We had a large group for an extended girl's trip. We enjoyed exploring Charlestown, and loved the proximity to Little Italy. I would return if we decided to come back to Boston.
This place is incredible! It was perfect for our large group.

Hi Mason! Thanks so very much for your kind words! It means a lot to me when guests genuinely enjoy their stay and appreciate the house. Please come back anytime. Would love to have you!!
This is the best, most charming, and single most memorable place I have ever stayed. The host was fantastic and also, one of the top 2 or 3 communicators I think I’ve ever experienced in my career. Truly an experience I will never forget. That house is a family heirloom unlike anything I’ve stayed in! What an absolute dream. And the location is great. The streets! The nearby garden! Everything was peaceful. Serene. And in a word… perfection. Thank you a million to the host for protecting its magic.
The home in Charlestown exceeded expectations. Location was great and the house was perfect for a girl’s weekend in Boston - we were surrounded by Boston charm. Home is lovely and Kate is a wonderful and responsive host. Hope to visit again!
Great townhouse in Charlestown, close to everything. Great location to enjoy Boston. Plenty of room, responsive hosts and very clean house. Nice back yard too.. Would stay again. Highly recommended.
We loved staying here! It’s cute, cozy, and clean! It’s the perfect place for a girls’ trip or a staycation. The owner is also very nice and accommodating. We definitely recommend booking this spot!

Thanks so much! I am thrilled you enjoyed your stay.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The space is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. There is plenty of space throughout the home. The beds are comfortable. Great location to enjoy Charlestown and can easily access downtown Boston.
We had a great stay! The photos of the property were very accurate. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable, plus convenient to sightseeing. Highly recommend!

Lisa, thank you for your review. Makes me very happy when renters are able to embrace the walkability of the neighborhood and easy access (walking or Uber) to other parts of the city as well. Thank you for your booking, and please come back!
Came here with 5 buddies to explore Boston for the first time and this place was perfect for our size group. The house is spacious and clean and the neighborhood is nice and chill. Kate was a great host and super accommodating.
The home was exactly as described and perfectly located for a family to enjoy exploring the city. Parking though was very difficult during the week and I would suggest leaving your car at home.

Absolutely beautiful home in the perfect location. We were able to walk to most of the sites. I would give this home 5 stars with the exception of 2 things. First, the dishwasher was still full, and the bedding for the upstairs bedrooms was still in the washer and dryer when we checked in. Second, it was difficult to get ahold of the host. Text messages and VRBO messages took days to get a response. These are my only complaints and they can be explained away by life happens. I would definitely stay here again if I find myself back in Boston needing 4 bedrooms. You can’t beat the home or location.

Hi Maurice, Thank you for your feedback, and apologies for the delay in my responses. It was a hectic time, but we did connect on the important things and I am so very happy that you enjoyed your stay! Sometimes the cleaners are short on time if there are back to back renters and occasionally leave some towels in the dryer. Please come back, we would love to have you!!
Home was fantastic. Super clean. Host was amazing. Great location. Walk easily to all in Charlestown, North End and beyond. No brainer to book this home again for our next visit.

Thanks Kevin for your review and, I am happy that you were able to enjoy the walk ability of the neighborhood! It’s quite a lovely walk to the North End for dinner or to the TD Garden for a game or concert, and of course very easy to access any of the amazing Charlestown restaurants. I’d welcome you back anytime!
This house is beautiful I would live in it myself if I could. Kathryn was a great host super helpful with all of our needs as I was there with my family for the Boston Marathon.
The location couldn’t be better. Beautiful neighborhood community with quaint local restaurants and coffee shops and a surprising number of locals pushing strollers or out walking dogs. Only a 30 minute walk to downtown and famous historic sites or a quick 10 minute UBER ride. The residence was very nice! It is registered with the historical Society and they kept many of the older features with some modern upgrades.We will definitely be staying here during our next trip to Boston!
This was a gorgeous house - complete with high ceilings, luxurious spa tub, fabulous backyard, and interesting art work.
The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was simply delightful.
Great house with plenty of space. Well decorated in a great neighborhood. Easy to get anywhere in the area from this house. Kate is quick to respond to your needs.
It's definitely a great option.....
Very cool, historic Brownstone right in the middle of Charlestown. 5 minutes to North End, Back Bay & Beacon Hill, Chinatown. Easy to get to the North Shore for Beaches & a wicked roast beef sandwich! 😁😎😎
Highly recommended!!!

Thanks so much Peter for your review, and I am so very happy that you enjoyed your stay. Please come again!
We had a very busy week so it was wonderful to have a place to stay that was comfortable and quiet. Great spot to see Boston or Cambridge and return. Owner is very responsive. The VRBO is clean and everything works. Beds are comfortable and showers have excellent pressure and ample hot water. We’d stay here again!
