Location+Comfort+Convenience

Great location, easy access to the city. Good communication from host. Only MINOR issue - the stairs getting up to the unit are very narrow and steep. So, if you have large heavy luggage, it is a bit difficult. Also, if you have any type of walking issues due to your feet or knees, it is slightly challenging. But overall, we were very happy with the unit and would come back again .

The property is conveniently located within walking distance of the subway and other transportation options. However, upon arrival, the subway line was down due to an electrical issue, so we opted for Uber for the rest of our trip, which ended up working better for our plans. The space was quiet and perfect for relaxation after a long day. The rooms and bathroom were clean, and the full kitchen, stocked with plenty of supplies, was very useful. Communication with the hosts was excellent—they were always helpful and responsive. There are numerous restaurants, bars, and convenience stores within walking distance. We highly recommend La Sultana Bakery for a fantastic café and bakery experience in the morning. Overall, we would definitely consider staying here again.

This property worked great for our quick getaway to catch a game at Fenway park and tour Boston. The property was so clean, organized and an absolutely great location. It was less than a 5-minute walk to the Maverick station of the T subway, and then only 1 stop into downtown Boston. We easily found street parking in front of the property on the first night, then used the SpotHero app to get a parking spot in the Liverpool lot, which was about a 10 minute walk from the property. Our group of 4 women did not have any problem with the narrow stairs. The hosts were great and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again on a future trip!

It was clean, and the location was good. Also, it had obviously been remodeled. Plus, it had a washer and dryer which helped us. For these reasons we give it two stars. BUT, it is a very vertical building, and undisclosed in the ad was the fact that it has two very narrow, steep staircases, one up to the main level, and one up to the second floor bedrooms, both of which take two 45 -degree turns where the stairs are just triangles. Parts of these stairways have no handrails or anything to hold on to. We had to maneuver our large bags up these stairs. In addition, and weirdly, all of the floors are on a slant, throwing off your balance and making the beds all aslant. It is like being in a funhouse room where you are trying to keep your balance. The bookcase at the top of the stairs showed about two inches between the base of it and the wall, and about 6 inches at the top! Likewise in the kitchen between the top of the kitchen cabinets and the ceiling. The worst of it was that we had made clear to the owners that we were going to be four seniors renting the place, and they never mentioned the stairs or the askew floors. It’s as if the whole unit has shifted to a tilt. We don’t know how the renovations ever passed building code. In addition to the above, the parking situation is impossible. That WAS disclosed by the ad. It was a pain. We would never rent this place again, nor do we recommend anyone else do so. You can find a better one.

Clean rooms,bathroons & kitchens. Plenty of areas to walk to for shopping. Only inconvenience as street parking and it was really not that bad. Host was in touch when needed and quick to respond

The charm of the place has so much potential. It just needs an upgrade to include sleeper sofa, more and better pillows, more towels and little touches such as board games and maybe a guest welcome book with how-to details. Or, lower the rate.

Fantastic location, easy access to Maverick station! Cozy space. Convenient to restaurants and the mattresses are excellent!

This property worked perfect for our family. Only issue that we had was the parking - while there was street parking, it was difficult to find a spot and during the day parking was limited to two hours. Otherwise, this worked well for our family of five.

Our family very much enjoyed the home and the beautiful kitchen. The stairs are for the able bodied, the upstairs shower is narrow. The temperature was not controllable, and it was hot at night even with cool temperatures outside. The bedding and towels were clean and comfortable, as well as the house. Some floors leaned a bit, but it added to the charm of it. The neighborhood was so convenient to public transportation, and the restaurants nearby will not leave you without choices. My family of 4 all enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Very clean stay and very close to T station and many stores, restaurants and fast food. Nice to have 2 bathrooms as well, which isn't super common in these apartments. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and getting to downtown Boston was super quick.

Host was helpful and the apartment was clean and organized

Great place to stay! Convenient location near buses and trains, good communication with owner and nice, clean space.

The Host were great, very accommodating. The housekeeping does a great job. We will be back to visit Boston.

Perfect spot for a pre cruise visit in Boston. Neighborhood was safe and clean. The apartment was spotless. Near the blue line for easy access to downtown. The stairs are very steep and narrow. Pack light or have someone able to carry up the stairs for you. The owners were great to work with. I would definitely stay again if traveling to Boston.

Accurate description found on the listing. Location to subway blue line is super convenient, neighborhood is real not touristy, access to unit is secured. The apartment is charming and clean with comfortable space for 5 adults. It's an old building and has its quirks like a narrow and steep staircase and tilted floors that heavy luggage will slide on, but it adds to the charm of the unit in the best way. The hosts are super hosts! Communicated easily and answered all questions we had. Check out was simple, no elaborate checklist. Boston was a great trip and a lovely town, thanks in part to this great little stay.I will book again when I return.

Great communication with good location and host very accommodating!.Stairs as expected- they are very narrow and steep with turns getting up to first floor and second so heads up for anyone with hip, knee, or climbing issues. Clean, quiet and everything we needed. Train station in next block very convenient. Only marked 4 stars as wished we had more pillows in each bedroom and shower upstairs very small.

We had a lovely stay here with our family. The apartment was clean and had plenty of space for our party of 5. The location was really convenient getting to and from places and the neighborhood itself had great restaurants and amenities.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Boston. Convenience to the Maverick was wonderful. Owners were very responsive and helpful.

The property was immaculate and the listing is accurate. Be sure to read about the narrow stairways. :) I parked my car in the Liverpool lot about .5 mile away. It worked really well since I left it there until we left Boston.It is close to restaurants and public transportation. It's a great location.

Perfect place to stay when visiting. Very clean and the hosts are great!

Boston can be expensive to eat out and stay. This VRBO was exactly what my family needed. We have 5 kids and my cousins lived in North but in a small apartment. This place has an awesome kitchen with plenty of stuff to make our meals. Big kitchen table with plenty of seating for everyone. It rained a bunch on the weekend and having access to laundry was also clutch.

We were so close to the Maverick station on the T. 22 for the 7 day CharliePass. Sooo worth it. We rented a car for one day (from airport rental center, 1 T stop away) to go to Plymouth area. Otherwise got around great on the T. I wouldn’t have wanted to try to find parking in the area. The listing indicates the struggle a bit so believe it. Apartment is super clean and quirky. It worked great for us but any mobility issues would cause difficulty with uneven floors and stairs. The stairs are as described-narrow and add in a twist at the bottom of each along with small steps, you have to be careful. Things we loved: kitchen, 2 bathrooms, laundry on main floor, cubbies for moving in for the week, location to T. Restaurants- Los Alebrijes Mexican restaurant, 7-11 around the corner for sundry items.Things we didn’t love: plastic mattress covers on 2 of three beds-think plastic shower curtain liner…this has been in reviews before so expected it was taken care of. Contacted host and they advised we could remove it after 1 poor night’s sleep. D’Parma restaurant-We did take out, didn’t touch the leftovers. Street isn’t particularly cute and trash along curb edges, some people hanging around doorsteps smoking and looking unkempt occasionally but no one bothered us, we felt pretty safe.Overall a good stay! We had slow mornings and got in late. Suited us well for 2 couples vacationing!

location was good! the owners were very responsive if we did encounter any issues.

The only negative thing we encountered was aloud banging sound during the night. This happened 2 -3 times every night. We could not tell what it was, it sounded like it was coming from outside of the apartment.

This was the perfect location and home for our family. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We were able to take the train everywhere we wanted to go and could also walk to plenty of great restaurants! The hosts were easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions. I highly recommend

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay here. It’s a very quick trip from the airport and easy to get to. We did find parking on the street for some of our stay and used the public parking for the rest. The house is comfortable with very nice appliances (full-sized washer and dryer were very appreciated). The stairs, as mentioned, were steep but we got the hang of them after a bit. We took advantage of the kitchen and living area a lot. Location is very convenient. Loved the very short walk to the T stop - went into Boston almost every day - and we had a nice Christmas stroll to Pier Park. As stated, there are shops, restaurants and banks right in the area. One of the best things about our stay was how easy it was to contact the hosts. We had one minor issue, texted the hosts and they took care of it immediately. They made sure we were taken care of, which was reassuring. We had a nice stay and are glad we stayed here.

We loved the location and appreciated the proximity to the subway and airport. Unfortunately there is no designated parking and street parking on the weekends is very limited… the closest street parking we could find was 2 1/2 blocks away (kind of a bummer with a family of 4 and lots of luggage). I really should have read the reviews in advance… the stairs are narrow and steep so my teenager with a recent ACL replacement struggled slightly. The sloped floors would have been irritating for any engineer that stays here but we were grateful that the beds were arranged with the feet sloping down so it worked for us. Grocery shopping was only a15 minute walk away and we appreciated the extra waters left by the owner since water is heavy to carry. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. Overall we enjoyed our stay but

This was an upcoming neighborhood. Lots of character. Transit close by and fast and easy. Very clean and rooms were big. Full sized kitchen well equipped Make sure you are OK with curving stairs. Very dark and you need to go slow. Lots of restaurants and services just a few steps away. I would go back.

We had a super time in this apartment. One bedroom on middle floor with kitchen, dining, and living room. Two bedrooms are on top floor and face the street. We had no issues, but make sure everyone in your party can climb narrow, steep stairs. VERY clean! Shower on top floor is small; shower/tub combo on middle floor. Never seen keypads embedded within door knobs before. We LOVED it that we weren’t required to wash towels, start dishwasher, or strip beds. Much appreciated!!
