Chelsea, Massachusetts
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 in advance!
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 cute cozy. Several restaurants nearby.
Great time at this fun little — yet spacious — electic hideaway! Loved the exposed brick, angles and old house charm! All we needed for a weekend getaway and so much nicer than a plain old hotel. Great communication with owner!
Character and charm of staying in an old East coast apartment. Clean and comfortable. Owner provided very detailed information and lots of extras to help with exploring the area, and to make the most of a trip. Highly recommend!
Lucia is a great host, very welcoming, helpful and available. She was able to accommodate both an early checkin and late checkout!! Her unit is charming, an older home with exposed brick, it is comfortable and extremely well-equipped. Beds were comfortable. Many extra homey touches let us know that this is a well-loved space with care for guests. We loved exploring the neighbourhood with great local restaurants, big food store nearby, and a close bus with speedy access to the T.
Beautiful home in a cute neighborhood.
Very cute place, convenient to get into and out of town. All the conveniences you’d have at home. Close to grocery and eateries locallyy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Chelsea. Lucia has such a well appointed, charming, clean and comfortable property as well as being a great space for all four of us. Lucia was great to communicate with us with information and queries and was such a considerate and welcoming host. We would highly recommend a visit.
Everything as listed, but nicer than in photo. I was staying at the apartment with the teenage children of a friend, and it worked out well for all. Plenty of space. So quick to the airport, and parking included. What is said about the stairs are true, very steep and narrow but we were able to lug our bags up there with minimal difficulties and good railings for those like me who have some knee issues. I did not find it difficult at all. The bus is close by, so we left the car parked and used mass transit everywhere. Overall Chelsea can be a little iffy at night, but we felt very secure at the apartment. Lucia was very prompt at answering and accommodating.
staying here absolutely made me feel like a local. While the short time I stayed here Lucia answered every question or concern in an instant. It’s in the perfect spot for absolutely any sightseeing with anything at most being an half an hour away with traffic! The house and all the amenities are so wonderful it almost makes you want to stay home. I can’t imagine coming to Boston again and not staying here. Thank you for allowing us we will absolutely be back :)
Exactly what I needed and a better price than the hotels downtown. Short bus ride to town and well kept old building. Clean and good communication.
Lucia was a gracious and extremely responsive host and quickly helped me with my many questions. The accommodation is super cute and has lovely little touches. The back patio is a great place for a cup of coffee and relaxation. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Within walking distance to restaurants, stores. Short Uber ride into the city. Owner left a lot of good info on where to eat, and tourist attractions. We didn’t spend much time there, as we were out all day and most nights. Neighbors in the building were quiet. Neighbors across the street, not so much. The beds and towels were clean. Floors and carpets were very dirty.
The Chelsea House was as advertised! Great location, easy access to bus line and the T. Apartment was clean and the owner was easy to contact. Overall a great experience would highly recommend!
