A small one bedrooom basement of a brownstone in East Boston. Close to so much / and a great neighborhood. Safe. Friendly. Easy walk to everywhere. Amenities are light. Bring your own if staying longer than a night.

We had a wonderful stay in south end! The apartment was clean and well put together. We spent most of our time out of the unit so we cannot speak to the kitchen or living area as we were exploring, but the bed was comfortable and the outdoor living space was very enjoyable with a cup of coffee! The area was quiet and we did not ever bump in to anyone else coming or going. The local area was wonderful and we really enjoyed the Buttery for a quick breakfast and exploring shops nearby! Santo was a lovely host and very communicative when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again! The only thing to be aware of is the stairs to get down to the unit are a little steep but we found that to be a Boston thing but for anyone with bad knees it may be something to think about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Neighborhood & Attentive Host

We were in Boston for 5 nights so that I could run the marathon. The location of the apartment was so convenient. Everything were looking for was .5 miles away. We don't mind walking so there was no need for taxis/uber. There are several great restaurants just around the corner and downtown was an 20 min walk. There was never a time that we didn't feel safe on the nearby streets. There was also bike rentals right around the corner. The apartment itself is an older building. The apartment is in the basement so it can feel a little dark. Some of the doors stick and such. All things you would think of an older building. It had great character and was furnished nicely. If you are looking for five star luxury, this is not it but it was comfortable and had all the necessities. The bed was comfortable. If you are traveling with someone, you would want to know that person pretty well, because there is not a lot of privacy as it is a smaller space. The pictures accurately depict the apartment. The back porch was quaint. We did not use it much because it was a bit chilly. The heating and air worked well. The bathroom is small. Between that and the narrow stairs down to the apartment, I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility challenges. The host was great. We communicated quite a bit in the booking process and had a couple things come up during the trip that needed attention and we was very responsive and helpful. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Loved Our Stay - Great Location

Quick weekend stay to visit our college student. The apartment was exactly as listed: quiet, private, comfortable, clean, and walkable to everything we needed (restaurants, shops, & even Fenway). Loved the private back deck to enjoy the fall weather. Property owner was accommodating and responsive which is much appreciated. I plan to save this rental for future trips! Just a note: it is a basement apartment so there are steps but did not find them unreasonable. If have mobility issues, then reconsider.

Great location Apartment in Boston

The greatest thing about this apartment is its location to attractions in downtown Boston. Everything is a short one mile walk away. I am a walker so this worked out nicely for me and my boyfriend. To reiterate what many people have said in the reviews, the apartment is located in a basement level and the stairs are narrow. This is not a good place to rent for someone with mobility issues. Also, the towels that were provided were a little stained. They appeared clean but could use some bleach. The weirdest thing about the unit was the shower door that did not close all the way. This was only strange in that the toilet paper was in the open space so the water spray from the shower would sometimes hit the toilet paper. It is a small thing though because the rest of the unit was nice and clean. Again, the apartment was a great location!

It was okay

We liked the location and this place did the trick for our 5 night stay touristing Boston. The kitchen was nice and newer looking. Shower was nice with good pressure. Couldn't find an outlet in the bathroom which I thought was odd. The toilet wiggles like it's not connected to the floor, and the fan only worked for 3 seconds before shutting off. Towels are white and look old. I wouldn't recommend for anyone who gets around slowly or has any kind of injury/condition because you have to go down a flight of very narrow stairs to get to the place. It was just a little wider than my suitcase so that was a struggle for me. The inside apartment door is hard to close and must be pulled/pushed hard by slamming it. The downstairs entryway outside your apartment door is a storage area, not pretty. When we arrive, the dishsoap was empty and ice tray all cracked and when I first contacted the host about it, he tried to brush it off saying the cleaning people were supposed to check all that and that he'd replace them when a guest wasn't there. I had to politely demand dish soap and new ice tray by day 2 so I could have these essentials during my stay and then he complied. I was looking forward to using the back porch/yard area but the glass table looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a month. It was gross and I didn't find any cleaning spray to wash it myself (nor should I have had to). If you plan to use the air mattress note that it will take up half your living room floor.

Nice flat great location

The apartment is very cute. Very well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. The location of the apartment was great for walking, walked to Whole Foods and all the way to Fenway Park for Dodger /Red Sox game. Also walked to the museum of fine arts Boston. Felt safe walking at all times. What I hope Santos will fix is the AC… we could not get the apartment cool at all. The AC ran constantly but I think it’s preset at a temperature that didn’t cool apartment or relieve us of the humidity. Very uncomfortable even at night with the back slider open. Fans could of helped. Also his towels need some TLC felt old and discolored.

Odor

It is a good price for Boston and an awesome location! BUT but the cat pee smell and the rude host caused low star review! Another guest mentioned an odor of Cat pee in the hallway. This odor is all over the apartment. If you are sensitive to smells this is not the unit for you. It gave me a headache. I attempted to notify host and he was so rude. I did not want money back just to notify him of the concern. The location is awesome. A/c was on a timer and would turn off in the middle of the night waking us up. The bathroom does have broken towel holders as mentioned in other reviews. Sheets and towels are warn and bed not my favorite but this kind of thing matches the price of the condo. Deadbolt does not work to apartment.

Close to PICCO which we ate at twice and was so good. There’s also a Cafe Nero right around the corner which is very tasty. The unit was very clean. The only negative is the stairwell to the unit smelled very strongly of cat pee. There is still carpet in that area so I guess that’s why. Very comfortable stay though!!

Great location but in need of some upkeep.

I lived in BOS for 15 years, no doubt an amazing location but the unit was in bad shape. Most towel bars were broken, when I opened the bathroom cabinet, the door feel off and the toilet wasn’t properly bolted down, which is extremely unnerving. There was shampoo but no conditioner or body soap. There was also one ice tray and the owner claimed he was unable to “keep up with hand towel demand,” which is absurd. Overall, the place needs some basic maintenance and if the owner put forth any effort to provide the “little extras,” I could look past the condition.
