About MaryLee Trettenero
I've been a homeowner for over 27 years in this house. I remodeled last year and everything is almost new. I was in the hotel business eons ago but I like a more personal touch.
MaryLee Trettenero purchased this condo in 1987
Why MaryLee Trettenero chose Boston
My condo is in the middle of a famous historic district - 1 1/2 blocks from the Bunker Hill Monument and 3 blocks from the USS Constitution.. You can walk almost anywhere you want to go. Public transportation is 1 1/2 blocks away. You don't need a car in Boston. A cab or Uber gets here in minutes. There is a ferry in Charlestown Navy Yard that takes you to Long Wharf in Boston. A hub for the Boston Harbor Islands and other sight seeing activities. If you're tired and want to rest - it's easy to come back and recharge before you go out again. If you want to stay in and lounge - it's very comfy for that too.
What makes this condo unique
So close to Boston - you can walk there in 15 - 20 minutes. TD North Garden is also within 20 minute walk, as is North Station where trains going north originate. Free parking all weekend from Friday at 8pm to Monday at 8am on my street and anywhere in Charlestown. There are two big shopping malls close by - The Cambridge Side Galleria and Assembly Square Row. There is also a huge AMC movie theatre in Assembly Square Row. You have to make movie reservations in advance.

Reviews
Excellent!
4.5/5 -
(17 traveler reviews)
Everything we needed and then some!
Plenty of room! Started out as get away vacation for 2 and ended up having my fathers funeral mid stay. Family members flew in from all over country so we ended up with 4 more adults staying with us for a few days with no problem.
Host stocked refrigerator with water and breakfast items for our arrival which was greatly appreciated. Store 24 and restaurants within walking distance. Also ordered delivery through the YELP app and it arrived within 30 minutes.
Large reading library with wide variety of topics. Comfy furniture. Very happy to have washer and dryer to keep up with towels for 6 adults.
We either walked or used Uber everywhere we went. The #93 bus was also available. Also rented a vehicle for a day from Enterprise in Summerville and they were avail for pick up and delivery. Zip cars are also avail in the area if that is something you need.
Highly recommend! Thanks MaryLee
Good choice for a Boston visit
This property is a good place for one to three people to stay in. It is very accessible to the airport. It's nice to stay in a residential neighborhood (giving you a chance to get out of the density of the city) that is an easy walk or bus ride into Boston. Mary Lee is very gracious providing breakfast food and lots of cooking essentials. Everything about the condo was comfortable and the patio was an unexpected bonus.
Séjour familial en octobre
Bien situé dans un quartier résidentiel à 25 minutes à pied du centre historique de Boston. Accueil chaleureux avec plein de provisions dans le frigo pour le petit déjeuner. Bien organisé avec tous les ustensiles de cuisine nécessaires. En dehors des périodes de location l'appartement est occupé par la propriétaire, on est donc chez elle au milieu de ses livres et de ses bibelots. La literie est assez fatiguée et la robinetterie peu pratique, d'où le 4/5
The Perfect Place for Us
MaryLee's Charlestown condo was just the place for my wife and me during our recent one-week stay in Boston. We were close enough to the heart of the city, but not too close. We did not have a car, but from a nearby stop we took a bus to the heart of the historic district. We also used the ferry option from the Navy Yard. You can get the Super Tour buses from the Navy Yard, and the closest grocery store to the condo is there as well . MaryLee has on file a great many menus for local restaurants and other useful information. The Warren Tavern was a particularly pleasant dinner location. Breakfast essentials in the refrigerator were greatly appreciated. In every way MaryLee was a concerned and helpful host. Charlestown reminded us of Hampstead and Islington, two of our favorite areas of London. One word of caution: If you're taking a taxi from the airport, be sure you have specific directions for the Prospect Street property--our driver didn't have a clue, so we spent quite awhile circling the Bunker Hill Monument.
Great location!
This condo was a great choice for my friend and I. We were within walking distance of everything and also close to subway and bus stop. We loved coming back in the afternoons to take a break in our cozy condo before heading out for the night. The condo as very quiet, no noise heard from outside or any of the other tenants. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with. Would love to be able to come here on vacation again and stay here again.
Boston trip
We took a mini family vacation to Boston and stayed at MaryLee's lovely condo. We are a couple with our 25 year old daughter whose boyfriend joined us at the end of our stay.
The location in Charlestown was a perfect, quiet respit after long hours of walking and sightseeing.
Parking on the street for the weekend and after 8pm (out by 8am) worked out fine but could be a challenge finding a spot so drive a small car. The Nautica parking garage by the USS Constitution was only a 10min walk and is only $25/24 hours. There are 2 T stops a short 20 minutes away and the bus stop is only 2 blocks downhill. We took public transportation everywhere including Harvard and Fenway Park for a Red Sox game.
This condo was great for us. It has such a welcoming feel. This is the cleanest and best smelling place I have ever stayed in. It is larger and brighter than the photos show. MaryLee has labels on everything and left thorough instructions. The kitchen is better equipped than my own and there were plenty of extra linens. The shower is in an old claw foot tub and there are about 5 steep steps up to the door. If you have any mobility problems you should be aware of this.
What I was most impressed with was the friendliness and helpfulness of the locals.
We really enjoyed our stay, would stay again and would recommend it to friends and family.

Additional information about rental rates
First floor of a three family house. Beautiful neighborhood in a historic district in Charlestown. Similar to Beacon Hill in Boston. You can walk into Boston in 20 minutes. I'm over the bridge from the North End that has wonderful Italian restaurants. Great festive night out. Every restaurant is wonderful! ****20 minute walk from TD North Garden where the Celtics and Bruins play.
