Great location and well-appointed accommodations

A group of 8 friends stayed for a long weekend. We loved the location and the place was super clean. We cooked a few meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Thankful for the early check-in option. We walked to many local sights and felt safe in the neighborhood. All the beds were comfy and there was a great assortment of blankets and pillows. Would definitely stay again!

Gem in Boston’s Chinatown

This is a fun, unique property easily walkable to all the tourist spots in Boston. We had a family of eight with kids ranging from 6-18. The kids really enjoyed the unique layout. Stairs take some getting used to but no problems at all for us. Everything was clean, clearly marked, and made good sense for guests. Host was very friendly and accessible. We had a great time!

40th Birthday

This property was perfect for a 40th birthday gathering over St Patrick’s weekend. Close to transportation to get around the city and explore, large enough for 8 adults to have space when needed. Kitchen was a good size to cook in for dinner one night and small breakfasts before heading out. The house was warm, especially if you slept on the 4th floor but there were fans to use. Definitely a historic house full of charm!

Central location

We enjoyed our time at this unit, centrally located for what our plans in Boston were. Please read the description about the stairs from the first through the fourth floor as they are not what you are used to in modern construction, and a relatively steep and narrow. People with mobility problems need to look for other accommodations. If I had one or two things to recommend to the owner, it would be to upgrade the electronics as far as televisions and Wi-Fi. Where there is both of those things now, a little more modern, and potentially bigger units would be expected for a rental at this rate.

Great Stay / Location / Communication

We had a great stay here in Boston. There was a group of us and we rented the entire place out for the weekend. The communication with the owner was quick and efficient. We were able to check in with no issues. A few of the mattresses could use a refresh. There was plenty of room. When we asked any questions, he was quick to respond and advise. We had a fun time and would return.

Great family vacation

We took a family group of 11 people ranging from age 11 to 71. The house was very roomy and gave us plenty of space for different groups to spread out. The stairs are a little bit of an issue but the description was very accurate in describing them. If you can handle the stairs, I recommend this place. The location is good with easy access to the subway. Nopsaran is very responsive to any need you might have and even let us change plans at the last minute and check in a day early.

Nice Location

It’s Chinatown. You have Whole Foods and CVS within walking distance for goods. It’s close to Orange Line (4 min walk) and green line (10 min walk). Take T to Fenway in 25 minutes or so. We hit all the highlights of the city from this location. Slept 8 comfortably. Beds could be more comfortable but not something I would give a negative review. I recommend this property.

Central & Spacious Stay

This old tenement/town home has been wonderfully kept. It's a very unique and historic building, but with modern amenities. It looks even better than the photos in our experience. All four floors have plenty of storage and living space. With 8 guests, we had more than enough space. We ended up having two beds be shared, as the foldouts weren't super comfortable, but the beds were. The kitchen is well stocked and that floor in particular is really fun for hanging out. The location couldn't be better. Five minutes to the nearest metro station (that will also take you direct from the airport). Walkable and close to stores and restaurants. Safe and clean neighborhood. Host was very communicative throughout the whole process. Couldn't have asked for a better trip!

Wonderful girls weekend in Boston

Nosparan was a wonderful host, quick to answer any questions. The home was very clean and fit our group of 9 very comfortably. There was plenty of space! We loved the character of the property and it’s location. We walked everywhere and took the T to North Station to spend the day in Salem Halloween weekend. Would highly recommend!

Unique and comfortable but need to be fit.

The property was as describe and clean. It was a great place to stay near downtown Boston. The four story building had very narrow and steep stairways so it was somewhat difficult for or guest that had limited mobility to fully utilize all 4 levels. This would be our only concern about staying here again as we loved the unique styling and structure of this older brick building.

As advertised, highly recommend

This place was perfect for my group. We had 8 adults from Philly visiting Boston for the weekend. Probably not best for families with kids under 5-6 yrs old due to several narrow turning staircases, but again, perfect spot and layout for our group. Plenty of room to spread out and everyone had their own place to sleep. Kitchen and hangout area on third floor was great, loved the dartboard. Location is easily walkable, only took Lyfts a few times. Was able to walk to downtown in ~25 mins. Plenty of good restaurants and places to grab drinks nearby and all along the walk towards downtown. Fenway was an 11 minute Lyft ride so it was easy to get there for one of their hourly tours. Owner was responsive and courteous. It was also very convenient to use his availabile parking space in the Tufts garage across the street. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a group of adults and/or families with not-so-young kids. I will definitely rent again if I ever end up taking another group trip to Boston! Thank you!
