Enjoy a stay in the middle of everything that Boston has to offer. This is a sunny condo WITH VIEWS - Boston Common and State House foliage - that few condos in Boston offer. The roof deck provides an expansive view of the Boston city skyline.
The location is perfect for exploring Boston – on foot or via public transportation. The unit is one block from the Freedom Trail and also from the Park Street subway station. Literally minutes away by foot are Beacon Hill, the Theatre District, Faneuil Hall, the North End, the Waterfront, Back Bay, and Downtown. Many of Boston’s famous restaurants and cultural attractions are near-by. Hospitals are a walk or short subway ride away.
This historic building has just been renovated. As part of the renovation the building lobby and concierge desk have been refurbished in elegant marble and wood paneling.
The unit itself has recently been tastefully redecorated and painted. Furnishings take advantage of classic high ceilings, ceiling to floor windows, and parquet floors. This specific unit has some of the best views – you will have views of Boston Common and State House gardens from the windows. Or visit the large building roof deck that overlooks the Boston skyline, Boston Common, Charles River, Beacon Hill, and the State House.
President Kennedy resided at this building in 1946.

We stayed here for seven nights in great comfort. The condo was more spacious and attractive than the photos. Much more freedom than a hotel. Comfortable bed, good WiFi access, everything we needed. Location was brilliant; walking distance to the major sights;minutes from the T and the trolley busses. Met owner on arrival who briefed us on everything. Next door restaurant Scollay Square was handy after a day out and clientele were very chatty. Emmetts pub about 50 yards away did divine onion soup. Walking distance to restaurants of Charles St although the uneven paved sidewalk made walking a little treacherous. Loved Boston, hope to return and would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

This is a centrally located flat with good amenities. Many places are close walking distance, and the T line train stations are a short walk away. The bed comfortable, the room quiet albeit with a litle city noise during the night. The flat can get stuffy on the hot days of summer. We would stay here again.

Loved the condo, the location, and Boston!! This was our first trip to Boston and we will definitely come back. This condo is within walking distance to Boston Commons, the Park Street ‘T’ station, Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall, the Freedom Trail and much more. Very good restaurants, Scollay Square is right next door and Emmet’s Irish Pub is across the street. Word of warning – it’s on Beacon Hill so there is some uphill walking back to the condo. Navigating around Boston is extremely easy and people were friendly and helpful. Felt totally safe during the day and at night. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. We loved that the building had a concierge available for information about attractions and restaurants. Don’t hesitate to book – great value!!

The property is exactly as pictured, and has every imaginable convenience. The owner was especially helpful, and responded quickly to all communication. This immaculate home away from home will be my first choice for all future trips to Boston.

Review Submitted: 11/03/10
We rented the condo for 3 nights at the tail end of a fall foliage tour. We were not disappointed and the description of the condo was quite accurate. It was especially nice that there were bathroom amenities. The owner was most accommodating and available to answer questions. The condo is centrally located and all the best sights are just walking distance away. The bed was particularly comfortable and that is very important in my book. The only thing that was not in the condo's favor was that the bedroom window did not open and the fresh air would have been nice. A fan was provided though. I would definitely stay here again.
Owner response:Update on the bedroom window: In the summer there is a window air conditioner in the bedroom window so the window does not open. However, the air conditioner does have a fan so either the A/C fan (direct to the outside) or a separate fan can be used. The bedroom window can be opened once the temperatures become moderate and the A/C is removed.

Great! Host was very accessible and helpful. Apartment was very clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. Photos are completely accurate, but don't do it justice. Wonderful view of Boston Commons from window. Location is incredible, felt very safe. Easy walk to the Park Street "T", Whole Foods, the park, Newbury Street, and restaurants galore. A bargain for the price! Would not hesitate to stay here again.

We've have been frequent visitors to Boston many times and have stayed at many of the nicer hotels (Taj, Parker House and recently the new Liberty) but have never enjoyed our accommodations as we did these. The location and view from the condo and the roof deck are to die for. For a GREAT romantic weekend escape in the best city on the planet, STAY HERE! ps.. helpful restaurant menus and brochures in the condo were helpful also!

Great location, beautiful surroundings, excellent city views. Walk to everything. The rooftop deck is spectacular. I recommend Beacon Hill Bistro (Beacon & Charles) and Scollay Square (right next door)for dining. Wonderful stay!
