About this property

Spacious, Immaculate, Great Location

Housed on the third floor of our 1890 Victorian home in the city's thriving South Boston neighborhood, we are conveniently located (adjacent to downtown & close to the BCEC) on East Broadway with a bus stop at the corner of our block. In light of CoVid, we are contact-free since renters have separate access through the basement and back stairwell to the top floor unit. While we've always taken pride in being immaculate, we are taking extra steps to completely disinfect all exposed areas/surfaces. Parking is available for a small fee and pets are welcome for longer term visits.

Adjacent to the 'village' area, everything is safely within walking distance including the BCEC, restaurants, the subway (Red line Broadway Stop), grocery/drug stores, parks, Dorchester Heights historical monument, and the beach. This 1,100 square-ft immaculate, spacious 4-room apartment + full bath/tub has its own separate entrance w/partial city views, central air, speedy wifi, and a sizable eat-in kitchen. The unit is basic, providing a great value for a clean, comfortable, well-stocked space. The owners who occupy the downstairs make every effort to make the process easy & straightforward from start to finish for all renters. As only the 7th listing on Boston/VRBO 17 years ago we've thoroughly enjoyed this labor of love, and all the wonderful people we've met.

We host families, tourists, actors, marathoners, and corporate clients - all enjoy our convenient location to downtown, the airport, public transport and Boston's main attractions including the Freedom Trail/Boston Common, Fenway Park, Children's Museum, JFK Library/Museum..... all within 2 - 3 miles from here. There is no need to rent a car unless traveling well outside the city limits, although there is free on-street parking. We also have a parking spot you can rent for $15/night, just a few doors down.

Best Mother's Day Weekend
This property was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our first trip to Boston! The hosts were so gracious and easy to communicate with and made it so easy to extend our checkout a few hours to better align with our departing flights. Would most definitely stay here again!!

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location
We had a great stay in Donna and Max's apartment. It was super clean, very quiet, and in a convenient area. The T station was about a 20 minute walk, but we didn't mind the exercise. The hosts were very friendly and responsive during our 4-night stay. We'd definitely stay with them again!

Great place!
I stayed here for a conference while my family toured colleges and Boston. It’s easy to walk to the BCEC and my wife and kids had no issues getting to / from colleges in the greater Boston area. Clean, roomy place, fun neighborhood and great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Donna & Max Rans, Owners-occupied

Host profile image
Married with 3 children ages 25, 23 & 19, we moved here in 2001 from Redondo Bch, Southern California. Donna is originally from the Boston area, but moved to LA for work after graduate school where she met and fell in love with Max - a native Southern Californian she married in 1994. Seven years later, Donna convinced Max to move back to her Boston roots - and by the snowiest winter of 2015 they weren't sure why! But seriously, Boston has been a great family urban setting to raise our children - we love the city and the exciting life it offers!

Why they chose this property

Even with 5 of us, this large house with 4 floors was always more space than we needed. The top floor was originally built with separate access and often operated as an autonomous level, so we continued renting it as such when we moved in. Since we have often traveled via VRBO/Homeaway, we thought it would be great to similarly offer short-term rentals instead of the traditional month-to-month leasing. We've always had much success renting our top floor through VRBO, and have met so many wonderful people from around the world. It's truly a labor of love!

What makes this property unique

Our longevity! We were only the 7th property listed on Boston's VRBO website in 2004, long before it became popular - and LONG before Air B&B. In light of increased immense competition, we remain one of the busier properties with many cherished "regulars" - and we're one of the few with such longevity that has all 5-star reviews. Hopefully we're doing something right:)
