We LOVED this brownstone!! It was the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. The neighborhood was just what we were looking for; charming, quiet, yet within walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. The host was very easy to communicate with. She was proactive during a construction project at another property. We appreciated the clear and open communication. The brownstone was easy to check-in, the internet was fast, and the property was very well appointed with bathroom and kitchen essentials. Thank you! We'd stay here again and hope to in the future!!

This is an adorable place to stay. It is fully equipped for 2 guests and Stephanie (the host) has thought of everything a guest could possibly need, including umbrellas! The location is quiet with surprisingly minimal street noise for a big city. Several excellent restaurants within walking distance.

First time in Boston
Super cute property with everything we needed.
Good location in South Boston; you can walk to many things and the rest are a short bus or train ride away.
Plenty of food and drink choices, we never ate at the same place twice.
History everywhere; we usually opt for guided tours but there are other options.
We rented a car, but parking is challenging, so if you can do without it I would. But we also did day trips to Plymouth and Rhode Island, so a car was good for that.
We thoroughly enjoyed the property and the city, great trip!!

Gorgeous and Perfect in every way
Absolutely spotless and extremely comfortable accomodations, felt like we were staying at a spa. Neighborhood was beautiful, so full of history and culture, so much to explore, we spent hours walking all over. Apartment had everything we needed and so many nice extra touches, the complimentary snacks were a godsend the first day we got in, as we were starving from our long flight and too exhausted to venture out that first night- Thank You! The apartment was decorated outside for Halloween and it was just perfect. Comfortable bed, no cons at all. Only problem we had was my own doing, should not have rented a car, no need, everything is easily accessible by train, bus or foot and parking in and around the city is expensive. Definitely plan to return, without car. Had an amazing time. Highly recommend
