An outstanding stay in Boston

Our family had a great experience. The location is perfect for a vibrant stay in the center of Boston. The property is well designed and has a great view from the rooftop deck. One of the best things was our host, Sue, who was communicative, friendly, and gave us just the right amount of attention. She was super easy to work with and just a pleasure to reach out to. The property is on a busy city street, so it took a little getting used to the noise on the first night, but after getting some earplugs, we had a really great night’s sleep. We would definitely stay here again.

NOW THIS IS BOSTON!!!

I Love this place. It is all about the privacy & the VIEWS! Both bedrooms have bay windows with city views, but the 2nd floor of this penthouse is a roof top refuge. Dinning alfresco is expected, & at night the Boston Skyline was our own private light show! Sue & David,(the Host's) were so accommodating, before I arrived, to the day I left. What I really loved was how they took an 1800yr old Brownstone left the history and character, but modernized it for comfort. Fantastic location walk to almost everything. I can't wait to go back!! Thank you Sue & David for giving me a memory I will never 4get!! FYI they have more properties then just this one.

Fantastic week in Boston!

We absolutely loved this apartment and would definitely stay again! It was spotlessly clean, stocked with everything we needed, and in a great location. We used it as a base while we moved our son into BU and it worked out perfectly. The T is just down the street, and Sue also let us use a parking space behind the building for a small fee, which was a huge help. All in all, we would highly recommend this apartment and we'll be back! Thank you Sue for your wonderful hospitality during our stay.

A neat week in Boston

Close to the T (about 2 minute walk to the orange line), we didn't need a car to get anywhere and that was a relief. Very open living space with kitchen/living room together. Unfortunately was too cold when we visited to take full advantage of the rooftop deck but we did get to use the BBQ one day and enjoy the sights briefly. Only drawback is city living (road noise) but plenty of support with blackout shades and earplugs. The host was very responsive to questions and our check-in process.Will definitely return when we are back in town.

Fell in love with Boston

Our family's first trip to Boston and we will definitely be back. We loved the close proximity to the T and how easy and clean the public transportation is. There were many wonderful restaurants within walking distance. We can't say enough about the views from the roof top deck. We had many lovely moments having coffee in the morning and a glass of wine before dinner with the stunning views of Boston around us. The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. Many thanks to the gracious hosts who were very helpful with restaurant recommendations and general info about Boston.

Sheer perfection!

Everything was literally perfect from the moment we arrived to check out! David and his wife were easy to communicate with and made everything so simple. The penthouse was clean, welcoming, super comfortable, spacious and stocked with just the right necessities to make it easy. From coffee to sugar to ziplocks—it’s the little things sometimes! And the location was phenomenal. Two T lines super close, small grocery store to beer/wine and coffee spots too. Typical city noise is to be expected but the ear plugs were another thoughtful touch. Excellent hosts. Made us feel just like family…

Beautiful apartment

Sue was extremely helpful and communicative. She was there to greet us and gave us a tour of the apartment. She stayed in contact and checked in regularly to make sure all of our needs were met. The apartment is great. It’s a wonderful location right in the heart of the Back Bay area. Easy walk to Boston Commons, Newbury St, and other popular areas. The rooftop view is absolutely gorgeous. The apartment was large, clean, and very comfortable. There was plenty of cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and bathroom toiletries to use. There is some noise as to be expected by being in a large city on a busy street, but we didn’t find the noise to be loud or disruptive inside the apartment. If that bothers you, they had white noise machines and earplugs in both rooms (we did not need either). They also have blackout shades to make the rooms very dark. You are a very quick walk to a nearby train station and also lots of good restaurants. If you’re interested in Northeastern or Boston University, it is very close to both of those schools. We loved it and would definitely stay there again! Sue was a fabulous host!

Our Boston Stay in the South End

We had a FABULOUS stay in the South end unit. Our place was clean and very beautiful, and our two host, Sue and David, were very helpful, welcoming and thoughtful. We arrived late, and we were greeted and helped with our bags, and David even helped us park, which I was nervous about coming in the dark, and being tired, etc. Also, creamer and coffee was also placed in the fridge for the morning, which I loved. What sold us in the end on booking the unit was the parking spot, which was right in the back of the unit. Sue also said they have a spot near Northeastern University when that spot is taken, which is also good. The other selling point is of course the roof deck. Wow ! I never knew you could see stars that close to a city ! Such a beautiful bonus ! My daughter and I were looking at colleges in the Boston area, and the location was great! We walked to the two schools we looked at, and afterwards did some shopping on Newbury street and enjoyed other sites in Boston. The orange line is within a minute walking distance as well. All in all I would book again. I would recommend Sue and David's place for sure.
