Great Neighborhood & Attentive Host
We were in Boston for 5 nights so that I could run the marathon. The location of the apartment was so convenient. Everything were looking for was .5 miles away. We don't mind walking so there was no need for taxis/uber. There are several great restaurants just around the corner and downtown was an 20 min walk. There was never a time that we didn't feel safe on the nearby streets. There was also bike rentals right around the corner. The apartment itself is an older building. The apartment is in the basement so it can feel a little dark. Some of the doors stick and such. All things you would think of an older building. It had great character and was furnished nicely. If you are looking for five star luxury, this is not it but it was comfortable and had all the necessities. The bed was comfortable. If you are traveling with someone, you would want to know that person pretty well, because there is not a lot of privacy as it is a smaller space. The pictures accurately depict the apartment. The back porch was quaint. We did not use it much because it was a bit chilly. The heating and air worked well. The bathroom is small. Between that and the narrow stairs down to the apartment, I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility challenges. The host was great. We communicated quite a bit in the booking process and had a couple things come up during the trip that needed attention and we was very responsive and helpful. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Classic, yet updated South Boston brownstone
Casa Russo was a thoughtfully decorated apartment with a spacious living room and functional layout. The back patio was a treat. And the shower was clean and spacious. The apartment was on a quiet and clean Boston street, yet still central to many shopping, dining, and recreational areas. And the host was responsive and professional. This is a fantastic apartment for many guests and has quite a typical aesthetic for South Boston brownstone apartments, with welcoming exposed brick and nestled amongst other units. One note for guests with limited mobility or heavy suitcases: The entrance to the brownstone has narrow and quite steep steps up, and the full staircase down to the partially-underground apartment is somewhat narrow, so take note when booking if that’s a consideration for your party.

Loved Our Stay - Great Location
Quick weekend stay to visit our college student. The apartment was exactly as listed: quiet, private, comfortable, clean, and walkable to everything we needed (restaurants, shops, & even Fenway). Loved the private back deck to enjoy the fall weather. Property owner was accommodating and responsive which is much appreciated. I plan to save this rental for future trips! Just a note: it is a basement apartment so there are steps but did not find them unreasonable. If have mobility issues, then reconsider.

Great location Apartment in Boston
The greatest thing about this apartment is its location to attractions in downtown Boston. Everything is a short one mile walk away. I am a walker so this worked out nicely for me and my boyfriend. To reiterate what many people have said in the reviews, the apartment is located in a basement level and the stairs are narrow. This is not a good place to rent for someone with mobility issues. Also, the towels that were provided were a little stained. They appeared clean but could use some bleach. The weirdest thing about the unit was the shower door that did not close all the way. This was only strange in that the toilet paper was in the open space so the water spray from the shower would sometimes hit the toilet paper. It is a small thing though because the rest of the unit was nice and clean. Again, the apartment was a great location!
