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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
We stayed for a week with extended family to celebrate Thanksgiving in Boston. This property was great! We served many big meals, had a very well equipped kitchen. One thing to note is the upstairs room with the futon in it is a pass-through room that two other bedrooms open into, we had a teenager sleeping in there, and it was fine, but not much privacy. Compared to many other Boston properties, the stairs are not too steep, and not too narrow, which was great for my in-laws. Would love to stay again!

Thank you for your feedback! So very happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay and your Thanksgiving at the house. Would love to have you back!
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.
Beautiful home and great location if not parking a vehicle
Property host was very accommodating once we realized it was not the right fit for our large family driving a suburban Better fit for group without a vehicle planning to use public transportation or Uber. Home was beautiful and clean and host was very good to deal with.
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!
The house is really amazing. It is warm and comfortable with all of the modern touches yet it feels old and connected with the history of Boston. The neighborhood is charming and it's an easy walk to a grocery store. We were there over the weekend, so we could park, but if you are staying during the week, be aware that all the parking around is restricted to residents. We wish we'd been able to stay longer.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! So happy that you were comfortable in the house and enjoyed the neighborhood!
This location is excellent! Owner was very responsive when things were not as described in listing. Overall would stay again due to owners response to issues. The home was beautiful, location was incredible only issue was cleaning staff and landscapers did not do what they were expected too.
Kate was awesome through and through. From letting us check-in early, to the place being bigger and nicer than the pictures indicated, everything was perfect. We even decided we didn't need a car and just used public transit. Thanks!
