Darling property, very well decorated and maintained. A good, convenient location, especially with Madaline’s soft serve ice cream right around the corner. I wish that there had been two bath towels/person. The towels were nice quality. Only downside was the bed is really soft. Overall, an excellent stay!

Thank you Susan. Y'all were wonderful guests and we hope to have you back again sometime soon. I'm so sorry about the towels. I should have let you know that there is a stack of additional towels in the bedroom closet on the shelf if needed. Sorry about that! Thanks again.

If you plan to stay in Boston, Stay Here! Everything was better than you’d expect. The location is in the beautiful south end on a quaint and quiet street. It’s close to shops, restaurants, Whole Foods, parking garage (Clarendon Lot gave us a two week rate), and a short walk to the Public Garden, Common and Newberry St. The apartment is clean, comfortable and well stocked with real thought given to making the guests feel happy and at home. Jack was always available by phone but there was really very little we needed! The back yard was a real plus! Be aware that there are stairs from the bedroom down to the living space and bathroom, which have thoughtfully placed motion lights to guide your way.

Exceptional Stay in Quiet Location

The location was outstanding offering easy access to all attractions and public transportation, all while being situated on a quiet street. The host was the best I've ever encountered-extremely responsive and attentive to all our needs. I was concerned about parking since we drove in, but the garage was only 2 blocks away and secure. Dropping off luggage first at the house was no problem. Would stay here again and recommend.

We love old homes and this was such a lovely home for our Boston adventure! Everything needed in a home is provided and the location has so many restaurants, convenience stores and shopping within walking distance. Copley Park is right around the corner and train stops are very close. Days were spent doing walking tours in the North End and the Freedom trail, train rides to Boston College, and driving to Salem and Gloucester. Parking should definitely be planned as there is no street parking available, but a parking garage is nearby and easily walkable (40/day). Communication with our host was excellent!
Street view. Street side parking is for local residents only with a neighborhood parking sticker.

Amazing

Absolutely amazing stay. My husband and I have rented numerous VRBOs through the years and this one, hands down, was the best. The apartment was beautiful and super clean. Location was perfect. Just a very short walk to the T. Above all, the host was superb! I am 100% going to stay here again and would highly recommend this rental.

South End Boston Spring(board)!

This host obviously pays attention to the details of making one FEEL welcomed upon arrival. The unit offers an immersion experience in the South End/Back Bay part of Boston, with easy access to the T. I would absolutely stay here again; we barely got started with what's to see and do at your doorstep. It's a relaxing place to come back to at the end of every adventure.

The hospitality was unbeatable. Jack provided an attention to detail I haven't experienced in other VRBO properties. Fresh flowers everywhere, stocked fridge, wine, down to the lighting on the stairs! I adored my stay here. Extremely walkable location, gorgeous historic property, with amazing hosts. I just left and I already want to go back!

Perfect spot!

This was the cutest historic apartment in a great location. We were walking distance from many restaurants, shops, and public transportation. Everything felt very safe walking in day or night. We loved the sitting in the back patio relaxing and the wonderful hospitality. Snacks and some food were provided (cheese/meat/crackers, wine, OJ, milk, and candy). The apartment felt like a home. We are so happy to have stayed here.

Paradise

If you want to truly experience the city of Boston you need to live like a local. This perfectly appointed brownstone did not disappoint! Super clean, small/quaint/cozy but plenty of space. Great outdoor courtyard patio area. We can’t wait to return!! And if you want the best night sleep ever you are going to love the bed! Mattress/bedding were heavenly.
