Facing the Public Garden in Boston's most elegant and prestigious neighborhood, Beacon Hill, our 1700 sq. ft. home, completely renovated in 2019, is central to the best Boston has to offer. Restaurants, galleries, boutiques, the Charles River and Boston Common -- all just steps away!

Enjoy Boston and live like a Bostonian in our newly renovated, sophisticated and relaxed garden duplex home. Located on Beacon Street in Beacon Hill opposite the Public Garden and Boston Common (the oldestcity park in America), our apartment occupies the first two stories of a historic granite-faced 1828 Asher Benjamin townhouse. The home receives sunlight all day long and offers spectacular park and city views. It is, of course, fully air conditioned..

The main floor (Parlor level), with magnificent 11 foot ceilings and beautiful woodwork, is comprised of living room with TV and gas fireplace, as well as a brand new open plan Siematic kitchen with island and dining area. These two areas are separated by beautifully restored original pocket doors. Beyond is a powder room and a bedroom/den (sofabed) with an adjoining outdoor terrace in back.

Three bedrooms are one level down (Garden level). The main bedroom has one queen bed, two fully outfitted closets and en-suite bath with tub/shower. The second rear-facing bedroom has two twin beds and a walk in closet. In front, there is a single smaller bedroom with a full bed and outfitted closet. Off the hallway there is an additional full bathroom with a glassed in shower. The baths are fully tiled with specialty tiles from StoneSource.

Together, the bedrooms sleep 7-8 comfortably.

    This was a great space! The location couldn’t be beat! We took the subway most places or just walked. The host was very communicative! Our family of 6 adults was very comfortable. We cooked dinner in most nights with everything we needed present in the kitchen. There were great guide books in the house and an informative manual. Really wonderful in all aspects!

    This is a beautiful property right on Beacon Street next to the Public Garden and around the corner from Charles Street. So, the location would be very difficult to beat. We’re Boston veterans who used to live in the area years ago, so we can appreciate a top property when we stay at one. Peter does a great job of communicating and makes the check-in and check-out process very easy. You won’t regret choosing this VRBO, and we will gladly look to come back again soon…maybe next year! Thanks for a great stay!

    The location, accommodations, and professional nature of our interactions with the hosts were all top light. Convenient to everything. It ended up being more space than we needed because of a last-minute cancellation by two in our group. It could easily have accommodated the listed capacity.

    This townhouse was nothing short of amazing perfection. EVERYTHING was exactly as described by the host and the listing. I honestly don’t think the listing is as good as the actual home really is. Immaculate, upscale and beautiful. Was up in Boston for the Red Sox and a speaking engagement and had 4 close friends. Walked to Abe and Louie’s from the townhouse and it was a terrific walk.The location directly across from Boston Common Gardens is perfect. Words cannot do it justice. If in Boston, this is the place for the perfect stay.1000% satisfied with this host and level and ease of communication. Thank you. I will be back!

Charles street is 1 block away- great restaurants, shoppes, etc. The public gardens are beautiful across the street from the property. Everything was 15-20 min walk to major attractions. We will definitely be back.

    Location is amazing - right across from Boston Commons park, and very close to local eateries and shops. The apartment provided the flexibility we needed to accommodate our family, and the pocket doors closed off the living room from the kitchen area, which prevented our one year old from falling down the stairs. The master bedroom is quite spacious and includes an ensuite bathroom with deep tub. The other bedrooms are smaller and share a bathroom with shower. The kitchen was well equipped, and we appreciated that there were plenty.of garbage bags, dishwash detergent and even laundry detergent. Even a welcome bag of chocolates! Peter was an excellent host and was very responsive to our requests. Would definitely stay here again!

    We had so much fun in Boston and staying so close to all the places we wanted to visit was amazing and very time saving. We were able to visit something in the morning, walk back and rest a bit and then head out again. One bed was small for a couple to share but I already knew that from the pictures which represented the space very accurately. I was okay with the size because the location was so amazing.

    This place is fantastic! My family was in town visiting colleges and sightseeing, and this townhouse was perfect for us. One morning was quite rainy, and we were able to sleep in and eat a lazy breakfast and watch TV until the skies cleared. We all had plenty of space and bathrooms, and the laundry was super helpful. This was the perfect launching spot for our adventures, and Peter was an incredibly gracious and helpful host.
