Description

Boston Encor- less than 1.5 miles from The Chelsea House!

THE CHELSEA HOUSE is an apartment, on a tiny one-way street, the 3rd floor of a quiet, clean three-family brick building. The unit is very well maintained and recently furnished. Hardwood floors, exposed brick, and slanted loft ceilings creating lots of light, charm, and a warm cozy atmosphere. Free on-site parking upon request.

This is our home away from home and we have now decided to share it with others. Thank you inadvance!

Please remember, Chelsea is right outside of Boston, not directly in the city, but very close, less than 10 minutes away by public transportation. All public transportation is 3 - 10 minutes walk.

The Chelsea House is on the third floor, with 24 steps to climb, consider this when booking, especially, if you have large or heavy luggage or any issues with back or walking.

The building was built in 1900. It is very well maintained without losing its charm, but be mindful of the stairs inside are steep and narrow. Always use caution.

The apartment is fully equipped and set up for guests (our personal belongings are put away) everything in it is for your use, during your stay, AC s, Smart TV (no cable but streaming available), High-speed internet, iron and board, shampoo/soaps, toothpaste, microwave. Blowdryer/straightener (in vanity drawer) and free parking!

The kitchen is well stocked and has spices, and is ready to be cooked in. There s an electric fireplace with additional heat for the winter months or just enjoy the fire without the heat in warmer months.

If traveling with children 6 and up there s a variety of toys and a collection of children s books available. There are great parks in the area too. With younger children, there is a portable crib, portable high chair, baby blankets, towels, toys, books and an umbrella stroller, a child booster seat too!

Guests will have full private use of the apartment. There are a coin-operated washer and dryer, in the basement, which is a shared space with the other tenants.

Parking is only available during your stay, please do not park until check-in time at 3 pm and remove the car when you check-out at 11 am. I'm happy to accommodate if you d like to park it earlier or later, if I can but, arrangements must be made beforehand or when making a reservation. Thank you.

There is no interaction with me, but I can be contacted at any time for anything through here. Hands-on help is available if needed.

The building is located 5 minutes away from the airport which is extremely convenient but, keeps in mind there is noise. The planes have different routes but, there will be days where their routes are over us. The apartment is soundproof which helps.

There is only 1 parking spot. Although you can fit a truck in the parking spot, it's easier to fit a sedan size car or smaller, if you don't park well. The parking spot is directly NEXT to the building, NOT ACROSS the building. The 3 parking spaces across the building are for the building across the street. Do not park there, they will tow you.

I put a portable AC in the living room. The vent is out of the sliding door. I did t seal it completely so you can open the door for sea breeze on cooler nights, just be gentle with it. Of course, this and the other AC s will be removed for the cold months starting October. Remember to be mindful and help keep heat and ACs in control, lower hear when you are out, shut off Acs. Always, shut the electric fireplace when not in use.

The city square is very close, sometimes during the summer, they hold summer nights to enjoy. And the local theater puts on plays in the surrounding parks. At CHRISTMAS time there is a tree lighting ceremony. Don t miss it! If you stay in December.

Apartment with lots of character. You can feel that the apartment has been lived in and that everything is personal. This is very inviting for travelers passing through. Everything is well explained and the owner is always on hand if there's anything you need. It was a very pleasant stay.

Relatively quick Uber or taxi rides to and from airport. The area has a large selection of Hispanic restaurants but lacks cafes and other types of restaurants within walking distance.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The beds are comfortable and the area is quiet. The appartment is well appointed and large enough for 4 people. Lucia, the host, has thought if everything ad was available to answer questios. I highly recommended it.

Very warm, historic feel to apartment with high slanted ceilings, skylights and exposed brick located in an equally beautiful historic street and neighborhood. A surprise around every corner, including a balcony and antique furnishings. The nearby parking spot between the buildings is great. The kitchen was well equipped with a full-size dining table. A memorable stay!

I stayed here with my partner and 2 friends for a weekend. There was plenty of space for all 4 of us. It was very cozy, clean, and really did feel like a home away from home. The host was very communicative, and helped resolve an issue with my booking. Inside of the apartment there is also a binder with things to do and local restaurants, which is very helpful for us out-of-towners. Actually finding the property and getting into the building was a bit confusing, but Lucia provided very clear instructions. The neighborhood seems very safe and even with how close the apartment is to the police station there wasn't a lot of noise. The apartment is close to the commuter rail and there are several bus options for getting into the city.As it says in the listing, there are a couple sets of steep stairs for getting into the apartment, and there is no alternative way to enter, so that is definitely something to be aware of before booking if anyone in your party has issues getting up stairs. Aside from that, I would recommend this for anyone looking for a very comfortable stay in Boston for a weekend or a longer stay.Thank you Lucia!

We booked this for our trip to Boston. This was in a great location with a short walk to buses to take to in to the city. The place itself was clean and cozy. Lucia instructions were clear and she was an excellent communicator. I would recommend this place.

This apartment had a well equipped kitchen, very clean, and comfy beds. Being close to the bus line made it easy going to downtown Boston. As for the parking space, it was great to have a spot right next to the apartment for my medium size SUV, but any larger and it might not fit. Other than this, our stay was very nice and made our trip to Boston wonderful! Lucia was great with getting back to us quickly with answers to our questions!

We loved this apartment/bungalow. Beds are great. Amazing communication with Lucia. Kitchen supplies and snacks. Having that parking spot is a huge bonus. Quirky, convenient, comfortable and clean.

This was a nice old, refurbished, apartment in Chelsea. This was just close enough to Boston to do the Boston tourist things without staying in the city proper. With the included parking space we were able to park upon arrival and just use public transpiration. It was great! There was a repair issue that arose during our stay, and as soon as I messaged about it, arrangements were made for the repair to happen. Communication was wonderful! I would gladly stay here again if I ever return to Boston.

Nice place with a very helpful hostess. Easy access to Boston for our needs. Was fun watching the planes coming in or out of Logan, but it didn't go on late so was no issue sound wise.
