This turned out to be an excellent choice for our trip to Boston. The home was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all that you might need to fix a simple breakfast or a full dinner. The neighborhood is charming in a location thats easily walkable to all things Boston and Charlestown. Raquelle was a wonderful host offering info about the area if you need it. We took her suggestion about news that the USS Constitution would be going out and we were not disappointed. Boston was bustling and it was so nice to come back to our quiet, comfortable place to relax after dinner. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area.

We have stayed at many rentals around the country and this property truly is a gem. The style and sophistication is special, and the space is impeccably clean. The neighborhood is quiet, quaint, and located down the street from the Bunker Hill Monument. Following the red brick Freedom Trail is an easy way to navigate the historic sites and is walkable from the property. This property worked well for our group of three adults, however just be aware that there is a steep set of stairs leading to the 2nd floor unit. We had no issues, but the owner seemed to be readily available and responsive. Overall we would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic

My mother and I absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was very clean, pretty, and fully stocked with everyday necessities. It's in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and is walkable to a few very good restaurants. It's also close to the Freedom trail. We were even able to walk downtown and the North end. Raquelle was a communicative, attentive and informative host. We really can't say enough good things about our stay, it was great and can't wait to come back!
