Loved our stay here during the Boston Marathon. Centrally located for an easy walk downtown or to enjoy shopping and restaurants a block away. Therese met us the night we arrived. The stairs down to the bedroom were well designed and always felt safe when holding onto the railing to make it up and down. Also loved utilizing the kitchen for some meals.

Great location and property was as described in the listing. Walking distance to tourist attractions and safe place to stay. Pretty home and we used services described with grocery delivery and uber which made our visit easier. We liked having kitchen and laundry. The owner was accessible and I would recommend to others.

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay very much and would gladly stay again, however there were a few downsides. It was unusually chilly this spring and the heater was off for 9 of the 10 days we stayed. Also there is only one bathroom and it is down the spiral stairs. The upside was the roominess and the location, which was perfect for taking the "T" to explore all of Boston.

A great pleasure to stay in this clean, spacious, quiet apartment on a storied street in Boston. Fully stocked with linens and kitchen supplies. Repair to downstairs toilet needed and noted by owner. Her warm welcome and patience with our late arrival (due to heavy traffic) are much appreciated. Every reason to recommend.

The place to be in Boston!

The location, the home and the host were fantastic! Newbury street with its hustle & bustle, little shops and restaurants are just a block away. Do not miss La voile with its truly French cuisine or the salmon bagels at the thinking cup. After coming back in the evening from a long day out you can relax in the patio of the house and enjoy the serenity of the evening. In the morning get yourself some juice or coffee around the house or jog in the park that starts at your doorstep. Everything is near, museums, metro stations, Beacon hill, the freedom trail...We highly recommend!

Likes: Great location, able to walk to everything. Easy pick up/drop off with ride share cars. Owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. Dislikes: extremely loud. The alleyway behind the unit is extremely noisy at all hours, especially during the early morning hours with deliveries to the business that share the alley. The main bedroom is direct exposure to the alley.The "futon" in the description was changed prior to our arrival with a inflatable twin bed couch thing. Air mattresses are for camping, not 1 week stays.The owner lives in the unit full time, rents it out for events. We were there for the marathon. It was just different then our usual VRBO experience with all the closets full of clothes and family portraits everywhere.main bedroom double bed was like sleeping on the floor, extremely hard and uncomfortable. Cold - the old radiant heater system could not keep up with the low temperatures - 30's at night.....

Marathon

I very much loved the location for our day during the Boston marathon. I brought my parents Long and it was great to have an easy walk to the finish line for them. They also very much appreciated in the morning our host meeting us at the door when we arrived. It helped them feel at ease to be shown around the place. It also was a very quiet place and even though I had a pull out couch to sleep on, it was surprisingly comfortable. I only wish I would’ve brought my facemask as the windows didn’t have shades at night but it really wasn’t as much of a problem as I thought! Our host was always available I Phone if needed so we never felt there was a problem!

This was our first trip to Boston and we were so happy about our lodging! We knew from the pictures that the property was appealing, but we had no idea how superb the location would be. And our host, Therese, was fabulous.Property: absolutely gorgeous...a stately, beautifully maintained brownstone provided the perfect environment for cozy evenings at home. We had everything we needed for meal prep and entertainment. The property offered us a relaxed home away from home for our stay.Location: You have absolutely everything you need within 10 minutes walk. Trader Joe's, other groceries, Levain bakery, deli, churches, boutiques, high end shopping, subway....We enjoyed walking down Commonwealth Avenue to the public gardens. What an incredibly beautiful area the city has created and this brownstone sits right in the middle of it.Host: thank you, Therese, for meeting us there, welcoming us, giving us information about the area and being completely available for communications before and during our stay. You are a host with a great gift... making others feel welcome in your home. We appreciate you!

Like our own little slice of Boston for a few days

So happy I found this place! The location was great - Boston Public Garden and Boston Commons were a short stroll down the pretty promenade in the middle of the street, plenty of dining options, T station, and even a 7-Eleven close by. Very quiet at night, although things seemed to get an early start in the mornings. The lodging itself was quite comfortable. Much more flexible than staying in a hotel. We even rescheduled delivery of a meal prep box so we could cook a few times, instead of eating out every night. Therese, our host, was very pleasant, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I wish we could have heard the stories behind the pictures in her home. (but maybe that's just my own curiosity...) All in all, I would absolutely stay here again. I only wish it could accommodate two couples, since our next trip will likely be for four.

Great Back Bay location

This is a very nice apartment that occupies part of the ground level and the first level above ground. The front of the building is beautiful and bustling Commonwealth Ave., just a block off of the attractions of Newbury St. This apartment is in the back of the building, overlooking a classic Boston public alley that's absolutely silent at night. The apartment is as pictured here, larger than we expected, with everything you need -- full kitchen, washer/dryer, 1.5 baths, lots of seating, and a nice dining area in the bay window. There's access to either floor from outside. Once inside the apartment, there's a circular staircase that connects the two floors, which could be an issue for someone with limited mobility. There is a standard (non-circular) staircase that can get you to either floor, which requires going into the common area. The hostess was excellent, meeting us at check-in and showing us around, and was available by phone for the one minor issue we had (burned out bulb that left the bathroom dark, promptly remedied by me once she told me where the spare bulbs were). I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Boston for a week.

AMAZING LOCATION AND PROPERTY

This is a beautiful , old and historic townhouse (brownstone) in the heart of the Back Bay of Boston. It is located on Commonwealth Avenue..a few blocks from Boston Commons. You can walk just about everywhere....and it is a mere few blocks to a T station. Just 1 block away is Newbury Street...packed with coffee shops, great restaurants, as well as a lot of variety in shopping..to fit most budgets! Therese met us at the door, as promised. She did a quick tour of her home, pointing things out and explaining how to operate the TV, etc. She was responsive to our texts with our questions as to how to do this or that....A suggestion would be to have more detail in the "House Rules": how to turn on the power for the dishwasher, directions to operate the stove burners (the markings for HI, Med, simmer, etc. were worn off!! It worked, but a guessing game ! None of it a big deal...just save some questions for her. Also , Therese mentioned a few restaurants and grocery stores...which was great! However, it would have been really really helpful to have had the information written in the "House Rules" with names and addresses for a reference. STAR market is stellar!! A good walk away , but worth it. Trader Joes is nearby. There is a spiral staircase to the ground floor , which is the bedroom. It is narrow and steep...depending on your agility and width ....it could present a problem.
