About this property

Charlestown Gem - Historic and Central Boston location, perfect for walking

Welcome to your home away from home in historic Charlestown/Boston, just one block from the Bunker Hill Monument! This walkable home base puts you steps from public transportation, the North End, Faneuil Hall and so much more. Enjoy the perfect blend of charm, location and accessibility - read on to discover more!

THE SPACE:

This sunny, second-floor (15 stairs up) unit offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with natural light pouring in through large windows and hardwood floors adding to its charm. The two bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on opposite sides of the unit, making it ideal for couples, families, or colleagues who value privacy during their stay.

Step outside to enjoy a rare city perk: a shared backyard space available for guests during the months of May 15 - October where you can sip your morning coffee and/or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street, the home feels like a quiet escape—yet you’re just minutes from it all.

Stroll to the North End for world-class Italian food, explore the Freedom Trail right from your doorstep, or grab groceries and coffee at nearby Whole Foods and Starbucks.
