Stunning Home Mins to Boston w/Parking & Laundry
Our beautifully renovated 2BR condo is just 4 miles from downtown Boston. Enjoy Somerville’s own restaurants, cafés, and shops, or easily access public transit into Boston. Major universities including Tufts, MIT, and Harvard are all only a few miles away. This stylish second-floor retreat features a spacious kitchen, gas fireplace, in-unit laundry, and limited free parking. Hosted by HelmsBnB, it’s the perfect home base for exploring Boston while enjoying the comfort of a quiet neighborhood.
Welcome to your Somerville home base - our home was designed to provide a relaxing retreat after busy days exploring the city, visiting family, or traveling for work.
Less than 4 miles from downtown Boston, this second-floor condo offers easy access to public transportation, major highways, and some of the area’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Enjoy nearby local cafés, restaurants, and shops, or explore Davis Square and Union Square. Tufts University is 1 mile away, Harvard is 2.5 miles and MIT is 3 miles from the condo - ideal for graduations and school celebrations!
The space features a bright, open layout with modern finishes and comfortable furnishings throughout:
• King bedroom with dresser and ample storage • Queen bedroom with dresser • Full bathroom with custom tiled stand-up shower • Cozy living room with comfortable seating, gas fireplace, and Smart TV with YouTubeTV • Daybed with two twin beds for additional sleeping space • Spacious, fully stocked kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, drip coffee maker, and complimentary starter coffee setup • Kitchen island with seating for 3 • Dining table with seating for 6 • In-unit washer and dryer with starter laundry supplies
The large kitchen and dining area make this condo ideal for longer stays, families, professionals, or university visitors.
Parking is easy with one designated driveway space (two vehicles can fit if small), a rare and valuable amenity this close to Boston.
Whether you`re visiting Boston, Tufts, MIT, Harvard, or simply looking to enjoy Somerville’s incredible food and culture, this condo offers the perfect balance of comfort, location, and convenience.
We also have a 3 bed unit in the same building that sleeps 10, if you want more space to spread out.
You`ll have access to all parts of this condo! There are two other units in this multi condo home, one where I live and one other that is also rented. Your condo has a private entrance with no shared space.
Please note this unit is on the second floor, accessible only by a set of stairs.
An Uber or Lyft to the city is cheap and super quick (10-15 minutes depending on Boston traffic, of course). It is a 15-20 minute walk to the closest T stop. The 95 bus picks up at the end of our street every 30 minutes and is a 6 minute ride to the T station.
Please remember this is our home so treat it like you would a friend`s home and we will do our best to make you feel like you`re a friend staying with us!
We have installed exterior only security cameras for the safety of both guest and property. These cameras are actively recording both audio and video outside all entrances and side doors. Any tampering with cameras, including, but not limited to covering and otherwise disabling of these cameras are grounds for early termination of reservation with no refunds whatsoever.
Somerville is a vibrant city in itself and we are less than a mile from Medford, both have their own bars, restaurants, and historic sites that guests love! Of course, then the beautiful city of Boston is minutes away by car or public transportation. Our street is residential and quiet, but near a main street with convenient access to the highway.
We`re happy to help with suggestions, but we will never be overbearing.
Please note that any refunds made in accordance with our cancellation policy will be less any credit card fees.
While we strive to minimize guest disturbances, we regularly maintain our home and may conduct lawn care during reservations, particularly on weekdays or during longer stays.
Absolutely no smoking inside or near open exterior doors - there is a $250 fee if this is violated.

Absolutely Perfect!
This was our first time in Boston and we wanted something besides a hotel for our stay. This place was perfection! Perfectly located in a great neighborhood, there is a bus stop right on the corner outside the apartment and there is a transit stop about 20 min. walking distance as well. It felt like being in your own home right outside the city. Clean, great amenities with a full kitchen and great living room with a fireplace to relax in after walking around the city all day. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a cozy little place to stay while in Boston. We're already thinking about coming back and we will definitely be staying here again! Big shout out to the hosts for a great property!

Comfortable Stay
House was comfortable and clean. Well appointed. It poured rain during our visit and having a washer and dryer in the condo was a huge bonus. Host was responsive. I want to mention that there is a flight of stairs to climb to get into the condo. I missed that in the description but want to make future guests aware.

A Haven in Boston
Alyssa’s place is one of Boston’s gems! The home is practically what it looked like in the pictures plus more. Alyssa was so responsive and so accommodating. The home is so near to everything and we wished we could have planned to stay longer. I will check out the other places HelmsBNB offers but the Moreland home was our haven! Thanks Alyssa! I give this place 10/10 !
