Union Square House

In the middle of Union Square with tons of restaurants, music, bars and farmers market, yet on a small cul de sac with a private and comfy garden oasis. Best of all, steps to the new Train station to take you directly to all Boston has to offer.
We love our location and our home. Quirky yet comfy. Two floors of living with a full kitchen, new rain shower bathroom, and 3 bedrooms and a cozy living room.

A Boston Launchpad
Joe's place is v well-situated for exploring central Boston and its many tourist splendors. The T (subway) station is a 5-minute walk and then you have quick and easy access to all parts of the city. This newish train line extension makes Union Square feel like the Williamsburg/Brooklyn of Boston – a hip neighbourhood itself with superior travel options into the main parts of the center (which is perhaps why Union Square is now the hot neighbourhood for new restaurants in Boston). The house is a home, not a rental property, so it is full of charm and amenities. It will well-maintained and, while the internal stairways are steep, my young kids and not-so-young parents had minimal trouble navigating them thanks to the bannisters in place. Finally, the host is well-organized, informative, responsive and really friendly. A first-rate experience.

Great place to stay on Marathon Weekend!
We were in town for my husband and his 15th Boston Marathon. We are looking for something nice but reasonably priced. This property fit the bill. Communication with Joe was excellent. He responded quickly to every question. The entry code was supplied to us in a timely manner before check-in. For informational purposes only, the entire apartment is on the second floor. The main entry is private and enters a stairway leading up to it. Property is extremely clean and well maintained. The bathroom has been recently renovated and is very nice and updated. A blow dryer is included as well as various shampoos and conditioners. The kitchen has all major necessities including a drip coffee maker, a microwave, a gas stove, plates and utensils and cookware. The main floor bedroom with a queen size bed is a sufficient size although a tight squeeze for the bed. There is the narrow and very steep short stairway leading up to the top two bedrooms. There is no AC but two box fans are located in closets and were more than adequate for us to stay comfortable this time of year (April) Also, a large smart TV is in the main living area. It's only a 5 minute walk to the T station, which connects to all downtown rails. We very much enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend it should your travels bring you to Boston. *We realized there was a foam athletic roller sitting in the living area. I don't know if it is always there or added for us but that thoughtful gesture did not go unnoticed!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Plenty of room for our family of 5. Our kids loved the upstairs bedrooms and little backyard. Very close to shopping/dining and we loved the Maprang Bakery for breakfast! Walkable distance to Harvard & plenty of parks & playgrounds nearby. Owner was a fast communicator and accommodating to our requests. Cons: Would not be a good choice for visitors with mobility issues (steep stairs, beds are very low to the ground).

Not worth it - bare minimum on accommodations
We are normally staying in a hotel, but there were six of us and the VRBO seemed a better option. We stayed one of the two nights, opting to get a hotel for night two instead of staying. The apartment - on the second/third floor is fine. The bedroom we stayed in was not. The bed was jammed into the room so that only one person could touch the floor. There is an overwhelming pet odor. There is only parking for one car - maybe. No dishwasher or laundry, kind of standard in a short term rental. No live tv, only streaming on one smart tv in the living room.

Nice Neighborhood Location
Arrived early to the area. Owner accommodated storage of our luggage so we could jump start our visit to Boston. Home was close to several restaurants, convenience stores and other local businesses. We also used the “Blue Bike” rentals found nearby. Gave us a fun way to travel and visit Fenway Park. Lots of bike lanes throughout the area. We found Ride Share cars were easy to hire to get to further destinations. Walking was also an easy way to get around. We made walking trips to Harvard University and Bunker Hill area. Overall, we liked the location of this home for access to Boston, the host was great and the house accommodations were good for the 3 of us. Like many older homes, be ready to navigate some narrow steep stairs to access this home.

Excellent stay
Very clean and comfortable. Great backyard and very convenient to the CVS, Target, farmers market, Warehouse XI wedding venue and more. Communication was great. The bathroom is updated and very nice. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are very very steep—not a problem for our group but be aware if anyone in your group has mobility issues!

Great location, well equipped
The house is right around the corner from good restaurants and bars. It was well equipped with extra bedding, kitchen items and a visitor parking pass. The stairs are steep but we got comfortable using them after the first day. We turned on the ac's, lights, tv and fans, ended up blowing a fuse but the property manager was very responsive and it was an easy fix. The bed was too firm for me but the rest of the family slept fine. The neighborhood is peaceful and felt safe. It is very close to Union Square T station. Overall, great place to stay. I'd stay again

Fun neighborhood with lots of restaurants
We picked this house with plans to use the nearby subway station for a day trip into Boston, but with so many nearby restaurants and a great farmers market (on Saturday) there was no need. We walked to/from Harvard Square and visited lots of nice shops. Parking late on Friday was a little challenging but we found a spot. My “babies” are young adults so this wasn’t an issue, but the steepness of the steps up to the 3rd floor rooms would be tricky with littles. Thanks for a fun family weekend!
