About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Union Square was recently rated as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. Come see what it's all about.

Pleasant location!

I booked online and found the hosts communicative and the location very walkable. Restaurants, coffee, laundromat, drinks, nails and hair salons are all nearby. The contactless check-in was smooth, the parking pass and space out front easily sorted, and it was even pet friendly. There is a pet friendly green space a couple blocks over. If you don't mind a longer walk Harvard, museums, and downtown Boston are in the vicinity; I saw public bikes and other transport as well. I would certainly revisit some of the restaurants that I tried and there is plenty to do downtown. Their neighbor was even pleasant and briefly said hello. I didn't need to use the 3rd floor bedrooms and found the space very suitable; the stairs to 3rd were too steep for the pups to move up and down comfortably (they got curious, went up, and needed some help down). I did not use any outdoor space this trip. In any case, the location and walkability was my primary interest and it definitely delivered :) The hosts were wonderful about sorting out any questions and helped with check-in timing while remaining contactless. If you want walkable dining, free parking, and pet friendly accommodations then this booking may be for you.

Apartment was great for Union Square. Comfortable and well located with a great new bath. Steep, narrow stairs to 3rd floor bedrooms a small hurdle but our stay was without complaint otherwise. We were happy to find it.

Awesome location, lovely home

My family and I were in for a wedding and this turned out to be literally around the corner from the venue. The location was convenient, but also in a lovely part of town. The house itself is a mix of dated construction and modern upgrades. The bathroom, in particular, is quite comfortable. On the flip side, the stairs going up to the top floor bedrooms are very, very steep.

Great trip to Boston!

Property manager was great and helpful! We love that the property came with a parking pass and the location was great. Easy walking access to the T line and all Boston has to offer. The stairs were shallow, but that’s the nature of a house that size and layout. My kids loved their bedrooms.

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.
