that it could use a TV. When you are away from home and come back in the evening to your place to stay, it is nice to be able to put on a movie to relax. Other than that, great location and excellent hosts. Would definitely stay here again!
