Boston feels
Beautiful home and would totally stay here again! Would suggest Uber or train for getting around. I would not rent a car for this location. Very tricky finding parking. Really great restaurants in walking distance and things to see and do! Sad we had to leave. The host was very helpful and very responsive with the parking situation.

Charlestown Getaway
Spacious accommodation. Kitchen and bathroom clean but upon arrival the dryer was stuffed with a large blanket and bath towels which were not dry. Dryer vent full of lint. I finished drying these items as we needed washer and dryer. we did not find the back bedroom bed comfortable. Only a mattress no box spring. No complaints about other bed. AC units seemed not at 100%. Opened up and filters were quite dirty. once cleaned much better air flow. Overall good experience and this is a great location

Perfect in many ways
This Victorian was indeed the perfect place to take in Charlestown, and all of Boston. The combination of being right near the Whole Foods, and having one of the nicest kitchen setups I've seen, made dining-in as enjoyable as dining out; the unit was well stocked, and everything was so easy to find. It was also nice to be close enough to walk down across the N Washington St bridge on the Freedom Train down into the North End for dinner, or head just behind the Whole Foods to pop into town on the Orange Line. But since I was in town to enjoy the architecture, my favorite part was having the pleasure of returning to a such a gracious old building at the end of the day, helping make me feel like part of the town.

Beautiful place in convenient location
We had a wonderful stay in this property in Charlestown! The apartment was very clean and comfortable and gorgeous. The window units were plenty to keep us cool. Location is fantastic - easy walking distance to both bus and T lines, and grocery store and restaurants. Easy access to downtown Boston. Would love to stay here again. Checkout was super easy too.

Spacious, beautiful stay for a graduation trip. Close to grocery store, wine store, Starbucks and an evening stroll up Bunker Hill. Only downside...an early heat wave before summer AC was installed. Thank goodness for fans!

Great neighborhood, beautiful space
Our stay was wonderful: great kitchen, comfortable beds and a sweet view of bunker hill monument out the back window. We had difficulty with the lock box at the beginning. The levers were sticky and the box got jammed but the problem was solved. Overall experience was great. We would stay there again! Thank you!

Amazing location in the main artery of Charlestown. Walking distance to Bunker Hill and great restaurants. The condo is beautiful and has all the amenities you need. Photos do not do it justice!

This home is more charming and elegant than advertised. Safe neighborhood. Parking on street was easier than expected. Only recommendation is to have full cable access for TV. Ladies wanted to watch Christmas movie. Food tip: Bova’s, north end, Salem Street. 🙂
