The apartment was located in a fantastic neighbourhood of Boston and 2 min walking distance to tons of restaurants and coffee shops and 10 min walking distance to the aquarium, Quincy market and the trains.    I couldn't have asked for a better location.
<br/>
<br/>Jose our host was always responsive to enquiries and very friendly.

The place was great for visiting Boston for the first time, the trolley is roughly a block and half away so getting around was easy. Any time I go to Boston now I will most likely stay here as the neighborhood is fine to leave your car and travel the city.

It was great staying at the Carney house in Andrea's Private Bath room. The room was large enough for myself and my friend, the room was clean and comfortable. The Carney's were able to accommodate us by putting another fold out bed in the room, which was super nice of them. The neighborhood is very nice and the short walk to and from the subway entrance was pleasant even when returning late at night. Mary and Barney were very friendly and made sure we felt welcome, they went out of their way to make sure we had a great time and we did. I would certainly stay here again next time I'm visiting Boston. Thank you very much for the great stay!

This is an EXCELLENT place to stay if you're looking to be in Boston for any amount of time. I was staying the weekend for PAX EAST 2014, and this location is so convenient and affordable! I could have paid 900 dollars for hotels for 3 nights, but this was only a FRACTION of the cost!
<br/>
<br/>The house itself is BEAUTIFUL and spacious. The location is perfect. It's right around the block from the Fields Corner Red Line station. On the way, you'll see all sorts of restaurants and a quaint little park. The neighborhood is safe and secure. 
<br/>
<br/>The house is also clean, as Hermina has a personal assistant who stops by the house every day to work and make sure that things are in order. Top notch service! Even if you never see anybody else, you'll have directions for things posted all over the place. The space has access to a living room with cable tv, a full kitchen, with everything from a fridge to a rice cooker... it's just the best. 
<br/>
<br/>There's even a guest book near the front door. You can see that throughout the years Hermina has had literally hundreds of pleased visitors who were so thankful for her excellent hospitality. 
<br/>
<br/>Five stars aren't enough!

Michelle met me at the nearest underground. She was very interesting on the way up to the room. The place itself was very clean and comfortable. Michelle also baked some things for breakfast which were excellent! It was a very pleasant stay and I would highly recommend this listing.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We were travelling with our 13 month old son and Gerard and Marie's house was like a home from home for him. The hosts were very welcoming and provided us with great tips on things to do. The house is clean, beautifully decorated and the bed is very comfortable.  Great location too, friendly neighbourhood and shops, takeaway and restaurants nearby. It's also convenient to get into Boston. We chose an early morning stroll doing the freedom trail in reverse and got the T ferry back. Would definitely recommend.

My daughter and I stayed with Robert for three days, and had a perfect time! The house is so nicely decorated, and the bed was extremely comfortable! Robert was very friendly, interested and helpful. I will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the Boston area!

A beautiful building and an even nicer apartment. Although my friends and I only stayed the weekend it was a wonderful experience and I plan on staying here again in the future. With only a short walk to the red line you have practically all of Boston at your fingertips. All aspects of the stay were made clear and direct with the guide that was posted on the wall near the kitchen and checkout was easy and painless. I would much rather stay at one of Lance's locations than a hotel any day. The review with the 3 older women was absolutely comical and it was part of a running joke our whole stay.

Our stay was very very comfortable. The apartment is in a great location with quick access to most parts of Boston as well as having grocery and other stores very nearby.
<br/>
<br/>As mentioned by others below, the bathroom will simply spoil you, as you'll go home with some home-improvement ideas of your own.
<br/>
<br/>Though we couldn't meet Meri, she made sure that we had everything necessary.
<br/>Highly recommend staying here!

Lisa guided us to her house by phone and made us welcome from the moment we parked outside. The house was clean comfortable and ideally placed for easy access to the whole Boston area by public transport.
<br/>We will definitely try to stay with Lisa if we visit Boston again.

Kelly and Phil were wonderful hosts. We didn't need much assistance, but if you do they are happy to provide suggestions. The house is beautiful and just as pictured.  You have the entire third floor to yourself.  We were very comfortable especially when the day turned rainy and we stayed in just hanging out for a few hours - there are lots of games and a simple kitchenette.  The location is great...  Walking distance to tons of restaurants, shopping and the Arnold Arboretum.  Hub bike rentals are also very close by (and lots of fun!)  I highly recommend their home and would definitely stay here again!

Our visit to North End Boston was great.  Jose/Jason's Old North Parlor Flat was perfect.  Unlike others, we didn't find the apartment to be "too noisy" and didn't notice "paper thin walls".  Very convenient location, across the street from the Old North Church and close to all of the restaurants and activities on Hanover and Salem Streets.  Was actually nice NOT to have a TV for a change (at least for the one night stay !).  Check-in / Check-out was super easy.  This was our first AirBnB experience, and we look forward to using this site again !

House was as shown online, nice location for our needs and comfortable, so much better than a hotel.  Emmanuel was quick to respond to questions before we arrived and to our needs after we arrived.  This was our first time using Airbnb so we weren't sure what to expect, but will definitely explore this option again for our next trip.

We really enjoyed staying at Barney's and Mary's. Too bad we could only stay for one night. If we ever come back to the Boston area, we definitely know where to stay. We can only recommend this place. Nice, comfy and clean room and good breakfast. Thank you Mary and Barney!

Excellent stay. Full amenities provided. Place is kept in good condition and clean. Joe also provided us with breakfast for all whole stay and a bottle of wine to welcome us. He gave us a ride to and fro airport and also a drive thru of the town. Very easy to communicate with.

Chris and  Kristina's studio was perfect for our stay. It was very warm even if it was cold outside. They even allowed us to check in early. It was very near the T and the neighborhood is beautiful.

English follow.<br/>Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour! Le studio est bien situé et l'ambiance est chaleureuse. Nous étions près à pied de la "Freedom trail" et des principales attractions. Nous pouvions aller manger au Quincy Market ainsi qu'au petit café juste au coin de la rue. Nous avons aimé être dans le feu de l'action du quartier North end avec ses marchés et restos italiens. Finalement en arrivant du nord ( du Québec) on a pu stationner à 2 coins de rue du studio, juste à la sortie du pont!<br/>We really enjoyed our stay! The place is well located and the atmosphere is warm full. We were close to the freedom trail and all the main attractions by foot. We could easily go to the Quincy market for a good meal and there is a small café at the corner of the street. We also enjoyed to be in the action of the North End with his Italian restaurant and market. Finally, coming from the north, we could park at the exit of the bridge, just two corner from the studio.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Boston! Apartment is a great layout with the large common area on the top floor with a living room, dining room & kitchen, and the 2 bedrooms are downstairs which are very comfortable and quiet so we slept very well. The location is excellent, you can walk right downtown in less than 30 minutes or hop on the subway which is minutes away. Terry was a great host and made the stay very enjoyable. He left us tourist information and maps, and even a hand-drawn map of the area highlighting key amenities in the area! Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Boston, hope to stay here again.

the main asset of this apartment is its location. Located in the heart of The Italian district surrounded by restaurants and shops. 5 min walk from the metro it is perfect to visit the city.
<br/>The apartment is spacious and clean but several things are to improve: it lacks the curtains in the room, the seat of the toilet is broken, no TV, wifi very slow...
<br/>Point non-negligible: the apartment is located on the 3rd floor without elevator so not obvious with large luggage.

My friend and I took up both rooms for 8 nights and it was a very comfortable experience for us. We were there for work purposes and was busy most of the time, so she left us alone, but made sure we've got what we needed. It was my 1st time using Airbnb, and she took the time to explain how things works too. On the last day, I accidentally left some stuff at her place, and she even agrees to help mail it back!

The place was great, everything needed was there.  Super location, with a couple stores right around the corner to get all the 'personal' things (like coffee, milk, etc).  Had a wonderful stay - and the Hosts were awesome, just a quick, polite phone call away!!!

My fiance and I were in boston for one night and we stayed at Hermimas home. It was very clean and organized room. We had full use of the kitchen and washer/dryer. It was a full house but very enjoyable. We didn't get a chance to meet Hermina but her and the house manager were very helpful via phone with any questions we had. Would definitely stay there again!

Yes, it is a beautiful Victorian house...BUT...  I found it cold; both in temperature and ambiance. No personal contact with the owner. Conveniently located. It is near a train station.  BUT... I wouldn't choose to stay there again.

It was a wonderful experience to be at the Carney House. It is son nice to wake up in the morning and find Barney's muffins on the kitchen table with fresh coffee. The room was so nice, with a beautiful view, it is a much nicer experience then being at a hotel. Also the there is a metro station at a 10 min walk which is great to move around Boston.

Staying here was the perfect way for us to feel right at home in Boston. We really enjoyed the accommodations and appreciated Marie's cheerful welcome and willingness to help us. The full kitchen and comfortable living room allowed us to relax in the mornings and evenings when we were here. The apartment is located in charming residential Charlestown. It was a very comfortable walk to the North End, but is also easily accessible by public transportation.

We had a great stay at this studio, everything was clean and as pictured on the listing.  Awesome view of the water and nice location in the North End, easy to walk to lots of restaurants on Hanover street and many points along the Freedom Trail.  About a 10 min walk to the closest T station.  Paulo was quick about responding and Ralph (property manger you deal with during the stay) was great to work with as well.

The place is in a great location! Lots of Italian restaurants a block away.  Also, it is a walking distance to Irish bars and restaurants. The apartment in general is  mostly clean: there was some black hair in the  bath tub. The toilet seat was broken. The bed was comfortable though. I think the walls are pretty thin cause we were listening to Adele and using indoor voice, sorry not 'library' voice, and received a complaint of noise (we were on the top floor).

Great place, great location and Joe's a great host. Nice and talkative, ready to give tips about places to go and things to see, or share old stories of the Town.
<br/>Breakfast is waiting in the kitchen, as is fruit and a bottle a of wine. When Joe saw that I was cold, pretty stupid of a swede not to dress according to the weather but anyway, he lent me a nice sweater for the day.
<br/>Nothing to complain about really. Would look to see if it's available again our next time in Boston for sure.

Very clean and comfortable apartment, and the wall painting is really cute.  Christie is a very nice girl and seems glad to be a good host. We had a great time at her place. The apartment is at a convenient location. The bus stops of route 57 and 66 are right there within 100 meters, and the MBTA green line Harvard Avenue Station is within 7 mins walking distance. For tourists, you could take bus route 66 to Harvard Square to visit the beautiful Harvard University, or take MBTA green line to Park Street Station which is the start of the famous Boston Freedom Trail.

We recently stayed 4 nights and our accommodations were terrific.  Our hosts (A&L) were very friendly and helpful, the house was beautiful and immaculate, and the beds were super comfortable.  Our room even had it's own private bathroom, so you didn't feel like you were being too intrusive.  The neighborhood was very quiet and safe...just far enough from the hustle and bustle.  3 short blocks to the Bus Line and about 5 short blocks to the Subway made it very easy to get into the heart of the city.   
<br/>
<br/>When we come back to Boston, I won't even bother looking for another place to stay.  We'll just come back and stay with A&L again.  That's my highest recommendation!

This was our first airbnb experiencie and we loved it! Hilary's house makes you feel like if you are really at home. Hilary, Hazel and Aggie were super nice and warm, making us feel really comfortable. The bed was really good, the bathroom is awesome, and we loved the house! Specially the kitchen area which is so unique and filled with art. Jamaica Plains is a really nice neighborhood. The T station is only a few blocks away so you can easily walk there, and you have supermarkets, restaurants and a place to buy coffee in a walking distance. It would only take us about 15/20 minutes to get to Downtown Crossing, so for us it was actually pretty awesome! We definetely recommend it and will come back for sure in our next visit to Boston!!

Es war eine sehr gute Entscheidung, unsere Woche in Boston hier zu verbringen. Lisa (und John) waren wundervolle Gastgeber - immer hilfreich, wenn es um Tipps für die Ausflüge ging, und angenehm zurückhaltend, wenn man "seine Ruhe" wollte. Ein zwar kleines Gästezimmer, aber dafür viel Bewegungsfreiheit im geräumigen Haus - eigener Kühlschrank, eigener TV, nette Begrüßungsgaben, schnelles und zuverlässiges Internet, absolut nichts fehlte. Darum 5 Sterne und eine vorbehaltlose Empfehlung!
<br/>Absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you, Lisa and John!

What a great trip! Trying to stay anywhere in Boston during the marathon for a reasonable price seemed almost impossible. We found Hermine's place and she does not raise her prices sky high like most other places. This was perfect as anywhere else we would have had to spend it all on accommodation. rHermine was so helpful, when room situations changed she made sure it was ok with us, which it was. The house is beautiful and the room was perfect! She gave us easy to follow instructions to get from the airport. It's not a fancy part of town but as 2 females traveling together we never once felt unsafe, even at night. While we did not get to meet the owner, her property manager was available and helped us out. Highly recommend this house if you want a close but quiet place in an authentic Boston location.

Jose and Jason's apartment is located in a great neighborhood--the North End--that really feels like old Boston, with narrow winding streets and lots of Italian restaurants for dinner, coffee, and cannoli.  The bed is comfortable, the towels are fluffy, the water pressure is decent, and the apartment is pretty clean and well-stocked with plates, a french press, hair dryer, etc.  My only complaint: you can hear EVERYTHING in the downstairs apartment (like full conversations, sneezes).  Other than that, Jose and Jason were easy to communicate with and the apartment was easy to locate and access.

We were here for the Boston Marathon and stayed in JP. We had a great time at the house, and enjoyed the sun on the porch. The house was beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. We were able to have a nice gathering for the pre-race dinner with family and friends! Short walk to the T was so convenient! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Chris and Kristina's place is great! Very clean, everything was as promised, and Kristina was always there when we needed her with helpful tips for transit, restaurants and things to see (or avoid). We loved the area - Jamaica Plain is beautiful - it was very walkable and close to the orange line "T" station. We even walked to the Samuel Adams Brewery tour. I would definitely recommend this to a single person or couple looking for a nice place in Boston. We hope to stay there again if we're ever in the area!

Thank you Meri and Jeff!!!! You were such gracious and thoughtful hosts! We had a fabulous time in Boston! Your place is gorgeous! My husband, my parents and I were there for the marathon and were very comfortable. The neighborhood is fantastic and two blocks from the water and a nice little beach area. This was ideal for a little marathon recovery. 
<br/>Meri's restaurant recommendations were some of our favorites! Should I make it back to Boston I would love to stay here again. I would highly recommend this place to a friend!

Stayed in this 3BR apt during marathon weekend with my parents, coach and boyfriend. Kitchen is fully equipped and roomy, we were able to cook a few nights. A smoker lives downstairs unfortunately but Damon has an air purifier in every room, and you don't notice a smell at all. My boyfriend and I shared the bunk bed room. The full-size mattress on the bottom was very comfortable.
<br/>Didn't get to meet Damon in person but he was very easy to contact and we exchanged a few emails in advance.
<br/>Roslindale is a nice area- some good health food groceries, good restaurants. T is within walking distance. 
<br/>Bring your own shampoo/toiletries, FYI. Decent value.

We had the most amazing time staying in Sam's apartment. Without a doubt has to be the best location in Boston, central to everything and great for us tourists to see the city. Great apartment, with all the comforts required. And we couldn't have asked for more from Sam as our host. Answered any questions we had almost instantly and provided us with a list of recommendation's, that were so helpful and added to an already great experience. Absolutely recommend staying here, we loved it! Nick and Em.

We were in Boston for the marathon and Adriana and Gianni were very welcoming and accommodating to our travel plans. We highly recommend them as hosts. 
<br/>
<br/>The house was clean and comfortable and a fantastic place to stay. It was easy to take the train in town for race package pick-up and to the buses to the start line. There were also lots of great amenities a short walk away.

<br/>We will definitely stay again when we are in Boston!

Cute, very homey little house in Boston, comfortable beds, clean towels, pretty much everything you hope for in accommodations. Our hostess made us very welcome with a bottle of wine and fresh coffee beans from the area, but she was also extremely responsive when we had trouble with the lock. She was there in 5 minutes and set us up right.
<br/>
<br/>We were visiting someone in Cambridge during our stay, and at first we thought we would need to rent a car as it was so far, but actually with public transportation we never needed one. There's a bus stop around the corner, with busses every 5 minutes, that will take you to the metro station, and you're near the Boston Symphony in 20 minutes. Even coming home pretty late at nights, we never had any trouble. Pretty much any bus will take you from the station to Albano St.

My husband and I stayed here during our trip to Boston for the Marathon.  The studio was comfortable and fit our needs perfectly.  I used to live in Boston so I was familiar with the location and excited Laura made an exception for us to stay here during the marathon.  It's a great location with many restaurants nearby, walking distance to the Back Bay/Copley Square/Prudential Center and a quick cab ride to the North End or the Fort Point seaport area.
<br/>
<br/>Laura was honest and responsive in her communications.  We weren't able to meet her in person, but mailed the keys to us, responded to our needs from afar and sent us well wishes before the marathon.  
<br/>
<br/>Our stay was short, though we wish it could have been longer and would love to stay here again.  For those that do stay for a month or longer, I think you'll be very comfortable and enjoy the location.

Larry was a great host! So friendly and happy to help with a last minute reservation. His apartment is spacious and clean, with a great kitchen that we enjoyed using. His cats are adorable and pretty easy to take care of. The neighborhood around him is ideal for people wanting to see the city and explore without much need for public transportation or cars.

Once again, we had an amazing stay at Chris and Kelly's condo.  The condo itself is just spectacular.  Very comfortable and spacious.  Guidebooks and a very helpful letter were left to help make our stay more enjoyable.  The location, one block from Boston Common & right by 3 different T lines, made traveling around Boston easy.  We will certainly look to stay here again when we're in Boston!

This is a fantastic apt in a picture postcard area of Boston. I stayed here when I came to run the marathon and Joe couldn't have been any more accommodating... Bagels, juice, fruit and more were all left out for me for breakfast. He even gave me a lift to the train station a couple of days after the race when my legs were too stiff to walk properly. Top man.

I loved Paolo's apt.  It was a convenient ten minute walk to the Haymarket  T.  I felt very safe in the neighborhood.  It was very close to Hanover St.  where  there are numerous fantastic Italian restaurants. 
<br/>
<br/>The apartment was very clean  and had everything I needed.  A good sized fridge and freezer, coffee pot, microwave.  A nice little table to eat at and a beautiful view of the water.
<br/>
<br/>The bed was very comfortable and I slept well every night.  The couch was very comfortable too after a little sight seeing.
<br/>
<br/>Ralph, was very courteous and made sure everything was in order.  When I talked to him he always asked if I needed anything and if I did to just call.  He made me feel very welcome.  
<br/>
<br/>I will definitely stay here the next time I am in Boston!  It was great!

We had an extremely positive experience.  Caroline was very responsive via email and text with any questions, and made the process of securing the apartment easy and seamless.  The apartment was exactly what we needed and in the perfect location-close to everything in town!  I believe the pictures are representative of the apartment as well.  Beautiful place!  We will definitely be contacting Caroline next time we are in Boston!  Thank you for such a great experience!

I could not have asked for better hosts than Mary and Barney Carney in Savin Hill. So welcoming, accommodating and helpful in my short but memorable stay in Boston. Travelling alone to run the Boston Marathon, they made me and other guest 'singles' a part of their Easter and made us feel like family and indeed it felt like that to me by the end of the week. A beautifully presented room and bathroom in a lovely home made this a great experience. The location is superb and I will be telling all about it and I hope to see the Carney's again next year. Thank you, Barney and Mary!

This place is in a great location right by the Old North Church. There is a ton of restaurants and things to see nearby and is within walking distance of downtown.

Never stay in a hotel again!  Our experience in Charlestown with Marie and Gerard was a game changer for us.  We will forevermore seek out lodging through airbnb and try to avoid hotels altogether. The apartment was exactly as advertised and our hosts were helpful, friendly and gracious without being intrusive.  The neighborhood was beautiful and close to everything (that is if your not from Boston, as we found locals do not go anywhere further than ten minutes from home!).  We walked the Freedom Trail and used the T to get around town without a problem.  There's plenty to enjoy right in Charlestown too, including the Bunker Hill Monument, the USS Constitution Museum and great restaurants.  We used Uber to bring us to the apartment and grabbed a cab on Main St to get back.  We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Boston.

Hilary and her daughter Hazel are very welcoming and open-minded. The stay at their (indeed) sweet little house is well organized and Hilary provides you with a folder full of maps, and informations about Jamaica Plain and Boston.
<br/>It is easy to be comfortable in this warm-hearted atmosphere. Highly recommended for a relaxed stay in Boston...

We had a wonderful time at Jose's apartment! It's a very cosy place with an amazing neighbourhood...a lot of very good Italian restaurants around. The apartment is not very soundproof to the apartment on the upper floor, but that was no big deal. We did not meet Jose in person, everything was done via mail but we did not mind. We would stay at his place any time again.

Kristina's place was just perfect for our needs and we had a great stay. We had excellent pre-arrival communication with Kristina, a warm greeting upon arrival, and fantastic insider information about the area (including a map of Jamaica Plain that identified some of the shops and restaurants which was very helpful). The suite was perfect for us (3 adults) with a full and well-equipped kitchen that was separate from the sitting/sleeping area. The house is located on a quiet street in the heart of Jamaica Plain and is just a 5 minute walk to the bus stop (bus #39 that links into the Green Line subway and provides good access to Fenway/Backbay) or the Orange Line subway station (and was a quick 15 minute ride to the centre of downtown).  I would highly recommend this suite and definitely plan to return on our next trip to Boston.

Lovely apartment. Just the right size for us. All the amenities in the kitchen, which is always nice. Comfy beds,  (even the pull out sofa!!), plush towels, NICE pillows. Wireless internet is great - they have a laptop for guests to use which is super nice. VERY Convenient to T and Hubway bikes. Great ride from here along the tree-lined corridor to Franklin Park and Arboretum.

The apartment was very clean and neat and very suitable for a couple. Not that much of natural light but didn't bother as we spent the days mainly outside. The bathroom seemed new and the shower was great! Sound from an apartment upstairs were easily heard but didn't bother too much.
<br/>
<br/>North End neighborhood is beautiful and cosy and full of nice Italian restaurants, cafes and bars. 
<br/>
<br/>Overall, we enjoyed Boston and neighborhood very much. We would recommend the apartment for someone wishing to have nice base from where to get to know the city.

Samantha's apartment was perfect for my wife and I. This was our first time in Boston and the location is perfect. Your a few blocks from essentially everything (including transit!).

Another great airbnb experience.  We did not meet the hosts cos we were early - but were able to leave our bags while we ran to the TD Garden.  Bruins won!!!  
<br/>Charming location. Clean and neat.  And such a comfortable bed!   After exploring the city on foot....you almost don't want to get up from a quick nap - but the italian restaurants are calling!
<br/>As mentionned - there is a narrow walk-up (part of the charm) and the walls are pretty  hear-thru (might want to bring a pair of earplugs)! 
<br/>Would stay there again!!

Lisa (and John!) are simply the best hosts you could ask for. They are approachable, friendly, hip, and just like their house, full of life and character. They are always available for anything you need, but are also respectful and understanding if you want your space. We needed to extend our stay unexpectedly and Lisa welcomed us back without a moment's hesitation. The room is lovely and sunny, exactly what you need and the Toblerone, wine, and bottle of Pellegrino were an awesome bonus :) It was my first Air B&B experience and I could not speak more highly of these good-to-the-bones folks or the almighty Creamsicle!

I had such an amazing stay at this studio on Tremont. Laura was delightful, very attentive and accessible. We kept in touch often-- I was very well taken care of. The apartment itself has everything you would need when staying in Boston for an extended stay. Beautiful old building and architecture with all of the modern amenities. The location is the best part. Ideal location. Close to so many wonderful restaurants, and an easy walk to shopping on Boylston and downtown (where I was working). This place was a dream. I didn't want to leave!

We had a nice stay at Kelly and Phil’s place. The apartment is at the top floor of the house, it’s very clean and tidy and accurate to the description. The location is very good, close to public transportation, markets and plenty of nice restaurants. The hosts were very friendly, generous and helpful. We would definitely recommend Urban Oasis suite.

Me and my partner stayed in Hilary's place for 3 days and it was best home ever like real home for us. Hilary and her daughter Hazel are so awesome and welcoming and bright persons. 
<br/>The house are so cosy where everything is made with great love so we felt absolutely happy there. 
<br/>The district JP is one of the best district you can find in Boston - extremely beautiful and nice. The house situated near central street where is the bus stop (to downtown) and many wonderful places to eat and shops. Or the metro station is not far from there.
<br/>Definitely best experience with airbnb.

My husband and I had a very enjoyable and friendly ( thank you so much Donna!) overnight stay at Hermina's B&B . The location is brilliant for the subway system, the bed and room were big and comfortable, and the laundry room was a huge convenience! It is located outside of the main downtown area but the subway system is fast ( less than 5 minutes into downtown ) and the B&B is in a handy location for basic ( grocery, banks , Dunkin' Donuts ) items.  We would definitely stay there again, and loved the relaxed atmosphere ( thank you again, Donna :-D)

Die kleine liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnung  (für 2 Personen völlig ausreichend), mit eigenem Bad und Küchenzeile war für uns der ideale Ausgangspunkt um Boston zu erkunden. Die Wohnung im Dachgeschoß ist über das seperate Treppenhaus erreichbar. Die wenigen Minuten zur U Bahn, der gegenüber liegende Bioladen mit stets frischem und vielfältigen Kaffeeausschank und sehr leckerem Baguette, die kleinen Lebensmittelgeschäfte und Restaurants,  die zu Fuß leicht erreichbar sind, machen Jamaica Plain mit seinen typischen Holzhäusern zu einem attraktiven freundlichen Viertel. Abends mussten wir teilweise zweimal um den Block fahren, um unser Auto parken zu können, für die Stadt braucht man kein Auto.

Warm, clean, spacious and (if you want to be in the North End) very conveniently located a few paces from North Church. The shower is great, there's a kitchenette with a microwave, china and utensils and there's a table to work at. The property is in an alley with little natural light so you'll not want to stay in all day. The room overhead is just a floorboard away so you'll hear everything from whoever is there.
<br/>
<br/>Overall, I loved it and would stay again.

This was such a great little place. Comfortable digs, easy to get around town. Marie was super accomodating of our little last-minute stowaway (our 4 year old, who wasn't originally going to come with us), by offering up a twin-sized inflatable mattress in case we needed it, but didn't end up because the queen-sized pull out was big enough for our 3 boys. Just wonderful and would definitely recommend :)

We've spent 2 nights at Molly's and Nik's and had a wonderful time there ! They both have been the sweetest hosts and kindly waited for us even though our bus got stuck in the traffic and arrived more than an hour late !
<br/>The room is very nice and comfortable and Nik and Molly provided us with everything we needed, including towels, a map and even an umbrella !
<br/>Their home is lovely and they both really took great care of us, even leaving what we needed for breakfast on the table :)
<br/>What's more, we enjoyed Jamaica Plains, it's a really nice and lively place, with lots of restaurants and artist galleries, and it's only 15 minutes away from Boston (with the T line). Thanks to Nik's and Molly's advice, we ate in good restaurants and had the chance to taste the best ice-cream !
<br/>If you want to visit Boston and need a place where you can feel like home, Molly's and Nik's is THE place :)

We had a very pleasant stay in Janet's place. We actually stayed in a different appartement (due to a last minute problem, the studio listed wasn't available and Janet offered us to stay in another studio she reserves for her guests). The studio was in the same building and we found it  even cozier that the one we see in the pictures. All in all, we were very satisfied with the solution and we appreciated Janet's reliability. Janet provided us with everything we might need during our stay.
<br/>
<br/>The appartement is situated in a lovely street in the most charming neighborhood in Boston, Beacon hill. The building is in a little street with almost no traffic so there is no noise during the night (or during the day). It is an extremely convenient location: next to the park of commons (perfect for a morning run), the subway red line is a few blocks away and all the interesting areas can be reached by walking (we just took the metro twice during our stay). There are bars, coffee-shops, supermarkets, restaurants... just round the corner.
<br/>
<br/>Arriving to he apartment was easy, just as it was checking-in and -out . Janet was waiting for us at our arrival and she made sure we had everything we needed. She even reserved us little surprises (chocolates hidden in the room) and provided us with maps and guides of the city.
<br/>
<br/>I would definitely try to stay here again if I had the chance.

Location, location!  This cute little flat is smack dab in the middle of North End.  10minutes'   walk from hay market station.  The bedroom is quite spacious hand the sofa is good for a second bed.  The flat is up two steep and narrow flights of stairs, and there is no TV.  Jose got us  extra sheets and extra pots and pans so we could cook a meal. And he made another trip with extra keys so we could go out separately

This is a spacious, spotless, well-appointed and very comfortable house in an excellent neighbourhood. There were only two of us so we only used one bedroom but we both found the bed superbly comfortable. It was also great to have that nice desk - and as I have a bad back I especially appreciated the adjustable office chair . Emmanuel is a helpful, responsive but totally non-intrusive landlord. I can definitely recommend this accommodation.

4 of us stayed here for a reunion weekend in early May.  The apartment was very easy to find and very convenient for the airport (we arrived late Friday evening).  It's a nice, comfy apartment, decent bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen and lots of games & magazines in the living room for the odd rainy day.  It's very well-located, we had no trouble walking to most of the things we wanted to see, and the local grocery store was very handy indeed.  It's also in a quiet part of the city, so no traffic noise to keep you awake.
<br/>
<br/>Although we didn't meet Trisha, she was really kind and helpful, and made sure that our late check-in and check-out were completely stress-free.  She provided loads of useful information and it was a pleasure to deal with her.
<br/>
<br/>Definitely recommend this apartment for a visit to Boston.

We had such an enjoyable stay in Boston. Our base in the north end was central to it. The flat was clean, warm, wonderful bed, with the softest bedding. The flat is a large studio. The entry is very well lit at night. The neighbourhood is quiet. You can hear neighbours upstairs when they come home at night, but they settle down quickly and you will not be disturbed. <br/>Such an ideal location! Steps to the Old North Church. A multitude of great Italian food in the north end and also an easy walk to both Haymarket station and North Station. Quincy Market and Fanieul Hall are near by too. I can really recommend Lil Italy for coffee across the street.<br/>If we are ever lucky enough to come back to Boston, we will definitely check availability of this flat! <br/>Thank you

Joe was really welcoming and provided lots of useful info, including use of Boston guidebooks, one of which we managed to lose (but replaced with a new one) so others can enjoy. The neighbourhood is really nice and it was good being a little away from the centre of Boston and you are right at the start of the Freedom Trail. We chose to do lots of walking but you could have easily got the T. The apartment has everything you need, including a powerful shower and a whistling kettle!

My parents and I stayed at Paolo's place during our visit to Boston. From the onset, Paolo was a helpful, gracious and understanding host and though I wasn't able to meet him personally as he was overseas, Paolo directed me to contact Ralph who passed me the keys to the apartment. Ralph was also very helpful and friendly.<br/>The apartment is wonderful and the view in particular, is simply breathtaking. Moreover, Paolo's apartment is very conveniently located and easily accessible to the T, Hanover Street and Quincy Market. Overall, my parents and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paolo's beautiful apartment. It was a fantastic experience.

We rented the apartment for 10 days as a group of 8 university students. The house is charming, clean and well equipped. Although it is located in Jamaica Plain (greater Boston) you can be in in the city centre within 30 minutes including the walk to the subway station. There isa 7Eleven right next to the house as well as a CVS pharmacy and a few restaurants. I would definitely recommend if you want to stay in Boston.

This room with a king-sized bed is perfect for one person! The big sofa and the shelf also made the room more comfortable. Michelle changed a desk for me because I have to do some studying during my stay. She is definitely the one who take her guest's needs seriously and try her best to help! 
<br/>The kitchen, restroom and the living room are so clean and lovely, especially the kitchen, which is equipped with almost everything for cooking. Sometimes there might be a plate of cakes or muffins on the table baked by Michelle, or you might be invited to a potluck with other roommates, eating, talking and laughing together! 
<br/>Michelle is no doubt a super host! She not only takes care of her guests, but give suggestions on your trip in Boston. She has told me many stories about the neighborhoods, the places to enjoy a meal and even some interesting spots around Boston, such as Rockport and Salem. My 2-month life in Boston wouldn't have been so wonderful without staying here!

Michelle is a wonderful host and I love her place so much. It is close to Metro(15mins walk) and great for doctors/medical students who work in the Boston Medical Center(20 mins walk). It is safe and lovely neighborhood. I enjoyed my walk to the hospital everyday. Also Michelle is the best baker in the world and she shares! There are many funny things to do in her b&b and you can get all the information about traveling and enjoying Boston from a local view. If you prefer just being relaxed Michelle's house offer you a place as cozy as home. Long story short, I had a wonderful two months stay in her house and you can only know how good it is by checking it out yourself!

The neighborhood was very nice,quiet and had adequate parking with no permit required as is common in most Boston neighborhoods. We were only a few blocks from the T station with a great neighborhood spot to grab a coffee on the way.

This was such a wonderful spot. Maria has the perfect attributes of a host: welcoming, warm, informative and relaxed. The apartment is just perfect, it is indeed, a treetop haven. Fully equipped, birds singing in the morning, cosiest of beds and all the information you need at your fingertips in a handy folder compiled by Maria. I fell in immediately in love with the neighbourly neighbourhood of Jamaican Plains; Maria is right- it is a little village itself. Everything you need and more: lush food, smiley people, superb ice cream (I opted for FOMU rather than JP Licks for their coconut and almond based creams), stunning houses, yoga and a serene pond surrounded by greenery.
<br/>Thank you, Maria. I will be straight back here when I return to Boston. x x x

We stayed in Terry's 2-bedroom apartment from May 16-19, 2014. There was plenty of room in the two full bedrooms for 2 couples to stay in comfort. The apartment is decorated very tastefully and we especially appreciated the fine quality towels in the bathroom, a detail not always found in airbnb properties.  The kitchen was nicely stocked with cutlery, pots and pans, spices and a great coffee maker that kept coffee hot for what seemed like hours. <br/>We found the location to be very quiet at night and slept so soundly. Shopping is nearby and handy with Terry's guidebook and his own personal recommendations for restaurants. He was there to greet us and show us around the place. Tremont street is very near to the suite and it has all you need.  There are a few homeless on the nearby streets looking for handouts but we never felt threatened or unsure of our safety. <br/>All in all a great value in an easy location with access to the "T" (Boston's underground) just 5 min walk away. Thanks for making our first stay in Boston so memorable Terry, we hope to be back soon.  Robbert, Dawn, Henry and Jo

Thomas was very nice and helpful before and during our visit.  As there is only one guest bedroom and Thomas works days, we basically had a private residence.  For the excellent price, the accommodations were as expected, not high end but comfortable.  The king bed was quite comfortable.  Internet access was slow and no TV is provided.  The dog was a non-issue, well behaved and not intrusive.  Street parking worked well for us, but felt lucky to find a convenient place each time.

We had a lovely time at Robert's place in Jamaica Plain. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean, the rest of the house was nicely furnished and comfortable, and the pleasant backyard was a charming, quiet plus where I spent some downtime reading and relaxing. The neighborhood is great with a bunch of restaurant choices. I remember that years ago it was considered edgy but those days are gone, as far as I could see. The T station (subway) is literally 5 minutes away and is the best way to get around in my opinion. We got everywhere from Harvard to the Museum of Fine Arts to Dorchester with some easy transferring. I would recommend without reservation. Also, Rocco is a really sweet dog.

We had a great stay here. The apartment was clean and tidy and well appointed, without being luxurious. If you want a clean place to sleep and hang out after a day of sightseeing this place is just fine. 
<br/>The neighbourhood is lovely, we loved being in the North End, so much good food and interesting things to see. We walked everywhere from the apartment, into the city, and over to the USS Constitution etc. It is walking distance to most places if you are reasonably healthy and able bodied, but if not maybe consider staying in the centre of the city, or get cabs. There is also an Old Town Trolley tour stop near the apartment if you want to do some sightseeing. We got a two day pass and also used this as a way to get around.
<br/>The views from the apartment are also pretty nice, over a sports field to the water.
<br/>It was reasonably quiet here too, slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in the North End, but still close enough to enjoy it all.
<br/>Overall we had a great stay, loved Boston, loved the North End and were happy with our choice to stay here.

This is a beautiful house. Very lovely and clean. Everything we needed was at hands. Also it's really close to the redline train. A perfect place for staying at Boston. We didn't get a chance to meet Hermina and Donna. But they were always approachable.

This was a great place to stay! It was on the top floor of a house with its own private entrance, and it was very quiet and well equipped.  The location was absolutely fantastic - walking distance to shops and the Stony Brook T station.  I was traveling by myself, and I felt entirely comfortable walking around the neighborhood after dark.  I also rented a car during my stay and was able to find street parking within about a block of the house.  I would absolutely stay here again!

Notre séjour chez Hilary a été très agréable, la maison est propre, située dans un quartier charmant et disposant d'un accès facile aux transports en commun (Métro / Bus). 
<br/>La chambre est de taille correcte, confortable et avec vue sur un petit jardin. S'il fallait mentionner un seul petit défaut, nous parlerions des grincements du lit, qui peuvent s'avérer gênant pour les personnes ayant un sommeil léger (ce qui n'était pas notre cas).
<br/>Nous tenons à remercier chaleureusement Hilary pour tous les précieux conseils fournis sur Boston et ses alentours!

Michelle is a wonderful hostess. She met me at the nearest subway station when I arrived and told me interesting stories about the neighbourhood while we walked back to the house. The room was nice and the bed had the fluffiest comforter ever (loved it). It wasn't possible to lock the door to the room, but I felt totally safe leaving my things there when leaving the house. 
<br/>
<br/>It's an old but charming house in a friendly neighbourhood. It has a good vibe and I enjoyed the company of the other guests. Michelle came down for a chitchat every day and brought us a lot of home-baked goodies - she even made gluten- and dairy-free muffins for me since I couldn't eat any of the "normal" treats (allergies). I really appreciate that! 
<br/>
<br/>This was my first airbnb experience and I couldn't have had a better one. I recommend this place!

We had the pleasure to stay at Lisa’s wonderful home for a couple of days. We absolutely loved the area! Jamaica Plains has a different vibe than the other places in Boston we’ve been, it’s very relaxed and very, very green! The arboretum (very close) must be the prettiest park in Boston (or the country). Lisa’s house has a big garden, and surrounding houses as well. Looking out the window it almost seems you’re somewhere in the countryside. I had to work a bit, which I did at a nice coffee place nearby, or on the couch on the porch. There’s plenty of nice restaurants, stores, bakeries, etc. nearby, Lisa has tons of good suggestions. The hat-store is absolutely amazing! Lisa herself is very kind, helpful and just a wonderful host. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is the water pressure on the shower. We can highly recommend staying at her place.

Michelle is a delightful host!  Perfectly welcoming, accommodating, and attentive to every detail of my comfort, safety and convenience.  Her House is charming, and her on-going improvements do not interfere with the comfort of her guests, and promise new delights for future visits.  The neighborhood is fun and funky and Michelle is a known and well-liked personage in the community which makes guests feel recognized and safe by association.  I look forward to my next visit to Boston and will definitely return.

Very nice place.  Great charm.  Neat and well furnished.  Only blocks away from Fanuel hall and the harbour.  Lots of good restaurants in the area including one Italian place two buildings away.  I definitely recommend it.

<br/>The hosts were very accommodating when I needed an extra day.
<br/>
<br/>One word of caution, there is no street parking to speak of.  There is a public lot a very short walk away.  $15 for 10 hours. $30 for the day.

She will even walk you from the nearest T station to her house and back again to make sure you will find your way. The neighborhood is quit calm and downtown Boston is conveniently accessible with the orange line.

Our stay at the Carney BNB was very nice.  It was very convenient to the Red Line and most importantly, to our daughters apt.  Also, the house is located so that you get a pretty view of the water and at the end of the yard you can walk to the park and the little beach.
<br/>
<br/>Did not see much of the hosts but we were very busy and out most of the time.  They were helpful and were very nice to contact us that we left a shirt behind. They held it for us to pick it up on our return to Boston 3 days later.  Very nice place.

I stayed at Adriana & Gianni's place for 4 nights during the weekend of my medical school graduation with my mom and sister, and it was a great experience! The place is absolutely gorgeous, and in a neighborhood of Boston that I was familiar with since I have friends who live nearby. It was a short walk to the Orange line, which is easy access to tourist attractions, and also walking distance to many great restaurants. We had everything we needed and Adriana & Gianni were excellent hosts. It was great that they were next door in case we needed anything! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again whenever I return to Boston!

Sam was an exceptional host! Her apartment was as described and perfect for my trip to Boston. Just blocks from Boston Common, Beacon Hill is an awesome neighborhood filled with charm and history.
<br/>
<br/>My flight into Boston was delayed out of Chicago and Sam was courteous enough to wait for my late arrival and helped with transportation and directions to her apartment. Being my first time to the city I didn't really know much about Boston, Sam was very helpful in pointing out some local restaurants and pubs. Her apartment was clean, comfortable and perfect. I couldn't have asked for better accommodation.

7 members of our family rented the house for 6 days.  Everyone was comfortable in their rooms. All the bathrooms have been updated.The master bath is amazing with a huge shower and a separate jacuzzi.
<br/> My husband and I stayed in the bedroom right at the top of the stairs and the bed was very comfortable.  Liked that there were hangers available for our clothes.  We did not find there was enough light for reading in bed.  
<br/>All in all the house is very spacious with lots of seating.  Had good weather so got to enjoy the deck as well.  The kitchen is well equipped for those who wish to cook.  The location of the house is also near the main drag of Jamaica Plain and makes for a nice walk.  Several parks in the area also are lovely.

As a first time airbnb user I must say I was a little nervous about using the system.  Thanks to Marie and Gerard, the process couldn't have worked any better.

Your directions from the airport and the info in the welcome letter were very helpful.  What else can I say,  Gerard and Marie are just super nice people.  If I ever travel to Boston in the future,  I would definitely stay there again.  Thanks,  Rick

The apartment was gorgeous, with beautiful antiques and beautiful artifacts from all over the world. The apartment has clearly been updated with a great shower/jacuzzi tub (how many of those can you find in an apartment in Boston?) with all the utilities our hearts desired. We were also in a great place in town, walking distance from beacon hill and the T stops as well as Whole Foods and the Commons. It was such an enjoyable apartment that we found ourselves taking pictures of each other in it, as a great remembrance of our time in the city. The host was communicative, gracious and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wi definitely stay here again when in Boston.

We had a great stay in Boston and in this house! Fiona was a very thoughtful and considerate host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She left plenty of information, an extra key, wine, subway cards and even offered to pick my sister up from the airport since she was available. She was very easy to communicate with and always replied quickly to emails. We were all very impressed with her as a host and her beautiful home that we stayed in. The house is very comfortable and clean and we found that it was easy to get around from this location. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others!

We had a very pleasant stay in Hilary's lovely house.
<br/>The room is not very big but cosy and clean, just like the bathroom we shared.
<br/>The neighborhood is fantastic: historic houses in various sizes and colours, with nice restaurants, shops and café's within walking distance . Spring Avenue itself is peaceful: no noise!!!
<br/>Hilary and her daughter Heather are easygoing and very friendly.
<br/>It was a pity that we had a full program during our stay: would have liked to talk to them over a glass of wine or a cup of tea......maybe next time if we come to Boston.
<br/>If so, we will certainly stay in Hilary's sweet little house again!!!!

This Victorian row house has been meticulously restored and suited our purpose--which was a quiet family dinner for our graduating Tufts DMD--very well. The host was receptive to suggestions for smoother maneuvering around the home for future guests, and an atypical glitch with the elevator at the start should not be a problem for future guests.  Do allow time to "move-in" and "move-out" though, as the elevator has limited space. A parking space was a plus. 
<br/>
<br/>This is a very special residence for that special event, one that deserves a high level of respect in return. Do thoroughly discuss expectations in advance, and you should be good to go.

The apartment is as pictured, nothing too fancy, but the location can't be beat!  Jose was very responsive and we had no major issues.  Yes, you can hear others in the apartments above you (mainly just walking around), but it wasn't anything too major.  We took advantage of all the great restaurants around us..Cozy Corner for breakfast, Pizzeria Regina for great pizza and Al Dente for a dinner with huge portions, plus Mike's Pastries and Bova's Pasteries.  Very convenient for using public transportations, often we were able to just walk to our destination due to the great location!

We had a great experience staying here for a few days after a family wedding. The location in Charlestown was fantastic - a quiet residential street close to everything we wanted to see. We were able to walk everything very easily. The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable. The TV, wi-fi, coffee maker, hot water, etc. all worked fine. We could hear people walking and talking upstairs during the day, but not to the point where it bothered us. I think that is to be expected anywhere in the city. It's different than a hotel, but not bad. Joe was an excellent host and was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

My stay at Rosalia’s was wonderful.  She was very prompt to reply to my initial accommodation request and provided assistance throughout my stay.  Public transport is nearby or if you prefer, a 20-30 minute walk into the city.  Bunker Hill Monument is 5 minutes away...  a fantastic view of Boston, but its 294 steps up, phew!.  From here you can follow  the Freedom Trail in and around the city. The bed was super comfy - great, after a day of walking around Boston. Wifi was fast, neighbourhood, safe.  Rosalia is the perfect host - enthusiastic about her city, welcoming and generous with her warmth and friendship. Blackjack, her pet rabbit, is gorgeous.   Highly recommended.

It was fun having a chat or two using words in Italian,  Portuguese, French and English all mixed up. Rocco, the dog, is a peaceful,  good boy. We had a bathroom all for ourselves and sharing the kitchen with Robert was never a problem.
<br/>We were the problem, as a matter of fact, always cooking full meals! For all the rest we cannot but confirm what the other guests have written in their reports.

Terry was an excellent host responding promptly to all enquiries before and after our booking.  We actually only met him very briefly during our stay as we were out a lot. 
<br/>
<br/>The fact that we only met him this once is a testament to the effective arrangements he has in place for checking in and checking out. Also, we found everything in the apartment was in working order therefore there was no need to trouble him.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment was as described in the listing and in excellent shape with clear instructions on various matters. Strong Wi-Fi signal was available.
<br/>
<br/>The neighborhood was fine. It was fairly quiet and we always felt safe. The Roxbury Crossing ‘T’ station is a short 4 to 5 minute walk away and with trains every 10 minutes or so you are downtown in no time at all (10 minute ride to Downtown Crossing). 
<br/>
<br/>If you are staying for more than a couple of days an $18 MBTA weekly pass is excellent value as it includes trains, buses and the inner harbor water taxi. It is also very easy to travel to/from the airport using the ‘T’ (approx. 40 min) saving on expensive taxis/ shuttles.
<br/>
<br/>Cannot comment on local shopping, as we tended to bring in groceries from the excellent Wholefoods Market in downtown Boston.
<br/>
<br/>We had a great time in Boston and if we return to the city we would be delighted to stay at Terry’s place again.

Very quiet building and street.  Close to Hanover St and lots of great places to eat.

We were very pleased with our stay at Kristina's. This was our first AirBnB experience and we are pleased to report it was as expected, if not better. The room is large and spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and cable tv - can't complain at all! The apartment is in a great neighbourhood, very quiet and close to some great restaurants (Tres Gatos is a brilliant little tapas bar within 5minute walk; Canary Square and equally good SportsBar/ restaurant just across from Tres Gatos). I would highly recommend staying here as we love the fact it is within 10-15mins of downtown, but without the noise/chaos of staying in the heart of the city). Kristina is a great host and made us feel at home. No complaints, great value for a long weekend in the city!

Larry was a wonderful and attentive host. He made sure that my boyfriend and I were settled and checked in to see how we were doing during our stay. So nice. And the apartment is absolutely gorgeous. It's located in a spectacular part of Beacon Hill which is just a jaw-droppingly beautiful. The apartment is spacious and clean and has stunning detailing. It's extremely comfortable and lovely. However, the place wouldn't be the same without it's primary tenants, Remus and Romulus (the two cats). They are the funniest and sweetest duo. I will miss them! Mary, the neighbor was a delight and so extremely helpful if we had any questions and concerns. I can't say enough good things! I'd definitely without a doubt stay there again.

Chris and Kelly's place was beyond amazing!!  Not only was the place beautiful, Chris and Kelly were the nicest, most accommodating hosts!  Chris took the time to answer all my questions before booking, and even gave me great restaurant recommendations in the area.  Kelly kindly met us and gave us a quick run down/tour of the apartment  when we got there.  She was SO chill and not nervous or crazy about leaving her apartment to us for the weekend. They wanted to make sure that we were all settled in, and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.  Even though they were in a place with bad cell service for the weekend, Chris and Kelly made sure that there was a way we could get through to them if we needed anything!

As others have mentioned, the noise in the hallway and upstairs is pretty noticeable but it's certainly not something that would cause me not to stay there again. I highly recommend this place and hope it's available if I'm in Boston again.

The house is as advertised, so you shouldn't have any surprises.  The bathroom is bright and spacious and has good storage.  The location of the house is very convenient to the orange line - less than 10 min walk.  Adriana and Gianni are great hosts - very quick to respond to phone calls and text messages, which is much appreciated.

We were in Boston for two nights and stayed at this property.  It was clean, well equipped, and VERY convenient to a really wonderful part of Boston called the North End which is also little Italy and right along the Freedom Trail. We used this as home base and covered on foot a very large portion of Boston between the two days.  I would highly recommend this property!

It was great staying at Katy's place. My brother and I went on memorial day weekend for a friend's grad party. We needed a place close to the suburbs of Boston. I would recommend her place for groups of up to 5-6 people. Plenty of space. Everything was exactly as described. Very clean and tidy and looked just like the pictures if not better. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were exceptionally well taken care of. Nice neighborhood with a distinct charm and not too far from the city as well. Katy was also great at communicating with us and was always within reach. Would definitely consider staying here again!

We stayed with A & L over Memorial Day weekend, and what a lovely experience it was!   The 3rd floor suite with adjoining full bathroom was clean, fresh and has a great view of the JP neighborhood.    Our hosts were attentive and very helpful regarding nearby restaurants, sites, etc. and they welcomed us with shared breakfast goodies from a local bakery.    Finally, the location was fantastic, walkable to both Jamaica Pond and Centre Street.   We really enjoyed a Jamaica Plain Historic Society free walking tour, which are scheduled each Saturday during the summer at 11 AM.    Overall, we highly recommend A & L's B&B as a friendly oasis in JP.

Chris and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Tom. He was very easy to get in touch with when we needed him. The house was exactly how he described- it was absolutely beautiful! In a very charming neighborhood.  We really appreciated the extra touches that Tom made to make our stay even more special. Without hesitation we would stay there again, and certainly recommend to all.

Jose/Jason responded to all of my questions within a few hours. He was very easy to get in touch with and answered thoroughly. The apartment was just what we needed. It was nice and clean with lots of character. I will say that the apartment is on the 4th floor and the stairway is very narrow and steep. Luckily we only had carry on sized bags so it wasn't an issue for us. The apartment is literally steps away from the Old North Church, the Freedom Train and tons of great restaurants. The subway is about a 5 minute walk away and there is a parking garage about a 3 minute walk away. The check-in/out process was very easy. We had a wonderful stay at "Under the Light of Old North Church" and I would highly recommend staying here!

Laura was absolutly lovely. She is wonderfully considerate from offering her expertise in Boston to making sure there was something to eat and drink in the apartment after a long international flight. The studio itself is wonderful - in a beautiful  historic  Boston terrace and located in one of the nicest areas of the city. The south end of Boston is full of wonderful food options and cute little shops. It is also a 7 minute walk to Bay Bay station so getting around is a breeze. I stayed here after moving from overseas and the studio had everything i needed to live and work quite comfortably.  I absolutly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to live temporarily/ have a longer stay in Boston this is the perfect place

Jennifer was a wonderful host from the moment she responded so quickly to my queries. We stayed over only one night, but because of missing our connection in D.C.--we live in New Orleans--we didn't arrive in Boston until late, very late. Nonetheless, she waited for my wife and me to arrive until after 1:15 AM. The room was as we expected, which is to say all that we wanted. We slept well; the bed was comfortable. My wife is also interested in becoming part of Airbnb, and Jennifer was helpful in her advice and responding to our questions. Because we arrived so late at night, we only saw the neighborhood as we left in the morning. It looked safe and possessed character.

The house is lovely and in a beautiful part of Boston. Quiet, family neighborhood. The house was clean but had a strong odor- I think it was cat urine. Emmanuel was not flexible on check in/ key pick up and as a result my husband had to leave my graduation reception to accommodate him. The sheets were old and covered in pills. Emmanuel also never answered when I asked him after our stay if he saw my grandmother's raincoat in the closet. He could at least respond to the question. All around would not recommend Emmanuel as a host or the house.

Joe is a generous, outgoing, and thoughtful person who seeks to do all he can for his tenants. A most likeable person, he went out of his way not only to pick us up at the airport but also to drive through heavy Friday afternoon traffic to take us back there (I don't think he can do this each and every time, and nothing in our arrangement with him obliged him to do so). His flat in Charlestown is comfortable, not fancy, but has everything you need (save for a working oven, which Joe is seeking to fix). All facilities work, the bed is comfortable, the neighborhood charming, the walk over to the Bunker Hill Monument a must, and Boston itself worth many hours of investigation.

The neighborhood is great-- it's right around the corner from Old North Church!  The hosts were good and communicative and helpful.  The spaces looked like they did in the pictures.

I just got back from my trip and I feel totally rested. I had a wonderful time in Boston and Christiane was a great host. I felt welcomed in her home and the private room was more than I expected. If you are looking for the " cookie cutter experience" you might want to go somewhere else. Christiane's home has a cozy charm and I felt totally comfortable there. The Charlestown neighborhood is amazing , full of history and charm. Dining at the historic Warren Tavern is a must do. There is easy access to downtown Boston and Christiane gave me passes to a couple of the Boston museums. I felt sad when I had to leave on Friday, however I will be returning to Boston and I hope to stay at Christiane's place again.

Great location, great Italian food, apt is right on the freedom trail.  The apt is a walk-up so don't take too much luggage.  The room a/c was not needed because the weather was cool, but was needed to mask out noises from other apartments.  The bed was very comfortable.  The kitchen looked well equipped but we always ate out.  The bathroom was functional but the final renovations need to be completed in that space..  Excellent value.

I would recommend everyone to book a room if ever they plan to come to Boston and enjoy an enriching confortable experience.

Our family of three (senior couple and adult daughter) found this rental to be ideal for our vacation in Boston.  Jamaica Plain is a great neighborhood, with groceries, shopping, and restaurants a short walk away. It only took us 5 minutes to walk to the Orange line, which took us just about everywhere we wanted to go.  
<br/>
<br/>The neighborhood was quiet, yards beautifully landscaped, and we were able to fix simple meals with the microwave and frig. Air conditioners in each bedroom allowed for sleeping comfort.  Internet worked very well. The price was very reasonable for a 2 bedroom apartment.  The only drawback might be the three flights of stairs. Not a problem for us, but not a good choice for someone with mobility issues.
<br/>
<br/>Our hosts were helpful when we needed assistance, but as we had relatives nearby, we had few questions.

I feel like the best feedback I can give is that on my next trip to Boston, I would  stay here again.  The room is small and sweet.  The house quiet and surrounded by trees and comes with two gentle cats.  JP is a great part of Boston with a diverse population and a pond to run around (almost exactly 3 miles from this house) that is a nice break from work meetings all day in the city.  Lisa is a great host--kind, funny, and is the type who will invite you to dinner but not be annoyed if you say no.  It was a nice change from staying in a sterile hotel room.

Samantha was a fantastic host and very easy to coordinate with. Even though I was a late arrival, she went out of her way to make sure the keys were available to me for a smooth entry.  She made sure everything was spotless when I arrived and even went as far as to offer up bottles of her wine collection for me to enjoy. Her apartment is very comfortable and provides far more than a hotel room would. The bed is always the most important factor and it was perfectly balanced between plush and firm for a great sleep. The living room is decked out with a big flat screen TV with every channel in creation, and the balcony is perfect for taking in the cool vibe of Beacon Hill. Ideal location for all the sights in Boston and also very convenient to Mass General. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

It was a really nice treat staying at Tom's place. He has a beautiful spacious home in a quiet and leafy suburb of Boston which is about a 15min walk to Shawmut station (about 6 stops into the City centre). <br/>The room itself was a great size for the two of us and full of natural light. The bed was huge (king) and extremely comfortable! <br/>Tom was such a courteous and generous host, he always made sure we had fruit and snacks aplenty and was more than happy offering us specific recommendations and help with anything else that we needed. <br/>Wonder liked to bark here and there but wasn't a problem. She'd always be receptive to a pat too. <br/>Overall an extremely pleasant stay with a thoughtful host!

I stayed here at short notice because I had booked to stay in another place and the lady whose place it was cancelled the stay at the last minute. The Airbnb customer service team swung into action (thanks Laura!)  to find a replacement room for me and Jose offered me his place. His communication was excellent, he sent really clear details about how to find the place and get in and made it very clear that he was available for any questions.  
<br/>The apartment itself is lovely. The bed was very comfortable indeed and there was a nice living area and a kitchen, which I didn't use because I was only there one day and I ate out. 
<br/>The apartment is in a fantastic location. It's within walking distance of the T station and the area feels very safe. There are lots of great restaurants nearby, a grocery store and a fabulous bakery that is open 24 hours. It's a wonderful area to walk around and explore. 
<br/>It's just steps away from the Old North Church and if you go to the service on Sundays they play the old organ. (Well the inside parts of the organ have been replaced but it's inside the old case from 1759 so it looks lovely!)

The host was great as was very responsive and also let us leave our luggage in the unit until 3PM on the day of checkout as we had a late flight out on the final day.  The host checked in via text message to make sure everything was ok and we didn't need anything.  As for the unit, it was very clean and well maintained.  There were towels waiting for us when we got there.  The only con to our group was the beds were very hard in which some people like that, we all prefer much less firm beds.  The master bedroom receives a lot of light in the bedroom in the mornings due to light colored blinds so if you are affected by this bring a sleeping mask.  The unit was great and would stay here again if make it back to boston.  Location was perfect walking distance to Fenway, great restaurants, and shopping.  The North End was also within walking distance (approx 40 min) on a nice day.

Terry's place was well equipped and clean, very much as described. First night was okay.<br/>However, we were very disappointed with the second night, we were left with no hot water which eventually turned into no water at all. Whilst I understand that Terry did take action to get it repaired, it was very disappointing that this had to come at the expense of our sleep. The whole night we were kept up with the noise from the repairer. This may have benefited the next guests to stay after us however, we would have appreciated this not being done in the middle of the night.

Thank you to the CarneyFamily for a very enjoyable stay at your accommodation.  It was very spacious with a very comfortable bed, good bathroom and plenty of storage space, including a security locker.
<br/>We also enjoyed the morning breakfast and snacks if required.
<br/>This place is in a good neighbourhood which is safe to walk around and only 5-6 minutes walk from the metro station.  Trains are frequent and the journey into Boston is quick and easy (only a few stops).
<br/>The directions to find the place by car were clear but if you miss an exit it is not immediately obvious for a foreign visitor how to easily make an exit off the motorway.  Still, we arrived just fine with a little help.
<br/>We will certainly book here if visiting the Boston area again.

We had a great time in Maria Elena's treetop heaven!<br/>She is a perfect host, very open minded and it was great meeting her and her family.<br/>The little appartment offered anything we needed, was super clean, cosy and very close to the next subway stop (max. 4min away).<br/>In the other direction, about 8min walking distance there is a Whole Foods market, which was perfect for us. Close by are some really nice restaurants as well, so you should find anything you need within 10min walking time.<br/>The porch is a great extra when its nice outside. It adds extra space and is perfect for a open air breakfast in the moring or a glas of wine in the evening.<br/>Parking in the area wasn't a problem at all, as long as you are aware about the street cleaning days. Maria Elena highlighted this to us straight after our arrival, so there shouldn't be any issues.<br/>We would definitely come back whenever we come close again to the Boston area and recommend Maria Elena as a host to anybody looking for a well located, clean and cosy home away from home in Boston!<br/>Thanks for having us Maria Elena!<br/>PS: Our personal food favorit was a little venezuelan restaurant in South End called Orinoco (477 Shawmut Ave).

Jose was a good host. He was readily accessible and responsive by phone and text. We appreciated his willingness to make accommodations for our early arrival and our post-check-out sightseeing plans.
<br/>
<br/>The place was in a great location - right off the freedom trail and close to two T stops. It was a well-appointed, comfortable and cozy place to stay for my husband and me. It was a great value for the price.  Since this was a new listing and we were the first stay in this unit, we did encounter trouble with securing a wifi connection in the bedroom; using TV (it wasn't yet fully connected); and the shower curtain getting caught on the track. These were all minor things that didn't diminish our experience and will likely be resolved for the next guests.
<br/>
<br/>We would definitely book a reservation with Jose/Jason again in our future visits to Boston. Thank you for an enjoyable stay in Boston!

Terry was quick to respond to all messages.  We did not have any interaction with Terry while we were in town but I have no doubt that he would have responded quickly if we needed anything.  As a testament to his wonderful planning his apartment was easily found based on his directions.  A quick walk from the T.  We did not rent a car while in Boston as the public transportation was so easy to manage and so close to the condo.  There were tons of information regarding tourist spots in the condo in case you want to look for additional places to go.  Wifi was great along with the cable tv.  We did not make use of the kitchen but it was nicely equipped.  Terry's condo was approximately half the price of a hotel during the time period we stayed and we had MORE room than a hotel.  Very comfortable furnishings.  This being our first airbnb experience has made us look further into using this service for future trips.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this apartment. It is in a fabulous location, is quiet, very spacious for a studio, and very comfortable. Tom was a fabulous host. He communicated clearly and promptly to my questions. You can tell he is a great guy by the books on his many bookshelves. Or at very least, he and I have the same taste in literature. Half of his books were titles I have read, the other half on my "want to read" list.

Their home is beautiful and the third floor space was perfect for our family of 3.  Everything was extremely clean and well maintained; better than some hotels even.  And the little extras, like yogurt and milk in the fridge and a fun kid-themed towel for our daughter, were very thoughtful touches.  The neighborhood is gorgeous and just a short walk from the house are restaurants, shops and parks.  We would definitely stay here again.  Thanks, Kelly and Phil!

<br/>The beds were quite comfortable.  We were supplied plenty of linens as well.

<br/>Also the location was terrific. We could easily access red line and green line trains for our plans for the weekend. It was an easy cab ride to/from the airport as well as South Station (on the red line) for our friend arriving by bus.

The apartment has a very cozy environment. I found it to be very clean, and spacious enough for two people to stay here.<br/>This place along the Freedom Trail and blocks away from great cafes and restaurants. Great location in the heart of Little Italy. I would definitely stay here again!

I stayed at Katy's place for two days and I can't say anything but good words about the host and the house. The house provided us with everything we needed such as beds, towels, and an unlimited supply of water and fruit.  It is perfect for a group of 4 or 5 people with a lot of space in the house. Katy is an amazing host reminding me of my own mother. She made me feel like I was at home, provided advice and suggestions and constantly maintained communication to make sure our stay was nothing below perfect. I highly recommend staying here and I would come back to Katy's whenever I go back to Boston!

Very welcoming home , with a neat hostess and two sociable cats. Quiet, beautiful area , shops and hairdresser/barber in walking distance. Be ready to separate garbage collection (compost, recycling), the hostess will tell you what to do. She speaks English and Portuguese, and is patient with a low level of knowledge of English. If necessary, she can help you navigate the area and Boston. She will give you a card to use the bus and subway - you only need to put money on it - and it makes travel more convenient and cheaper. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and a dishwasher. She provides towels, so you do not need to bring your own. The hostess prepares a healthy and tasty porridge (hot cereal) most (cool) mornings. There is a washing machine and dryer. In other words, there is everything you need for your stay.<br/>

What an absolute treat to be able to stay in a neighborhood such as this.  I felt a part of it, and learned much more about Boston than I would have had I stayed in a hotel.  Jason was a great host and was very responsive to my emails.  The apartment was very clean, well-kept, and exactly as described in the listing.  I highly recommend this location and this apartment.  It was an excellent experience.

Wij werden bij aankomst 's-avonds gehaast door de verhuurder ontvangen. Het appartement voldoet in grote lijnen aan de eisen voor een verblijf van meerdere dagen. Het appartement is gelegen achter de woning van de eigenaar en de ingang bevindt zich in een andere straat. Het staat in een leuke wijk. Rustige buurt en voldoende privacy. Metro, supermarkt en restaurants op loopafstand. Minpunt is dat er door airbnb was gemeld dat het appartement over airco beschikt, wat echter niet het geval was.

The apartment was just as described.  It was in the perfect location for experiencing Boston.  Originally, I thought that I was going to need an early check in and a late check out, that didn't turn out to be the case, but they were very accommodating and responsive to my request.  I would stay here again!

The apartment is confortable, save  and is near to everything, you can go walking to Columbus Park, Quincy Market.., and the neighborhood is amazing, especially if you like the italian food. Cindy is really a nice person, she always was available to answer any question that we had.

I made the reservation for my mother and her friend for their brief stay in Boston. My mother enjoyed her time in Gretjen's apartment and found it conveniently located near the subway. She found the room and bathroom clean and her hosts personable and accommodating, especially on the evening of her arrival when her flight got delayed. Gretjen was also kind enough to offer her food to her guests after it got too late to order out. Over all it was a great experience. Will definitely consider again.

The Dorset apartment was ok.  Clean, everything needed was there, etc.  Location was not the best in town, but again, wasn't bad.  All kind of services nearby.  Customer service was the best!!!!  Lack of tv's in bedrooms and the one is there, is in a room that is very uncomfortable to watch.  Train station is also very close and transportation was not a problem at all.  My only complain is the access to A/C - Heat.  Is locked in a box and no way to control the climate inside the apartment.  In an overall, great value for the price.  Would I recommend it????  mmmmmmmm

Had a very nice stay at the apartment. It was as described in the posting and was professionally cleaned prior to my arrival. The apartment is conveniently located on a quiet street in charming Beacon Hill and is walking distance to the subway (Charles/MGH station), 24hr CVS pharmacy, Boston Common, and other shops and restaurants in the area. Janet was a very accommodating host and made arrangements to ensure that I received my keys at check-in. Overall, I would recommend the apartment for single travelers on short term visits.

We very much enjoyed the hospitality and friendliness of our host's and their comfortable apartment. All correspondence was answered promptly and cheerfully. Gerard met us at the apartment to give us the keys and instructions with just the right amount of information and then let us go about our day. The apartment was very comfortable for a family of four, with working appliances including a washer and dryer. Amenities such as good coffee, tea, cream, and sugar were abundantly available. Extras such as the flower boxes outside the windows were appreciated.

Le quartier est sympathique, quelques petites adresses à retenir : le Ula café (http://www.ulacafe.com/), le restaurant TenTables et la boutique OnCentre!

GREAT location - 76 steps from the historic Old North Church to our front door (we counted!), yet off the street and quiet. Very charming, full of character, and a nice mix of old historic feel with modern conveniences. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice linens/towels.  Bring your own shampoo and bath soap. Small kitchen has the basics. Jose was very responsive and directions for check in/out were easy to follow.  We loved being right in the heart of the North End - the only difficulty was deciding which of the many fabulous restaurants nearby to choose from.  And easy 7-8 minute walk to two metro stations, and multiple historic sites within a 15 minute walk or less. Great stay for two. We definitely hope to come back another time.

Molly and Nik made sure to be home when we arrived, offered help with directions, and were flexible with check-out.

My wife and I had a great stay at Sam's apartment.  Our primary objective was to be located right in the middle of Beacon Hill - well, that goal was met!  And, we were pleasantly surprised to have a Whole Foods Market only 2 blocks away.  We loved our daily walks in Boston Commons and throughout the historic streets of Beacon Hill.  The place was VERY CONVENIENT to the T and walkable to both Boston Commons and Public Gardens - as well as an easy stroll to Back Bay.  We loved the big glass door looking toward the rear of the old buildings, and the cool little porch.  We also had a fun time using ChromeCast to watch all our own media from our personal devices.  We definitely recommend Sam's place and plan to return again for another romantic weekend in Boston.

This place was better than I could have expected, even after reading a lot of the previous reviews. The neighborhood was fantastic and an easy walk to downtown Boston. We didn't spend much time in the apartment since we were out and about the majority of the time, but our time spent there it did feel like home. Gerard and Marie were extremely accommodating considering our flight arrived well before check in time and departed well after check out time. When we arrived at the place Gerard greeted us and gave a quick rundown on restaurants and activities to try around town. Follow their advice! We tried numerous things he suggested and were not disappointed; the highlights being eating a meal at the Warren Tavern in Charlestown and renting bikes to ride along the Charles River from downtown Boston to Harvard. The apartment is only a couple blocks from the Bunker Hill Monument and it was really cool to be staying in an area where there is so much history. Our intentions prior to arrival were to take public transportation everywhere, but we discovered Charlestown was only a 15 to 20 min walk to the North End in downtown Boston and ended up walking everywhere. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was a fantastic experience and if we ever find ourselves in Boston again this will be the top of our list for a place to stay!

We  were so comfortable there that we wished we could stay longer!
<br/>Cindy responded quickly and informatively to my every email and question.  She and Mark are excellent hosts and I would stay there again on  my next Boston trip.  Ted and I highly recommend this spot.

Host was gracious and timely with her communications.  The home is filled with art.  The interior architecture is designed by the host and will be appreciated by anyone with a design background.  The home is spacious and quiet as is the neighborhood that it is in.  As a bonus there may be fresh eggs available only hours old.  A great place for parents visiting children in college or grandparents visiting nearby grandchildren.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay with Hilary. Hilary's place is around 10 minutes away from the subway but it's a leisurely downslope stroll. The room, as advertised, is sweet and cosy. The estate is very quiet and very safe even when we returned late at night. Hilary and her friendly doggy were at home to welcome us into her household. Hilary was very well-prepared and she presented us with a folder filled with useful information / maps and brochures to help us navigate our way around Boston. We love her spacious and well-maintained bathroom and huge bath.

We were four travellers on holidays from Australia who stayed at Trisha's place for three days and two nights. The property is exactly like the photos displayed and there were no surprises. Trisha was out of town the weekend we stayed there so she arranged for us to pick up the keys from the lobby of the building. There were no issues with this as she had sent us very clear instructions for us to follow. The property is located in Little Italy and is only short walk away from downtown.

<br/>The property met our needs and I would happily stay there again.

Our host was quite accommodating, especially since our plane was very late and we arrived after midnight on a Friday night.  BUT, we were six people, three generations, and we picked this house because the listing said it had 1.5 baths and a W/D. The 1/2 bath and W/D areas were under construction! No big deal with the W/D but sharing one bath was not what we paid for or what was advertised. We would have looked elsewhere but after arriving we just didn't have the time and we were in a strange city. The subway access was a pretty long walk and that was okay, but at night required a cab since the walk is very dark and not safe. We wanted to be close to Brookline but without a car it was hard to use public transportation to get there easily. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We all liked the beds. The dining room had only 4 chairs. The listing needs to reflect what is actually there or the price needs to be adjusted! Because of the location we had to use cabs more than we anticipated. The house is a bit far out from downtown and there is lots of traffic in front of it because it is located on a traffic circle which also seemed to confuse the cabs. The room air conditioners were adequate for us but it wasn't really hot when we were there in June. The closest convenience mart was 1/2 mile away. Never found a grocery store in walking distance but we didn't really need one. This location would not be good for elderly or anyone who can't walk very far and probably is best for renters with a car. The  WiFi worked great.

You have the whole 3rd floor to yourself with two bedrooms, bathroom and little kitchen area with fridge, sink, table & benches, plates, bowls, cutlery, glasses.  The fridge has fresh milk and coffee makings are provided.<br/>The house is a 3-minute walk to Center Street, the  "Main Street" of Jamaica Plain, with many restaurants, JP Licks ice cream/frozen yogurt, loads of little shops, CVS Pharmacy, Post Office, etc.  A Whole Foods is a 15-minute walk.  Jamaica Pond, which has a path all the way around, with shady trees and a cool breeze off the water, is about a ten minute walk.   The access to the T Orange line (5 minute walk) is great and takes you right into downtown Boston.   Phil and Kelly are kind and willing to offer help.

Albert's place is the perfect home away from home. From the very start Albert was a pleasure to deal with making sure that I had all my questions answered before arrival he was also prompt to any questions I had. Check in was a breeze and upon entering Albert's home I knew I had found a diamond in the rough. The place is spacious clean and very well maintained, with all the amenities necessary for an extended stay. The bathroom is clean and well decorated, the kitchen has everything you need and the bed! ... well this has to be the most comfortable bed I've had the pleasure of sleeping on in my life and that's no over-exaggeration. I can honestly go on and on about this place, so I'll say this. Stop searching in Boston, because you've found the perfect place for your stay. The host, location and apartment is a 5 start Airbnb experience.

The apartment is also close to the Charles MGH T stop, making it easy to get out to Cambridge.

<br/>The apartment is nicely furnished with a comfortable bed, apple tv, wifi and a nice kitchen. There's free laundry in the building, so I was able to use that before moving on to my next stop. Views are pretty from the windows, and the atmosphere is nice for relaxing after a long day before going to sleep. The cats were friendly and good company.

Amazing food nearby, great sightseeing, awesome north end park just a few blocks away, and at the same time a quiet apartment off the busy streets.  Thanks so much for renting this apartment, we are sure other folks/families would enjoy a stay at one of your apartments in this building.

The room was clean, and as pictured. The house is conveniently located near the T stop. Hermina was out of the country and our only contact with her was via email but she was very courteous. There was a bit of a snafu the first morning we were there because the keys that were left for our room did not actually work our door, and it took a little over an hour to get in touch with the person who manages the house when Hermina isn't there. Once this was straightened out our stay was enjoyable.

We had a great stay at Jennifer's place, feeling very home and welcomed. We travelled with our 2year old daughter and we can really recommend staying with kids at her place. Everything was very uncomplicated. The house and the room is  spacious. We had great breakfast etc. Above all Jennifer is an interesting and relaxed host.
<br/>Her house is in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. There is a farmer market with organic stuff close by every saturday, which is fun to visit.
<br/>Thanks for making Boston such a fun and safe stay!

Nice little flat in an excellent location (10 min walk to historic downtown, 1 minute from the Italian quarter with lots of restaurants) + great view of the harbour. Paolo very helpful and easy to get hold of. Really enjoyed our stay.

Our group of 7 travel mates from Germany (two couples, three singles) had a great 3-nights stay at Lita's place. Everything was like described and it's a perfect home base for Boston sightseeing. With the green and orange line in walking distance the city center is easy to reach. We cooked dinner for ourselves and fitted all at the kitchen table. Backyard BBQ was a highlight of our stay. Well assorted supermarkets are just around the corner. We felt save and welcome at all time. Thanks Lita for hosting us!

Jonathan's apartment was just great! It's in such a lovely and convenient location. He was very prompt with getting back to us regarding check-in and check-out details, and everything was just so easy. Definitely recommend Jonathan's apartment to anyone who visits Boston.

Rosalia and Blackjack were great hosts. Lovely apartment and really comfy bed and room. Only stayed a short time but felt very welcome and was given good recommendations for places to eat and go etc. Nice area and not far from great places to see and do. Would thoroughly recommend staying with both Rosalia and Blackjack.

Our stay at Emmanuel's home got off to a great start.  We were coming in on 2 different flights and he was very flexible in setting a time to meet at the house. Emmanuel was very helpful with providing the best GPS setting for guiding us to his home. It was still a little tricky to find for the first time.  I would recommend meeting him at the house during daylight hours. This was the first time my parents had ever been to an airbnb.  We were a little nervous, but everything turned out great.  The house was clean and ready with fresh towels on each bed as well as items for breakfast like cereal and coffee.  He had a binder ready with information about the wi-fi, and nearby restaurants and stores. Whenever we had a question, we would just text him and he responded within a short time. The home does have stairs up to to the front door.  My parents are in their mid 70's and had no problems.The house had a nice backyard where we could enjoy coffee in the morning.  It was centrally located for all the sight seeing we wanted to do. We all enjoyed relaxing in a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood.

Location, price and atmosphere was great for our needs.  From the Sweet Little House we could walk easily to the bus and T routes and to food and services we needed.  We drove to Boston, but left the car parked at the nearby public lot most days.  Parking is an issue in Boston proper and finding free public parking was great.  The lodging was "as advertised" and Hillary was very accommodating and helpful providing local knowledge that made our stay more fun.

I was in town for a solar convention and all of the hotels were booked.  Jose & Jason's apt was my first exploration into AirBNB - now I'm hooked.
<br/>Their place was awesome.  Better than described and the location is perfect for anything you want to do in Boston.  Communication was clear, quick and concise.

What a great place to stay in Boston!    Only 2 blocks from the beach and conveniently close to downtown.  The assigned parking spot that comes with the rental was extremely convenient for our car.  Meri was great in getting back to me with any questions I had.  We loved the kitchen and especially enjoyed the bathroom with the 7 shower heads!   We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again.   Only concern is that I would advise caution to anyone that has problem climbing stairs.The two bedrooms are located on the second floor, but the bathroom is located on the first floor.

Caroline was a kind, responsive and attentive host. I felt well-accommodated and comfortable. There were a couple of hiccups (probably resulting from my last minute reservation) that were promptly resolved. The location works well particularly if you have business in downtown Boston or Cambridge MIT area. The apartment has a lot of character with lots of accessories and decoration. Most importantly, it's a clean and comfortable place with a kind host - I'd recommend staying there.

This was, by far, our best Airbnb experience to date. The house is beautiful and immaculate. The neighborhood is charming and inviting. The house sits on a beautiful tree lined street with numerous great restaurants and bars at the end of the block. Stacey was a fantastic host. She was extremely attentive and was easily accessible. We hope to be able to stay here again on future trips and would highly recommend this beautiful home.

The location is good, and we found free parking readily just across the street.  The place is lovely and the kitchen is very well equipped beyond our expectations.  We ate quite a few meals there at the beautiful dining room.  The folder of restaurants and carryouts was very helpful since we arrived late.  There was a TV in the sitting room, one TV in each bedroom.  We did not miss any important World Cup updates.  
<br/>
<br/>Our English friend accidentally left behind his wallet with a bunch of credit cards and cash.  We contacted Terry right away.  He responded promptly, helped us find it and sent everything back overnight in a low cost way.  We really, Really, REALLY appreciate his help and integrity.

The house matched the photos, was spacious. Our first time using AirBnB not sure how this would go. His 3 ring binder did have a great deal of helpful information. We had a party of 6 in town for a wedding.  Unfortunately we had a miss communication about the TV's and cable.  We had planned to watch the World Cup games in our down time.   The house had it pro's and con's.  The main living area and bedrooms were clean.   The bathroom only had one hand towel.  When we arrived there was two bars of opened used soap in the shower.  The freezer was filthy dirty and full of food, some of the countertops had stains.
<br/>He did leave us 6 different colored bathroom towels.  Poor quality, half of them were stained and smelled spoiled so we just shared among the family.
<br/>Location was great for our needs in Jamaica Plains.  Easy to walk to the necessary locations. But like other people have noted, it's tricky when ordering cabs because of the funky address, access and roundabout.  Depending on where you need to travel this might or might not be an issue.   You do need to cross the road 4 times (because of the roundabout)  and two of the crosswalks are on curves and the traffic moves very quickly (40 MPH).  If you have children or elderly people I would take this into consideration.   The Orange Line stop is quit a distance away, at least 1 mile.  Pack sneakers to walk because Emmanuel is not very forthcoming on the distance to all the restaurants, shops and grocery stores. We did enjoyed our stay.

We thought the listing looked great, and our 2-night experience matched.  Our first Airbnb stay and we couldn't have been more pleased.  Our hosts were welcoming & helpful.  Our room was large & clean.  The entire downstairs, including the lovely back porch, were at our disposal. Coffee & homemade muffins.  Convenient by Metro &/or car to Boston. Parking on premises. And the neighborhood is very beautiful with two great breakfast (brunch) places right next to the Metro station (10 minute walk).  Definitely stay there again.

My stay with Kelly and Phil's exceeded my expectations. I rented their place for  a couple days because of it's location near my sister's wedding venue. And wow was I blessed.  Many guests went the air bnb route but experienced troubles whereas I experienced bliss. The apartment was close to downtown and the venue as I expected so I was able to walk everywhere.  Most important, the acommendations exceeded my expectations.  I was greeted the first day and was given a key. The master bedroom was super clean, stylish, comfortable and honestly larger than I expected with a closet for hanging my dress. (and an iron to boot!) Since the apartment was on the floor, I felt like I had my own space. The added offerings of fresh coffee and creamer in  the kitchen refrigerator was much appreciated.  I would highly recommend the host and their  apartment. I felt like I was staying at home which is great way to feel when travelling.

We didn't actually get to meet Chris & Kristina, but they made sure we were comfortable and taken care of during our stay (they even installed an air conditioner mid-weekend, while we were out, since it was so hot outside - very thoughtful).  The studio is quite small but clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, though just a short walk from the many shops & restaurants on Centre Street.

We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment was just as the pictures show and the perfect size for a weekend getaway. We fell in love with the surrounding area and all of the nearby restaurants. The only downside to the neighborhood is that all of the parking is resident permit only so you have to park in a garage. Everything was so close by that we parked the car and didn't see it again until 4 days later when we left. Jose was incredibly accomodating and flexible the enitre stay, he was easily accessible by phone. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect home for the weekend!  We spent the majority of the time exploring Boston - mostly on foot, which is totally doable with a good pair of sneakers.  We balanced out touristy items (cannolis in the North End, duck tour, Freedom Trail) and recommendations from locals (Fiore, Beehive, Gaslight restaurants, SoWa market).  Jose's haven was the perfect cozy spot to slumber, with the comfiest bedding and linens.  Can't ask for anything more! Thank you so much for hosting us - will return!

We stayed at the Parlor Retreat for a month while working in Boston.   The building is located in the center of the vibrant south end and is surrounded by award winning restauraunts.  The standout feature of this updated apartment is cleanliness.  The unit is and feels very clean.  Laura was also very accomadating and immediately assisted us when we briefly lost the keys to the apartment.  We would definetly stay in her building again and look forward to our next visit.

Sending a mail to tell us how to best arrive from the airport. Having a book of information ready on the kitchen table when we arrived three hours late at midnight. Continuing by answering any questions that we had. It's a good location near the transport line. The room is small and cute. Thanks for everything :-)

Jessica's house is as huge as it is charming and quaint, with pieces of art everywhere, an Harry Potter cabinet and a secret hallway! The neighborhood is beautiful, with lots of trees and big colorful wooden houses, and even if there's not much cafes or nice restaurants around (for what we saw), the house is only a 10 minutes walk away of the train station which makes it very easy to go everywhere in town. We really enjoyed Boston and Jessica's warm welcome.

Jose was kind and professional and provided all the information we needed before we got there.

I visited Boston with my sisters and a friend for a long weekend.  Our stay at the Koeppel's was just perfect!  The house is located in South End, Boston's best neighbourhood in my opinion and walking distance to anything you may want to visit.  The house itself is amazing: very spacious, clean/well maintained & extremely well equipped.  Communication with Stacy & Seth was very easy.  We really appreciated Seth meeting us at the house to give us a tour as we familiarized ourselves with the place.  We were also very grateful for the "house, neighbourhood & city guide" that they left for us.  I would recommend to any family or group of friends to stay in this place as a good time is guaranteed.  Thank you again Stacy & Seth.

There is lots of parks around and small coffee and restaurants are only a few minutes away. We would definitely recommend this place!

I had read comments that Michelle is an airbnb superhost...and she definitely is.
<br/>I had a great time staying at Michelle's. The room was great, with a lot of space,  the bed was very comfy.The neighborhood is residential and very pleasant, conveniently located a few subway stations from downtown Boston. Coming from Canada, I lost my passport a couple of days before I was due to arrive in Boston. Michelle went out of her way to accomodate me. She also took me to the nearest pharmacy upon arrival eventhough it was late.
<br/>She is also very knowledgable about the city.
<br/>She also gave me great advice to go to the seaside 1 hour north of Boston.
<br/>I highly recommend staying at Michelle.

The apartment is located in a beautiful part of town and very quite. It was rather warm outside when I was there but thankfully the apartment had great air conditioning and it was always comfortable inside. I now know where I will go if I ever go to Boston again.

This was an excellent choice for a couple and their 15 year old grandson,  Not a large studio, but adequate for a week.  View of the harvor and old ironsides in the Navy Yard across on the other side.  The Navy shoots off a cannon at 8 AM and 8:23 PM.  There is a park with ball fields across the street.  Only drawback, the bus runs only for a couple of hjours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon.  Thus, for public transit we walked to the North Station (about 0.5 miles) or the Aquarium  Stop (about 0.7 miles.  There are many restaurants nearby, the Waterfront Cafe being only two doors down from Foster Street.

Many thanks to Mary and Barney for their warm welcome and making us feel at home. Our room was very comfortable and the house location is a great asset. A 5-10 minutes walk takes you to the subway station and another 15 minutes takes you right to the hearth of downtown. There are also a few restaurants close to the subway station, which is very convenient if you want to return to your room after a busy day of visit and have a later dinner. Having access to the kitchen and to all the goodies for the breakfast was also very enjoyable. As resume, we loved Boston and our stay at the Carney's house was certainly for a big part of it. We can only strongly recommend it.

This is very clean, nice and cool even in hot weather, modern inside with a nice kitchen. Nice to have access to WiFi and a washer and dryer. It's in a nice area, pretty, very quiet, convenient access to buses (3 to 5 min walk) and the T (subway, 10 minute walk), and within a fairly short distance via transit to the centre of Boston. There is also a good, large food store, including some organic food and a CVS pharmacy and some other shops within a 5 minute walk, and a large shopping mall (Cambridgeside Galleria) is within about a 15-20 minute walk. There are two trolley stops on one of the trolley tours of Boston that are within walking distance of this place. I felt safe walking in this area even late at night. Atef was quite responsive and helpful. Recommended.

Lisa's apartment is quaintly wonderful. She was a away during our two day stay, but made sure our needs were completely catered for, right down to chocolates and healthy breakfast provisions. <br/>I'd never heard of the neighbourhood of Jamaica Plains, but it has historical significance as well as being modestly hip. The area has an 'emerald necklace of parks' that gives access to peaceful strolls in a nature setting. If you like cats as I do, you'll find Lisa's two furry creatures undemanding, friendly companions during your stay in this charming accommodation.

I stayed here with two friends and we really enjoyed our stay. The location of this flat cannot be beat. The North end my favorite area of Boston, and in this flat we were walking distance to some great cafes, pubs and restaurants. 
<br/>
<br/>Jose and Jason answered our questions immediately and were very accommodating (our flight got in early and they let us check in early no questions asked).  
<br/>
<br/>The bedroom was big and bright, and the bed was really comfortable, it was also air conditioned which was very appreciated in this heat wave. The rest of the flat was a little dark and the air conditioning didn't travel as well to the living room, so I'm not sure how comfortable it was for the 3rd person sleeping on the couch.
<br/>The bathroom was clean, but could use some fixing up. However the shower was great, and had nice water pressure. As for the kitchen the microwave and toaster were nice to have, but there were very few dishes in the apartment. 
<br/>
<br/>Overall we really liked our stay, and would definitely recommend staying here

This was a wonderful apartment during our stay in Boston. It was great for hunkering down during Hurricane Arthur and for accessing the rest of the city.

The view was great and I would definitely return to this apartment. It was quiet and reasonably sized.

Great location..However we did have issues due to the "assumed" breed of my dog. They are pet friendly which apparently does NOT include  pit bulls but I was never asked the breed of my dog BEFORE we got there so how was I suppose to know??. ( I have a pit/mixed breed who is VERY friendly) so after being yelled at by the owner of the building, I called Jose who handled it very well and no issues after that. Over all like I said, great location..awesome coffee right across the street, restaurants etc made any other issues go away!  my husband was slightly disappointed by no tv and to be honest we prob wouldn't rent again due to the owners rudeness and unprofessionalism.

We stayed in Stacy and Seth's home during the Fourth of July weekend with a group of 6, and it was an amazing experience.  We've rented many homes but this one far surpasses any of our past rentals -- the house is immaculate with great amenities, located in a charming neighborhood.  There were plenty of great bars and restaurants within a short walking distance.  Even with a terrible rainstorm, we had a great time hanging out in the home -- there were plenty of TVs, spacious common areas, and video games (not to mention a beautiful patio that we were able to enjoy when the weather improved).  
<br/>
<br/>Stacy was extremely responsive and checked in with us days before our arrival and during our trip.  She also left a welcome packet with detailed instructions for how to operate all the gadgets as well as recommendations for places to eat and things to do.  I highly recommend this rental, I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay!

I booked Katy's house for July 4th weekend and it was our last minute plan and
<br/>Katy was very good though out the course of communication right from day of inquiry. She was very considerate in waiting for my decision at the cost of loosing her other guests as she was already talking to me.
<br/>Katy house looked exactly like it was shown in the pictures. House was squeaky clean. Fresh towels, fruits, coffee and drink were included and free to use
<br/>House is very accessible  to North or South side of Boston, about 15-20 mins drive. We felt like home when we were at Katy's house.
<br/>I would definitely recommend this to others.

All in all, we can highly recommend staying at her place, although we unfortunately have to mention that the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been (which could also have been due to the other (male) guests who were there as well).

JP and this Studio were really as expected and advertised. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet. Only 5 minutes’ walk to the Subway is an extra plus. My son and I were here for the Red Sox, so, only two stations away and a walk took us to Fenway in about half an hour. The hosts were very accommodating and rapidly quick to respond to any questions we had. A really nice family! We will be back in Boston and would definitely stay here again.

Thomas was an absolutely delightful host. He was warm and engaging from the onset, made us feel comfortable in his home, was obliging and helpful readily imparting his local knowledge which was a real bonus for us. He is to be highly recommended as an airbnb host.

Très bon accueil, le quartier est de plus très calme , et en une vingtaine de minutes, on peut rejoindre le centre de Boston. <br/>Les deux chambres sont confortables , et idéales pour un couple avec enfant(s). ( bcp de jouets qui ont fait le bonheur des miens ) .

Margaret's home was the absolute perfect place for us and our extended family to stay for the festivities of our son's 4th of July weekend wedding.
<br/>The kitchen was big enough for a whole bunch of busy cooks preparing for the rehearsal dinner.  And had all the tools and utensils for all of them to use.
<br/>The dining room was just right for a bridal brunch for 11.  The breakfast bar looked beautiful with all the food and fancy dishes.
<br/>All 8 of us who stayed there were comfortable.  6 of us in the 3 bedrooms, Grandma in the office on a small bed - and an aunt in the living room on a blow-up mattress.  The groom even slept in the hall the night before the wedding.
<br/>After all was over we relaxed on the deck, went into the city on the subway, and got ice cream at JP Licks.
<br/>It was wonderful!

Hi Jason,  We did not enjoy your appartment very much, we were expecting something  clean and it was not, lots of dust on the headboard, a/c, by the windows, and  the floor in the bathroom was dirty,( I picked up something that had fallen with a tissue and the tissue became grey !) It would have been nice to have 2 towels each, maybe a bottle of cool water in the fridge. The bed is not confortable.  Also maybe you could install the a/c in the next window, it is too close to the bed. And of course no Internet, we were expecting that you would call us back or fix the problem.... .hum !  We did not feel welcomed. Too bad because going with airbnd we thought we would live something different, friendlier than a hotel.  One positive thing, the location.

Emmanuel was a great host. Very quick to reply and accommodating when we were arriving late. The house was fabulous, very modern and in a great location. We felt very safe and secure! We could have done with a couple of extra towels as we were staying 5 nights but we never asked so he wasn't really to blame. I would also suggest clearing the fridge and stuff in the bathroom baskets after old visitors. Not a major issue for us though because everything else was great. I would recommend this house to anyone and would stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Boston.

The Rosenberg's home is very welcoming, friendly, and most importantly comfortable.  Everything from hygienics to first aid was supplied, along with complementary drinks! They are very friendly and make you feel safe and at home in a large and busy city.

Host was very nice.  We saw them at the beginning of our stay and when we checked out.  The neighborhood was perfect, right in Charleston.  We were able to walk every where we wanted (we were fairly active and probably walked 15 miles over 4 days).  The apartment was clean and perfect for a couple.  When we stayed, it was very hot and the only air condition was in the bedroom, but we were out in the city during the day.  The kitchen had all needed furnishings.  Overall, a great experience and will look to go back next time I am in Boston.

We really enjoyed our short stay in this characterful house! Hilary, Hazel and her friendly dog are easy and relaxed and made us feel part of the family.  Hilary is a very good host and knows what her guest need. Everything is well prepared and thought of. She even has a folder with information and maps about Boston.  Hilary gave us very good tips about the community and cultural events in the city. Jamaica Plain, is a very nice neighborhood, with a lot of local shops, coffee shops and small restaurants around the corner. Public transport to the center is in walking distance.

This was our second time at Stacy's beautiful home and everything was perfect once again. This has quickly become our favorite place to stay when we visit Boston for work. We absolutely love the house and the neighborhood and can't get enough of the great local restaurants. We even walked to a Red Sox game! Though I'm sure that it would be easier to jump on the train a short walk away to get there... Can't wait to stay here again!

My mom and I had a fabulous time here. Kristina was an excellent host. She accommodated our request for early check-in and was reachable by text throughout our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bed is comfy and the shower had good water pressure. This is a great space with lots of windows. We had a rental car one day and it was super easy to find street parking at night.  
<br/>
<br/>I would highly recommend this studio if you're in town for at least a few days. However, if you're in Boston for 2 days and want to maximize your time there, I'd think again. While the studio is only a short walk (5 minutes) away from Stony Brook station, the subway (the orange line) was not running frequently at some time of the day, so it took us some time to get to the back bay area. In short, super lovely place, but not the most convenient. It worked well for us, since it was not our first visit to Boston and we had 3 full days there. It depends on what you're looking for.

My boyfriend and I recently visited Boston for the first time. While planning for the trip I looked into hotels and possible areas to stay in and found all the great areas involved hotel prices of $300 to $400 a night. Luckily I stumbled across airbnb and found this perfect modern haven in the best possible area. The price was perfect, the location amazing and the actual apartment was way better than any hotel. The bed in the apartment should be listed as a must see sight. The apartment had tons of character and the perfect amount of space. To top all this off it is in the best location we could have asked for. Stepping outside there's a wonderful cafe with yummy coffee and a front row view of the Old North Church. It was easy to walk all over to see the sights, and the subway was easy to find and jump on and off. When we return to Boston we are definitely booking this apartment again!!

We just returned from a stay at Emmanuel's home.  I was alittle skeptical after reading some of the recent reviews, but we were all very pleased with the accomodations.  The home is spacious and fit the four of us very well.  It is also in a nice neighborhood and within walking distance to restaurants, shops and liquor stores. It was pretty easy to get a cab there too, you just had to explain in detail the traffic circle, which wasn't a big deal. Everything was very clean and well kept.  We loved the sunroom!  Emmanuel was flexible with our arrival time and very responsive. Overall, I would recommend this home if you are traveling to the Boston area.  For the price, you cannot beat it! Thanks Emmanuel!

We stayed at Gerard and Marie's apartment for 2 nights as we were in town for a wedding.  We had our 2 month old infant son with us. 
<br/>
<br/>The apartment is just as if not nicer than it looks in the photos, and Marie and Gerard couldn't be nicer (they live upstairs).  It was spacious, clean, and welcoming.  For a longer stay it would be very helpful to have the full fridge and washer/dryer.  The location is perfect for a visit to the Charlestown area, walkable to the Navy Yard and very close to cute restaurants and coffee shops.  Also less than a five minute walk to Whole Foods.  The area is very quiet and residential.
<br/>
<br/>Marie was also very accommodating as we arrived a little earlier than expected, and it was helpful for us to check in early and feed the baby.  We will definitely recommend to our friends who live in the Charlestown area that they suggest this apartment for any friends or family visiting!

We thank Barney, Mary and the rest of the Carney Family very much for the perfect time we had in Boston and at their house. The house is very nice and spacious and the Master Bedroom was perfect for the three of us. Everything was very clean and Barney's coffee is one of the best we have tasted so far. It made our mornings. Also very nice is the balcony of the house where you can enjoy the view of the garden and the little bay in the back of the house. The beachwalk was very nice for an evening walk. The connection to the centre of Boston and Cambridge is very easy by the red line (subway). And on top of all, we felt very welcome and were very happy to meet the members of the family. Thank you for all the advice you gave us for our visits to Boston and for everything else! We can recommend this air bnb 100%.

<br/>The place is clean and spacious. The bathroom might be a bit small but for two people it was just fine for us. The kitchen is comfortable and so are the beds and the sitting room. 
<br/>The location is fine, just next to the Bunkerhill monument. There the Freedom Trail starts. This is a nice walk downtown, if you like walking.

Host Kristina was very helpful in advices before and during our stay.  Fast responses, a good host. The apartment has all the things that we needed. Since it’s a little out of town, if you’re a first timer in Boston and have no car, I would recommend to see MBTA web site and have a look at the subway system.  Orange, green, red line…  truly not difficult and after that you will be able to visit most attractions in Boston.
<br/>So we really enjoy our stay at this apartment.    Enjoy your stay in Kristina’s apartment, enjoy Boston!

My girlfriend and I spent a four day weekend at Tom's and couldn't be happier with our choice!<br/>Pros: Super large bed. Out of the way host, we rarely saw him which is good and bad because he's such a nice guy. 10 minute walking distance from a train into downtown. Friendly, approachable and great communication. Clean apartment. Access to the kitchen. Super friendly dog! (We loved Wonder) <br/>Cons: Street parking although we didn't have any problems finding any spots. Didn't really find too many local food places but that might be because we didn't have time to explore the area for some late night food. If you really really really have an issue with dogs, Tom does have a dog (But honestly, Wonder was amazing, we loved her and we can't see very many people having any issues with her)<br/>We would totally recommend staying with Tom to friends and anyone that would listen.<br/>Thanks Tom and Wonder!<br/>July 2014

Very welcoming hosts and a lovely Victorian house.The apartment had two large bedrooms, one twin and one double and we enjoyed the art work.

<br/>The kitchen area has a micro-wave oven, 'fridge and washing-up sink, and a table and seating but we ate out.
<br/>
<br/>The bathroom is quirky but the shower was powerful and the Boston water is soft.
<br/>
<br/>It is 15 minutes from downtown Boston by metro and about 40 minutes by bus.Both metro and bus are within 10 minutes walk of the house. Phil accompanied us to the subway on our 1st morning and the family made us feel very comfortable.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette jolie maison, à prix raisonnable, même si la nuit, les fenêtres ouvertes, le quartier peut être un peu bruyant. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre voyage à Boston et je recommande chaleureusement cet endroit.

My stay with Rebecca was a peaceful, convenient and effortless experience.
<br/>She had a calming presence and a sincere curiosity whenever we chatted.  It was comforting to see her take pride caring for her gardens.  Whole Foods may have bigger raspberries, but they can't compete with Rebecca's more flavorful and handpicked raspberries.  She coordinated bathroom schedules with the other guests so there was never a conflict for showers and getting out of the house on time.  The neighborhood was quiet and literally a 3 minute walk to catch the bus to the Forest Hills T station.  l also took advantage of several early morning runs through the Arnold Arboretum, which has scenic rolling hills and a slalom of dogs to get your canine fix.

The location couldn't be better-- right near the park on a lovey quiet street, and a 5ish min. walk to the T. The staircase up and the bathroom are tight, but what you would expect in old Boston. The kitchenette and writing table made it better for me than a hotel. I would definitely come back.

As soon as we got in the house, we got a very nice welcome and a tour of Stacey's house which is very nice. The bedroom we slept in was perfect, with fresh sheets, air conditioning and a mattress I would dream to have in my own bedroom. The house is very clean, and so is the bathroom. I would highly recommend Stacey as a host. She's not located very far from the downtown core and the touristic areas if you don't mind a 10 minutes drive. This was our first airbnb experience and staying at Stacey's is definitely putting me in confidence for my next trips.

Staying at Mary and Barney's was just great. Their place is a beautiful mansion, just beside the seaside, in a quiet neighbourhood. Mary kindly gave me all the necessary instructions upon my arrival and made me feel at home. The house is walking distance to T station and only 10 minutes train to central Boston. It's perfect, whether you planned sightseeing or just chilling out. Would thoroughly recommend, and will definitely visit again in the future.

This was my first AirBnb experience. The apartment is exactly as promised. The hosts provided excellent, quick communication. The neighborhood was lovely. Using the train was very quick and easy and it was nice to explore a different neighborhood. Very clean. Everything you need is there. Only suggestion is if wifi is important then maybe not book this place as we had an issue getting on with a weak signal (wasn't important to us anyways). Highly recommend the place.

The owner, Antoinette Russell, has been wonderful, although I didn't stay at her property; I cancelled simultaneous with the reservation being confirmed. The problem is that airbnb has been unable or unwilling to acknowledge my cancellation. I am really skeptical about using this service again.

We had a warm welcome from our host family, the Rosenbergs. They made us feel at home, providing us with privacy, but being very available if we wished to ask them questions about the neighborhood. The rooms were clean and fresh with lovely bedding and all necessary amenities, including a small fridge and a kettle.

Sometimes less is more so I will be brief and to the point: Elizabeth is a wonderful hostess, her suite is charming and delightful, and Charlestown is a great location if you want to be close to everything in Boston. This is a great find!

This condo was by far the best Air BnB experience I've had to date (3 total so far). Cindy, our host, was thoughtful and gracious. She has fantastic taste and it shows in the decor, furnishings, linens and all of the little personal touches in her condo. I loved every minute of our stay there. Location was convenient and quiet, even amidst the bustling North End. I wouldn't change a thing.

Location was perfect for what we wanted to do! We loved it! Great neighborhood that we felt totally safe in. Trisha responded quickly when we had any questions. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone! We were so busy doing stuff every day and it was a great place to come "home" to and relax. Thank you Trisha!!

The suite was just as pictured and described. We had a few questions prior to arriving and Kelly and Phil answered them promptly. The property is in a pleasant neighborhood of large older homes. You can walk to pretty much anything you need and the T stop is nearby for access to all Boston has to offer. 
<br/>It was not awkward to be staying in someone's home and sharing their front door. The owners were very cordial the one time we met; otherwise our respective comings and goings were different. It was clear they would be available and helpful had there been a need. 
<br/>The suite was very clean. We enjoyed the tasteful and whimsical decor. Comfy beds; good bedding and towels. 4-year-old and 14-year-old grandsons each spent a night and enjoyed the space and the great collection of games and toys. 
<br/>The kitchenette is minimal but adequate for basic provisions and simple meals. It was nice to find a quart of milk in the frig. 
<br/>It's an old house, so fixtures, faucets, tub/shower and electrical outlets are "vintage". Everything works, though, and the age of the space adds to its charm. 
<br/>The air conditioners work well; this is important during Boston summers.

The home was beautiful, the room was beautiful, and the whole kitchen and living room availability was fantastic. The other guests were very enjoyable to mingle with. So many of them brought in food from nearby markets and cooked quite a bit.
<br/>But for me, the best part of the stay there was Mary. I think Mary's one of the nicest people I've ever met, and she went out of her way to be gracious and kind, and made my stay so very pleasant.

The location was perfect.  It was within walking distance of everything we wanted to do.  I don't think they should advertise it as sleeping 3 because the futon was the most uncomfortable thing I've ever slept on and they only left one flat sheet (no fitted sheet or blanket) for it.

We (family with 2 kids) stayed for 5 days in the amazing apartment of Chris & Kelly. What a marvelous time we’ve had! The apartment is exactly as you see it on the pictures, but in real life even better: so spacious, comfortable and perfectly located in the centre of Boston. We walked many times to different attractions (Boston Common, Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill, Cheers and the Freedom Trail), but the subway was also easy to access; right outside of the apt is the Downtown Crossing station. Every contact with Kelly and Chris was very friendly and helpful. They gave us great tips prior to our stay and also checked to see if we needed anything during our stay. This made us feel really welcome and right at home. Thanks again, Chris and Kelly! We would definitely recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again when we return to Boston.

Jose was an awesome host.  He was super accommodating and always quick to respond.  Any additional needs I had during my stay (more towels, bedding, ect) were brought over super quick.  He's very communicative and helpful in getting you settled.  All instructions for arrival were very clear and detailed.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment is awesome.  It's super spacious and stocked with all the essentials for cooking and cleaning - which totally makes you feel at home for a long stay.  All the appliances and furniture are modern and in fantastic condition, but the apartment maintains the old school North End feel.  It's on the top floor of a 4 floor walk up.  It's super quiet, especially with no one above,  so if you don't mind the stairs, it's perfect.  Tons of natural light, as well.  The sleeping alcove is super cozy.  There's no door, but a curtain to close off the space.  If you have others in your stay, the couch folds open and is at the opposite end of the apartment, so plenty of privacy/space.
<br/>
<br/>The location cannot be beat, off a quiet street  in the North End.  The area has tons of awesome restaurants, markets and is super quaint.   Go check out Pomodoro (hidden gem) for amazing Italian, or Mike's Pastry/Modern Pastry for awesome dessert.  About a 6-7 minute walk to the Haymarket T stop.  And a great walk.   About a 20ish minute walk to the Downtown Crossings area/Boston Commons, should you opt out of the T.  
<br/>
<br/>I had a great stay and would highly recommend staying at this listing, or any other listings through Jose!

I LOVED THE MOROCCAN LUXURY SUITE and ELIZABETH + BILL!!  I am also an Airbnb Host with two very busy, high-end Airbnb listing in Santa Cruz, CA.  I work really hard to provide an amazing experience for my guests, so, when I was looking for the perfect place in Boston prior to a conference, I diligently searched 5-Star Listings, price no object.  I wanted my trip to be super special.  WOW!  I hit the jackpot!!  First of all, Elizabeth responded immediately and made me feel like an old friend coming to town.  She sent me all kinds of good information, including a clip from a TV Show where her splendid apartment was featured.  So exciting!  When I arrived at an un-Godly hour, Fabulous Bill was there to greet me and to help me with my luggage up to the penthouse suite in this historic building.  The apartment is simply divine, unique and beautiful.  Vibrant colors, textures and special artistic touches were everywhere.  There is a tranquil, beautifully appointed garden courtyard where we sat and had wine and cheeses in the warm evening breezes.  Bliss!  The neighborhood was outstanding!  Located in the oldest part of Boston, the neighborhood is filled with beautiful, quaint brick homes lovingly adorned with colorful flower boxes.  You pass right by the monument at Bunker Hill (I climbed the 294 steps to the top to take it spectacular 360 degree views).  Historical Parks and Gas Lamp lined narrow streets lead you down to the water's edge to Old Ironside.  The waterfront in Charlestown is really, really nice!  We dined at Pier 6, Elizabeth's recommendation, with sweeping views of the harbor and the Boston Skyline.  Cool breezes delighted us as we dined al fresco.  Simply wonderful!!  Elizabeth takes great pride in providing an outstanding experience -- every detail in place.  Elizabeth and Bill are caring hosts and her suites are divine!  I felt sad to leave and will definitely be back whenever I come to Boston!  For those seeking a unique and wonderful experience right out of Old Boston, the Luxury Moroccan Suite cannot be beat!

A perfect place and great quite location from where to explore Boston. The room was big, clean and the common areas as well! We loved staying in this beautiful house and Mary was lovely and available every time giving us great suggestions! We had breakfast every morning under the portico in the back of the house overlooking the garden and the sea! Will definitely come back here for our next Boston trip! - Un posto tranquillo e perfetto per andare alla scoperta di Boston (in 20-25 min si arriva in centro prendendo la metro). La stanza era molto grande, pulita così come le stanze comuni (sala, cucina). Consigliamo a tutti di stare in una casa del genere caratteristica e in stile tipico del New England. Mary la proprietaria era sempre a disposizione e ci ha dato ottimi consigli! La mattina facevamo colazione sotto al porticato nel retro della casa con vista sul giardino e sul lago. Torneremo di sicuro per la nostra prossima visita di Boston!

Our stay at Paolo's appartment was great! Location is excellent, walking distance from  a lot of restaurants, parts of the centre of Boston and the subway. Paolo informed me very well about the parking options in the neighbourhood. Ralph, who is taking care of the visitors if Paolo is not around, was very easy to contact. The appartment was clean, had everything you need and has a terrific view! We, me and my two sons of 15 and 17, love Boston and when we return we surely will book this appartment again!

I met Joe a couple of times during my stay and he was friendly and always had stories to tell about Charlestown. The apartment is clean and comfortable and about 10 mins walk to the subway station. The kitchen is well stocked with juice, milk and bagels - everything you need for a simple breakfast. Joe even surprised us with a gift card at a neighbourhood cafe. All in all, my friend and I had a great stay in Boston.

This was our third time at Stacy's place and it continues to be our favorite place to stay in Boston when we come up there for work. Everything was perfect, as always, even though she and her family were away in Spain! Check in was seamless and Stacy and her husband were very attentive all the way from Madrid when there was a small problem with one of their TV's! We will always want to stay there when we are in town but this treasure is starting to get tough to book with so many others discovering it. We continue to love the neighborhood and it's central location.

The listing description was very accurate.  The location was fantastic, just steps away from the Old North Church and in the heart of Little Italy and a short walk to Quincy market.  There was also a farmers market nearby on a Friday we were there.  Jose was so available and helpful.  He was able to get me a parking pass to a local residents-only garage one block away which helped SO much.  Parking around there is very difficult because the streets are so narrow and it is mostly limited to residents.  Jose was really pleasant in all of our communications, too. The apartment was airy and light and very comfortable.  We didn't do major cooking but used the stove top which was great and the kitchen was stocked with enough utensils, etc.  Shower was great, loved the shower head.  Queen bed was very comfy and couch futon was perfectly fine.  It was a treat to stay there and I will recommend it to friends.

 We booked this house in January for a July vacation. It was listed as a single family with 1.5 baths and laundry.  Emmanuel was gracious to let us in at 1pm to drop off our stuff. We found the house clean for the most part, but only 1 bath and no laundry!  This was not a major inconvenience, but not what I paid for. We were not informed of the house being remodeled.  The cabinet where the pots were kept was dirty and the bathroom had used soap in the tub.  Also, there were wires sticking out of the wall in the hall. Most of the plugs in the house were 2 prong so we had to get adapters and an extension cord. The walk to the train took every bit of 20 min. The binder of pamphlets with sites to see and directions was helpful. Emmanuel did say he was keeping his car in the garage, of which we heard a few times. But he failed to mention that he was staying in the cellar as well!  After 3 days of running around Boston we figured that out and found it unsettling, but did not have enough time to change our accommodations. AGAIN THIS WAS LISTED AS A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE! That is what I paid for and would not have stayed knowing all this now. We also found the traffic noise was quite excessive, even with the air conditioners running, since you can see a two lane rotary from the front window. It was also hard to sleep hearing the sirens from the ambulances to the hospital 3 blocks away! I would not recommend staying there due to the noise factor and the misrepresentation of this being a single family house.

I spent  three days last weekend at this airbnb, and let me mention, every word that the hostess says about her self and her place, and every word
<br/>in the first ten reviews ( which I read) is true...this is a lovely, comfortable, welcoming place, with a host who truly makes every effort to make you feel at home. It is VERY convenient to public transportation to the center of Boston by subway or bus, VERY convenient to the main commercial vein of Jamaica Plain with its interesting restaurants and shops(on which you will get great advice from the hostess). If you love gardens, oh my, imagine a country garden in the middle of JP. I brought home extra Zucchini after the house refrigerator could not hold all of them any more. The hostess and her significant other are lovely, intelligent, warm, creative people. 
<br/>You really cant go wrong with this Air BnB.

I stayed here for a few days and I really really loved it!! The place was so cozy and perfect. I loved the privacy of the entrance and the quiet neighbourhood. The north end is a beautiful place to stay. Everything is so close by! You can either walk, which doesn't take long at all and is extremely enjoyable or cab which will take 10 mins or less and never costed more than about 10$!! (Usually around 6$ plus tip) :) <br/>Jose/Jason was very responsive whenever I had a question. I loved boston and staying at this place SOO much and I felt totally safe, comfortable and at home. I'm even considering relocating to Boston one day! <br/>It's honestly better than staying at a hotel! I don't think I'll ever look to stay at a hotel again! I recommend that anyone who stays here, takes a walk down to Bova's! Amazing bread and baked goods! Really nice people too! <br/>Great host, GREAT place, great neighbourhood! Oh and the bed was really comfortable!!  I recommend it 110%. Thanks again for everything!! Until next time! :D

For those of you who find this room, you are at the correct spot. Michelle is a great host, great friend. The longer you stay the more you enjoy at Roxbury neighborhood. I stayed for three months at Michelle's place. It was great. 
<br/>You have a full kitchen with all appliances; pots, bottles, glasses, a coffee machine, even a rice cooker. You will have a living room that makes you feel at home, you have an unlimited wi-fi, inhouse washing machine and dryer. 
<br/>All information given by the definition was correct, the house is located 10 minutes walk to a subway station, less than 10 minutes walk to main bus station. I worked at Cambridge, and I was happy to use public transportation.
<br/>I will definitely stop by again whenever I come back to Boston.

Highly recommended accommodation 15 minutes by metro from downtown Boston!
<br/>The house is big but cozy and quaint.
<br/>There are lots of bedrooms but we hardly met the other guests, so privacy is kept.
<br/>Our room was huge, light, clean and nicely furnished and so it's the whole house.
<br/>The kitchen is very well equipped and some basic ingredients for breakfast are provided.
<br/>The host does not (always) live there, so we recommend not arriving too late at night for the check-in.
<br/>Metro station and shopping mall are 5 minutes walking distance but are not very recommendable places to hang around, especially at night.

This apartment is in a great location, and we were happy to be able to walk pretty much everywhere we wanted, including Newbury Street, Boston Commons, and Fenway Park.
<br/>The apartment itself, and our experience with it, was fine overall. It was extremely hot when we got there - thermostat read 87F - which is when we found out that the air conditioning is only in the bedroom (there are 4 of us, so my husband and I slept in the front room, which was not air conditioned). It did take a full day for it to cool off (we went to bed quite hot - therm still said 86), but it cooled off that night and stayed comfortable for the rest of the trip.
<br/>In addition, the management turned off the hot water for a day, which Nat and Kimberly did not know was going to happen. Nat was extremely quick to respond when we let him know, and he ended up offering to reimburse us a bit for our troubles (it was a generous and appreciated offer).
<br/>The furniture was comfortable and the building quiet. The bathroom definitely needs some updating, but the kitchen and living room were just like the pictures, which we found attractive.
<br/>Nat was a great host, responding to every concern and checking in to make sure we were happy.

Elle nous a parlé d’endroits à visiter à Boston et des services près de sa maison. Nous lui avons laissé des billets pour le Museum of Fine Arts et elle nous a proposé des billets pour le Zoo en échange. Un bel endroit calme pour passer quelques jours!

Boston is an unbelievable city and having a quiet room, close to transportation and other amenities was a definite bonus. Lisa and John are both great hosts full of insight and useful tips for getting the most of their trip. Me and a friend stayed with them for three nights and could not have been happier with their hospitality and the room they provided. It can be a little tight for two adults to share the bed, but it was perfect for the two of us who only needed a place to crash when we came back from an eventful day. 
<br/>We really wish we had more time to explore Boston and use a lot of the suggestions Lisa had given us for things to do. All the things she suggested that we did manage to get to were exceptional (got to Mike's Pastry and get the canolis!!!). Boston is a very friendly city with great paths for walking and biking, a solid transportation system, and SO many different and unique things to do. With Lisa as your guide, the only thing you be left wanting is more time!

Overall, we had an average experience. Donna, the woman who takes care of the house was more than helpful the entire time. Somehow, there was a mix up with bookings and we were unable to check in to our room because someone had decided to stay an extra night. Donna quickly got us into another room and even moved our luggage to the room we were supposed to be in the next day. The only other problem we had was a little mouse who ate a bit of some bread that we had in a shopping bag in our room. Donna told us that she was already handling that problem and it should be fixed soon.

The place was great. It was what I expected and more. I knew it was in the heart of the north end, but had no idea it was a step from the Old North Church. That was very cool. There were tons of places to eat and drink within walking distance. Whenever I had a question or concern it was answered almost immediately, which can be very helpful when your new to an area. The apartment itself was perfect. It was air conditioned and had plenty of room. I ended up having some old friends come and visit me in the city, so it was nice to have a place to offer them to crash at. That being said the couch came in handy! On my next trip to Boston I will be contacting thee guys again. Great experience.

This was a very short notice booking, which Xerxes graciously accommodated. His contact leading up-to and during the visit was always immediate, which is appreciated. Being a first time visitor to Boston, the location immediately behind the statehouse was very convenient to all the attractions. The apartment itself was lovely, as seen in the listing photos.

Thomas was a gracious host; I was coming into Boston to see someone through a medical procedure and quite worried, but Thomas was incredibly reassuring, even meeting me at the train station and making sure I got to his place. The room and apartment were beautiful, spacious, and temperate, and the neighborhood was quiet and quaint, just what I needed. I ended up spending a majority of my time and both nights in town at my friend's house for support, but used Thomas' place as a base of operations. He was very clear and trusting with directions for passing off the keys and accommodating with hours. Can't recommend more highly.
<br/>
<br/>His dog is wonderful.

My husband and three-year-old and I had a great 5-week stay at Will and Ella's place in Roslindale. We enjoyed the neighborhood and found it easy to get around using public transportation.
<br/>
<br/>The apt. feels clean and brand new and we enjoyed using the small backyard for eating and playing.

We stayed for two nights in this charming 19th century "mansion" home just a few stops South of downtown on the red line. It's located 1/2 mile walk from the Savin Hill stop in a very safe neighborhood.  The home has multiple rooms available through Airbnb, and I feel that we had the nicest one.  The Carney Family made certain we had what we needed with an extra cot in the room for my son.  Both beds were very comfortable and clean. The pillows were varied in thickness and I was completely happy with their comfort.  The kitchen is stocked with almost everything we needed.  There was a nice selection of morning beverages, muffins (If you wake up early enough to grab one), and cereal.  Anything else you might want (including milk) can be brought in and tagged with convenient stickers to mark them as your own.  I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Barney's wife, but he was very friendly and helped us tremendously with our critical transportation needs.  The home was quiet and felt nice to return to after a long day in the city.  We would certainly stay with the Carneys again when we return to Boston.

It was delightful to stay with A & L. They were engaging and natural in creating a welcome feeling in their home which is lovely just as pictured.  Our time together was limited as we each had full days, but it was nice to return 'home' in the evening and share a bit of our respective day. I enjoyed their personalities very much. All the things you read in the glowing reviews are true. Thank you for opening your home through Airbnb. Marcia

Maria was a great host. She was very kind and understanding and gave good tips about JP and Boston in general. She, her children, and her cat Frankie were very welcoming. The room itself was clean, cozy and well furnished, as was the large private bathroom. She was very accommodating of our needs. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful--lots of large, old houses and tree-lined streets, a lovely place to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city but is still not too far from it. The house is a little far from the nearest T stop (about a 15 minute walk), but other than that, our stay here was great. If I came to Boston again, I would definitely stay with her and I would also recommend her place to anyone.

Gerard and Marie were great hosts who were easily contactable and friendly. The apartment is located in a beautiful part of town and has the convenience of getting to most places in Boston easily. The apartment itself was extremely clean and tidy and the both the sofa bed and double bed comfortable. The outside space was an extra bonus for the good summer evenings!

Emmanuel es una persona muy profesional, además de que tiene la ventaja de que habla varios idiomas (inglés, español, italiano y francés). Nos dio las indicaciones necesarias para llegar a la casa y fue un excelente anfitrión. La descripción del anuncio es correcta. La casa está ubicada en un barrio hermoso, y además, está  muy cerca de la ciudad de Boston (10-20 minutos en automóvil del Museo de las Bellas Artes, el Fenway Park, Cambridge o Harvard). Estuvimos muy contentos en la propiedad.

Très beau et confortable appartement en RDC à quelques minutes du plein centre de Boston. (seul bémol le stationnement d'une voiture qui dans la rue est impossible, parking autour à 35 $ en moyenne par jour).
<br/>L'appartement est très propre, silencieux et les propriétaires très attentifs le laisse à disposition comme s'ils allaient recevoir des amis. Donc une très grosse confiance dont on a envie de se montrer digne en respectant les lieux. Je recommande chaudement.

Rebecca was a lovely host.  Her calm disposition made for a very relaxing environment at the home.  She was extremely knowledgeable about Boston and the surrounding areas and how to navigate whether by foot, public transportation or car.  Our room was quite comfortable and just as described...even lending itself to a little more space than expected.  The neighborhood was quiet and the easy parking was a bonus with having had a car.  We truly enjoyed our stay at Rebecca's.

My parents were visiting me in Boston, so I was looking for a place in my neighborhood (the North End) for them to stay. This was perfect for them!!! It was on the first floor, which is a big deal in the north end, because many of the apartment buildings have very steep, narrow staircases that are difficult to lug suitcases up. The apartment itself was as described. It had a nice little patio in the back. The only thing my parents mentioned is that they wished there was a TV and coffee in the morning, but that's no big deal. Overall it served it's purpose well.

Tom was away canoeing for the weekend when we stayed, so unfortunately we didn't get to meet him. He certainly made the place comfortable and inviting for us, and he kept in touch with us throughout our stay, to make sure we were ok. We would definitely recommend other people to stay with him.

Samantha's place was a dream in every respect. She was very responsive to my emails/texts and the key exchange was flawless. To describe the apartment as cozy is selling it short. It is cozy but not in any sort of cramped way. Both the living room and the bedroom are more spacious than most Boston hotel rooms. The coziness comes from the furnishings and the homey atmosphere. The kitchen, although small, has a brand new stainless steel fridge and Sam left us coffee and other goodies to use freely. The neighborhood is half elegant Beacon Hill and half fun-loving West End. There are lots of cool restaurants within not much more than a stone's throw and, yes, there IS a Whole Foods within a 2 minute walk. I cannot recommend Samantha's place highly enough. If you arrive by car there are several parking garages nearby, including one adjacent to Whole Foods.

We found Nik to be very pleasant, helpful on arrival and on call if needed. (Molly was on working vacation, so we did not get to meet her.)
<br/>
<br/>The directions to the house were very clear and easy to manage from the train. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful. Yet, still in walking distance to the trains and shops to access food.
<br/>
<br/>The house has character and the room is what we paid for. Comfortable bed, towels, closet for hanging clothes and has strong wifi.
<br/>
<br/>We were welcome to use all areas of the apartment and in saying so the house is well equipped with kitchen resources.
<br/>
<br/>The train system in Boston is very easy. While it maybe a 20 minute travel time to the house it was very well worth it. To get away from city life and have a peaceful and enjoyable stay.
<br/>
<br/>Would we stay here again, Yes!

O.my.word....what a perfect location for our first time visit to Boston!! So enjoyed being able to stay right in the heart of the northern end Italian district! We were a party of 5 adults and found the apartment exactly as described. Very comfortable beds to return to after miles of walking, exploring the city. Close to fabulous restaurants!! Very accessible to "T." Hosts were extremely helpful and responsive.

Jose was absolutely excellent at dealing with any enquiries I had, big or small, and replied very promptly. He also sent on information regarding the apartment well in advance, so we knew what what happening many weeks before we arrived in Boston.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment itself is in a fantastic location, the North End really was spectacular and I wouldn't mind living there myself! It is such a quaint part of town, and has many beautiful food spots to keep you full.
<br/>The apartment is spacious (especially the bedroom), very clean and is more than enough for two people to live in. It has a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower/bath combo and the air conditioning is fab on a hot day.
<br/>
<br/>Overall, the apartment was fantastic, in a prime, safe location, Jose was brilliant and my partner and I absolutely loved our stay, and would not hesitate to return.
<br/>
<br/>Thank you for making our visit to Boston memorable, Jose!

The house was in good condition with plenty of space for the two of us, and the location was perfect due to the short distance to the closest subway station. We only stayed in the house to sleep since we were finding things to do the whole days in the center of Boston. This meant that we did not use the kitchen (more than for our morning coffee), but we found it convinient to use the washing machine in the basement before leaving for our road trip to New York. Two thumbs up!
<br/>
<br/>Unfortunately, we did not meet the hosts more than when retrieving and leaving the key (since we had no trouble nor questions), but they seamed nice from the start :)

A&L are gracious and busy hosts. Their home is on a very quiet street in JP and a short walk to lots of amenities -- parks, restaurants, shopping, grocery, bus and T stops. The room is very private on the third floor with lots of space to relax. It is light filled, as described -- didn't bother us at all in the morning. Private bath had a wonderful whirlpool tub to relax in with a separate standup shower.
<br/>Morning breakfast was available for us to put together at our leisure -- loved the croissants!!
<br/>This home is perfectly situated for all Boston has to offer. We really enjoyed our mini-vacation and would recommend this home to anyone.

The apartment was exactly as the online photos depicted. Very comfortable with plenty of room, plus a complete kitchen with all the amenities. We were visiting our son who is a student in the area and my wife was thrilled to be able to prepare a home cooked meal for him. And we just loved staying in Beacon Hill.  Very convenient location, with a short walk to either the Park Street or Bowdoin (which directly connects to the airport) T stops. There’s a convenience store at the end of the block and a Whole Foods market and liquor store another block away. Xerxes was very friendly, helpful with suggestions and especially accommodating with our need for flexible check-in/check-out times. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

Our hosts had a lovely little apartment in North End, right next to the old church.  I don't think location can get any better.

I spontaneously decided to spend some days in Boston and asked Rosalia to stay at her place. She immediately answered and accepted my request. Rosalia is very friendly and just a great host - we had nice conversations and she gave me tips about the places I should see in Boston and even for my following stays in NYC and Miami. The room (also the entire apartment) is very comfortable and clean. I absolutely recommend Rosalia's place.

Had a wonderful stay at Mark and Cindy's superb condo. Smack bang in the midst of the North End Italian quarter of Boston and just a minutes walk from the freedom trail. Just about everything is walkable from here.<br/>Loved the atmosphere of the area with everyone (we met) really friendly. Breakfast at the little cafe round the corner was excellent, we went 3 times! Frequented the coffee shop, the best burger place in boston and even used the launderette all no more than a couple of minutes walk.<br/>The condo is tucked away and quiet despite being so well situated. Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, 11 and 9) fitted in really well and made good use of the wifi and tv when we weren't out and about. <br/>After a long day travelling it was a welcome surprise to find a bottle of wine on the kitchen table! Really indicative of the efforts Mark and Cindy go to make your stay a great one. We wouldn't change a thing and would love to come back one day!

The apartment is located in an ideal area of Boston, within a short walking distance of all of Boston's treasures. The apartment is not overly large but is well furnished and fits 4 with no problems. My kids had no complaints about the pull-out sofa, which is rare. The bed is comfy, the bathroom functional. We barely used the kitchen but it looked perfect for short stays. The apartment faces the street (3rd floor) so some noise in the morning reminded us that we lived downtown. Unbelievable rooftop patio with 360 views of the Boston skyline. Our car was parked for the duration of the stay and we used public transportation and walked across town. Boston has a human feeling to it, unlike NY. The building is secured by a concierge, even late at night. There is a convenience store downstairs and Whole Foods within 5min walking distance. You will love your stay as much as us, we guarantee it!

I stayed here with my two teenage sons this month, and really loved the apartment. I met Terry during the stay, as he stopped in to say hello since we missed each other at check-in. The apartment was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and convenient to downtown Boston.  Walkable to the Museum of Fine Arts, and Fenway Park, as well as a quick 5 minute walk to the train at Roxbury Crossing.  I didn't use my car at all during the stay.  Quiet neighborhood, with parking.  Kids liked that there was WiFi. I liked that the parking and WiFi were free.  In comparing a stay at a downtown hotel, where parking and WiFi were extra per day, this was an easy decision. Having a whole apartment to relax in was much more comfortable than a hotel room.  I have recommended the place to a friend visiting next year.

My wife and I stayed at the Carney’s house in Savin Hill in “Barney’s Master Bedroom” for 4 nights at the beginning of August.  Barney and Mary were extremely welcoming, and gave us a great restaurant recommendation when we got into town late on Saturday. The Carney’s provided us with a comfortable bed, bathrobes, slippers, fresh fruit, and Barney’s delicious homemade muffins every morning.  To say they met and exceeded our expectations is an understatement.  The house is beautiful, in a safe neighbourhood and a 7-10 minute walk to the T (red line).  Great location for going downtown, Cambridge, the Kennedy Library and Museum, and really any place you want to go in Boston.  This was our first Airbnb experience, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.  Thanks to Mary and Barney for everything, we had a fantastic stay and will come back the next time we’re in Boston!

Very nice place situated in Dorchester, really next to Boston. The house is big, luminous, the room B that I occupied with my mother was large and comfortable.
<br/>Hermina's help, Donna, was there when we arrived and she explained us our room and the rules of the house.
<br/>We had everything for breakfast, fruits, cereals, jam, coffee, tea ... 
<br/>
<br/>The location of the house is very convenient because the "T", the Boston metro, is at 5min walk. Within a few minutes, we are in the center of Boston.
<br/>Careful though, the neighborhood is fine by day but at night, don't hang around.
<br/>
<br/>Finally, we had a wonderful stay in Hermina's house and we definitely recommend it.

Larry and Anna's apartment is a nice place within an old building, very well situated in the very heart of Boston, one window on the street, the other on a terrace and trees.<br/>Travel books and soothing music CDs, clean, green and well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed in a beautiful little room all make this place special.<br/>The two nice old cats are quite friendly, and scooping their poo everyday is not a problem, the house being well organized in that matter. The peeing is a bit more difficult to be ignored, with a strong smell in the bathroom, whose door has to be kept open, for the cats. (I do solve this in my home by having the cat's litter box on the terrace).<br/>Communication was easy with the owners, although they were both out of town, and we were welcomed by a gentle neighbor. <br/>As requested, we sent regularly pictures of the cats: maybe due to the heat, it seems that a Bostonian cat's best position is lying on the back!

It has two cozy and comfy bedrooms, a spacious loving room with extremely comfy couches, and a surprisingly large kitchen.

All in all we had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again on a return trip. Thanks Gerard and Marie.

Jennifer made us very welcome to her home which is large and comfortable.

<br/>We had driven from New York and found the house easy to find (using the GPS) and there was plenty of parking in the street outside.
<br/>
<br/>The address is also within walking distance to the commuter train into Boston (4 stops) and to the Roslindale Village that has a limited number of eating options.
<br/>
<br/>Our room was large and the home was very relaxed and a nice place to stay.
<br/>
<br/>Jennifer was in the process of getting her son off to college and had to leave early on 2 mornings of our stay but made sure we knew where things were, and we were comfortable to look after ourselves.

Breakfast is provided for the guests and Barney bakes fresh muffins everyday. We could meet Barney at night and he gave us really good suggestions on where to see, eat, etc. there is also a nice lady who takes care of cleaning (unfortunately I don't remember her name) that gave us a ride to show around the place. Actually everything was beyond our expectation, we enjoyed a lot our stay in Boston. Don't doubt to push the book button!

The description is completely correct - this studio is gorgeous. As studios go, it's giant. As far as location, it's perfect. Charlestown is just over the river from Boston "proper", within easy walking distance. But in return for that slightly longer walk, you get an amazing level of peace and quiet that's unmatched anywhere else in the city. The studio is well equipped with cooking supplies, the shower is excellent, the bed is comfortable and it's roomy. The only thing I can even slightly complain about is that there's not a great deal of natural light in the apartment for most of the day (it's open to the garden at one end, but the other is below street level - there's two sidewalk-level windows), but there's still no feeling of darkness. I'd gladly stay here again. And again.

Nice place to stay for the price. It was a little far from the airport with all our luggage so it cost about $80 to get there & back with a taxi.  If you're able to take the train though, it seems like an easy route as the instructions from host are very clear. The area felt safe, it was right next to police station.

We absolutely loved our Stay at Trisha's place. It was in the perfect location to both explore Boston and to feel part of the local Italian culture. The apartment itself was clean, fully furnished and quiet. We all slept really well and had everything we needed to feel right at home.  I have already recommended her place to 2 friends and will continue to do so for anyone travelling to Boston.  Thanks Trisha.

Joe's apartment was just as we expected. The only surprise was that the bedroom was between the living and kitchen, but it was not a problem.
<br/>It was a lovely area, and very quiet.
<br/>Its an old house, filled with period furniture, and very few mod cons, but we liked it that way. The lovely big sleigh bed, which he told us he rescued from being thrown out, was extremely comfortable.
<br/>Joe loves to talk, and we enjoyed listening to his stories. We wanted to a visit a cemetery, and he gave us a lift there, and also took us to the airport on the day we left.
<br/>We got talking about family, (my hobby is genealogy) and I ended up volunteering to research his family tree.
<br/>All in all, Joe was was a very good host, and we would recommend him to other couples looking for accommodation in Boston.
<br/>
<br/>By the time we left we felt like we had made a new friend.

This was the first time my boyfriend and I had ever used Airbnb and we both agree that it was a wonderful experience. While we were on the hunt for lodging, we took other's reviews into consideration and Thomas had very good ones. He was a very gracious host and really easy to get along with. He was also quick to respond to emails and texts as well as gave us some great suggestions on things to do/what was going on in town while we were there. He is a very genuine guy and didn't ever make us feel awkward or uncomfortable in any way. 
<br/>
<br/>The place had a lovely Boston charm and there weren't any unexpected surprises not listed on the website. One could take a bus from the subway to a stop about two blocks away from his house, but it was only a 12-15minute walk to the station. 
<br/>
<br/>Even though we only stayed for three nights and weren't there most of the day, we cooked dinner at Thomas's house twice. Everything worked well and was easy to find-- just make sure to not put food down the drain because there isn't a garbage disposal. 
<br/>
<br/>Tom has a dog named Wonder and she is adorable. "Give her a treat and you'll have a friend forever" was what we were told and it was true. She barked as us when we first arrived, as expected, but then she didn't bark at us again. She really is a great dog. 
<br/>
<br/>Needless to say, we would stay at Tom's again if we ever find ourselves in Boston.

Stacey is such a gracious host. I was sad to leave her warm and welcoming hospitality. I felt at home with Stacey in the big city of Boston. The walk to Ashmont Station for the T was easy and did not take long. 
<br/>
<br/>I 100% recommend you stay for Stacey's breakfast and dinner. You can taste the love in each bite! Look her up at http://www.soulfusion.co/. The food was just as amazing and creative as Stacey is. 
<br/>
<br/>I would definitely stay with Stacey again!

Rosalia was a wonderful host for my mother for 3 nights as she visited us and our newborn. We are also Charlestown residents and given our limited space, wanted a convenient, safe and comfy spot for my Mom to stay. Rosalia's condo fit the bill. My mother had nothing but great things to say.
<br/>
<br/>I myself had the opportunity to meet Rosalia and she was gracious and inviting, making my mother feel right at home.
<br/>
<br/>For anyone thinking of visiting Boston, I would highly recommend a stay with Rosalia. Her listing is close to everything in historic Charlestown and very convenient to Downtown.

Beautiful house, superb location, Emmanuels description is spot on although I think he forgot to mention the large back garden and porch to sit out on at night. Emmanuel patiently waited for us on the day of our arrival, despite us being late, thanks to a long queue at the Airport Car Rental, and showed us around the house.  We, that is a family of 4 adults from England, stayed for a week and wished we had stayed longer. The house is in a perfect location, the Orange line to Boston is about 15/20mins walk or 5 mins in the car, parking at the station is $8 per day and the Interstates to all over New England are also close by. The house is spotless and spacious, has 3 good sized double bedrooms and now has 2 bathrooms and Emmanuel is in the near future having a washer/dryer fitted, probably the only thing lacking when we were there, but he did help us out, thanks for that Emmanuel. There were cereals and coffee in the kitchen which has a large fridge/freezer and a huge restaurant size cooker, there are also plenty of pans, plates, cups, cutlery. Jamaica Plain is a very nice area, with the Arboretum  across the the road and the Lake a short walk away. The area felt very safe and we walked around day and night. Centre St is where the shops and Restaurants are, this is also only a short walk. We ate at Canary Square and tried the Ice Cream at JP Licks, both very nice. We also tried Harrys All American Diner for breakfast, well worth a visit, it is just past Weld St towards W Roxbury Parkway.
<br/>
<br/>The house is perfect for a young family or group of adults, is only 20 mins from the airport,  has easy access to local transport and we would not hesitate in returning.

Excellent location, within walking distance from shops and restaurants, in a very nice neighborhood.  The apartment was very cosy, good for two people, but a bit small for four, as the sofa bed in the living room was a bit uncomfortable for two adults and there was no dining area. The apartment was a bit dated, but overall a good experience.

I had a wonderful time in Boston, mostly because of the location of the flat. Almost everything is within a walking distance. It is a spacious and clean apartment in the old part of the north end. Easily can hosts a couple.  Located on a high ground floor but next to a quiet street so it is calm and quiet. Flat looks like on the pictures which is cool. There are cafes bars restaurants and groceries around.
<br/>In the flat there are towels and bed linen to use. 
<br/>
<br/>I did not meet the owner but I did not need to do it.

We had a wonderful stay in Kristina's studio in JP! Kristina was super responsive and helpful from the day we inquired about booking and was able to accommodate our request to arrive a little early. We live in NYC, so when we come to Boston for vacation we like to stay in JP because it is so relaxing and beautiful while being an easy T ride into the city. Kristina's studio was just that -- the perfect place to relax after spending the day out and about. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here on our next trip to Boston! Thanks!

Enorme déception ! Personne à l'arrivée, logés dans un sous-bassement avec seulement une petite lucarne et tous les bruits de tuyauterie de toilettes de toutes les chambres. La maison de la photo est coupée en deux avec chacune salon, salle à manger trois chambres à l'étage et une au sous-sol donc en tout 8 chambres ! Ce n'est pas ma conception B&B. En plus le quartier n'est pas top (regardez sur Internet)
<br/>
<br/>Huge disappointment! Nobody was there when we arrived, the flat is underground with only a small window and we were hearing noises coming from the pipes of all the toilets of the house. The house on the picture is cut in 2 with in both parts: living room, dining room and 3 bedrooms upstairs. This brings to 8 the number of bedrooms with the 2 underground! It is not my vision of B&B. Moreover, the neighborhood is not great (check on internet).

Nous avons trouvé facilement l'appartement. Celui-ci est situé dans un quartier sympa, animé sans être trop bruyant. beaucoup de restaurants et de petites supérettes.

<br/>seul bémol, il n'y a pas de métro pour le centre de Boston dans le North End. C'est pas grave on marche dans ces cas là.
<br/>L'appartement correspondait parfaitement aux photos.
<br/>un seul regret le ménage ! l'appartement était sale !  j'ai du faire le ménage dans la cuisine, et les sols méritaient bien un coup d'aspirateur aussi mais il n'y en avait pas. j'ai retrouvé sur le sol dans la chambre une gélule de médicament ! ! ! ce qui est loin de m'avoir plus car nous étions avec une petite fille d'à peine 2 ans ! elle aurait pu l'avaler.
<br/>en terme de vaisselle, seulement 2 assiettes et pas de petites cuillères.

We throughly enjoyed our three night stay with the Carney's. The house is beautiful and wonderfully maintained and very local to a metro station which can take you easily in and out of Boston city centre. The house essentially backs onto the beach and is a short walk from a few very good restaurants if you prefer to stay local. Mary was very communicative before and during our stay and made us feel very welcome. The Carney's provided us with a relaxing space to come back to after a day in the city centre. We had a great stay and couldn't recommend it more

Stacy was a wonderful host. From the initial inquiry to checking us in and throughout our stay, she was always available to answer our questions. She is extremely personable, welcoming, and accommodating. Her house was exactly as advertised, very comfortable, spacious, and well furnished. It easily accommodated our party of seven adults. Some of the high-end amenities (e.g., gourmet kitchen, comfortable and well-equipped family/media room, wireless sound system. etc.) made our stay even more enjoyable. The information packet provided, with tips for using the house amenities, as well as great suggestions for what the neighborhood had to offer was very useful and much appreciated. The neighborhood was terrific, quiet, within easy walking distance from downtown Boston, safe, and teaming with restaurants, coffee shops, boutique shops, and an organic grocery store. Parking could be an issue so this should be a consideration for those with a car. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend Stacy's home to other airbnb travelers.

The description of the place is accurate. It is a great location, right in the middle of the north end. Both the building and the apartment are old and a bit run down.

This is a great place to stay!
<br/>We spent 8 nights at the Rosenbergs, and had a very good experience.
<br/>The rooms were cosy and with a lot of space. They are located on the upper floor of the house so you have your privacy during the stay.
<br/>Mrs. Rosenberg took care of everything! She was more than just helpful and we felt like old friends or family members. She treated us more than just a host.
<br/>The unit includes 2 rooms, one of them with private shower and toilets. In between, there's a small living room where you can have a breakfast, which was actually supplied by the host!
<br/>If you have children- this is a very good place for you! The Rosenbergs have everything you need, including toys!
<br/>The location is good enough- just few minutes walk from the T train.
<br/>Few things you should know, which are not a badfeedback but just an info:
<br/>The rooms are on the upper floor, so if you have any difficulties, you should care about this.
<br/>There is no double bad- so if you are a couple and care about it, you should be aware.
<br/>For us, it was not a big deal and we did not feel it as a disadvantage.
<br/>The bottom line- if we will return to Boston again, we would probably stay at the same place.
<br/>
<br/>בעברית:
<br/>המקום מאוד מומלץ. משפחת רוזנברג מארחת למופת. 
<br/>גב' רוזנברג עשתה עבורנו מעל ומעבר, דברים שהם מעבר למה שהייתם מצפים, ועל כן תודתנו והערכתנו.
<br/>החדרים מרווחים ונוחים, הניקיון נשמר במהלך השהות, המגבות מוחלפות לאחר מספר ימים.
<br/>בין החדרים יש חלל פתוח המהווה מעין חדר אוכל לאורחים, הכולל מקרר קטן, שולחן וכסאות. גב' רוזנברג דאגה באופן קבוע לאוכל ושתיה עבורנו, גם אם לא הייתה ממש חייבת.
<br/>המיקום בסה"כ טוב. אם אתם מחפשים דירה במרכז העיר, כמובן שזה לא המקום עבורכם, אך אם אתם מחפשים מקום מרווח, במיקום נוח ובמחיר סביר- זה המקום עבורכם.
<br/>המקום מומלץ מאוד למשפחות עם ילדים- אחד מ-2 החדרים כולל מיטות נוער ותינוק, והמון צעצועים ומשחקי ילדים.
<br/>2 פרטים שחשוב שתדעו מראש, על מנת לתאם ציפיות:
<br/>החדר הזוגי כולל מיטה נפתחת ולא מיטה זוגית.
<br/>החדרים נמצאים בקומה השניה של הבית.
<br/>לנו זה לא הפריע, היתרונות היון גלומים בפרטיות ובשקט שעמד לרשותנ ובמהלך השהייה.
<br/>לסיכום- אם היינו חוזרים שוב לבוסטון, כנראה שהיינו מתארחים שוב אצל משפחת רוזנברג.

It was a pleasure to stay here.<br/>Jessica is a very friendl<br/>y and helpful host. The house is perfectly located to explore Boston and Dorchester, it's 5 min by foot from the subway station, which is 4-6 stops away from the city center. If you have a car and a will to explore small towns near Boston the house location would be suitable  for this too. It seems it's a safe place to return late at night. <br/>The house looks cosy,  the guest area has enough space inside as well as outside, a huge plus of guest area  is an ability to have your tea, breakfast or any time meal outside on the deck surrounded by trees; there are the equipped non-shared kitchen in the guest area and an access to the shared laundry facilities inside the house. There is not a lot of free space in the street to park your car at night, but there is a chance to find the place; the day time parking is without any problem.  <br/>On the way from the house to the subway station there are located some supermarkets, a pizzeria and an Indian restaurant, another local cosy restaraunt is located approx opposite the subway station. The car rental Hertz is approx  15 min walking distance from the house.<br/>So the house and area around it has almost everything more actual for a traveller. Jessica is the highly recommended host and the house is the highly recommended place to stay in and to explore Boston.<br/>

Thomas replied very quickly to all of our messages, eve sending an alternative driving route because it was raining heavily on the day of our arrival. Tom is a great host, welcoming us together with wonder, his dog. We had a couple of drinks on the first night and got some nice insights about Boston and the USA. The house is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and is spacious and nicely decorated.Parking was no problem. Our room was nice, clean and air conditioned. We stayed for two nights and felt at home straight away.Tom left us breakfast and we made our own coffee. Tom allowed us to pick our luggage on the evening of  the checkout date, which came in very handy because of our late flight. Public transport is close by. A great place to stay when visiting Boston. We recommend it!

Cindy and Mark's place is in an ideal location : a quiet street in the lively North End, right on the Freedom Trail and a short walk to the Waterfront. The furnishings, equipment, linens etc. are all top quality. Cindy and Mark were extremely helpful and always available to answer our questions. We would definitely recommend this condo. Many thanks Cindy and Mark!

<br/>Sa maison est super sans aucune mauvaise surprise, c'est exactement à l'image des photos : spacieuse, belle, lumineuse, très bien équipée, haut de gamme et hyper propre et l'emplacement dans South Boston vraiment agréable.
<br/>Meri est toujours très disponible et répond très rapidement à toutes les questions, ces conseils à dispositions dans la maison et sur airbnb sont très précieux.
<br/>Nous recommandons hautement sa maison!

Nous sommes arrivés trop tard pour pouvoir rencontrer Katy. Dommage, car nous avons eu d'excellents contacts par mail et par textos. Katy s'est montrée très compréhensive: un de nos enfants étant allergique aux poils de chats, ces derniers n'étaient pas là pendant notre séjour. A notre arrivée, nous avons eu la bonne surprise de trouver cerises, cookies et boissons fraiches à notre disposition.
<br/>La maison correspond parfaitement à la description et aux photos. Donc maison très belle, très agréable, spacieuse, bien équipée et très bien entretenue avec une propreté irréprochable.
<br/>Le quartier est résidentiel, très calme.
<br/>Que du positif!

Ideally located for visitors wanting to experience the historic north end. Close to train station and city centre. Lots of places to eat nearby, a must if you're an Italian fan! No tv but this isn't a problem if you're on hols. Didn't use the kitchen etc but looked fairly well stocked. <br/>Host was great at keeping in touch, and giving me further details.

I decided on very short notice to stay in Charleston to visit a friend for a couple of days. Rosalia was quick to respond and very easy going. When I arrived, Rosalia was very welcoming and we talked about this and that. Overall, the stay was a very pleasant experience and the apartment and room were clean, just as I expected after reading all the positive previous reviews. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Charleston.

We just spent one night but wish we could have stayed longer. Very comfortable and clean apt.  We were bringing our daughter back to college close to Boston so it gave us a great opportunity to spend a night in the heart of the city with her  and get a feel for her new location.  It is in a wonderful location, steps away from the Freedom Trail and beside some wonderful restaurants.    Jose also helped us with parking which made our stay SO much more comfortable and he was very available for any questions over the phone.

The location of the apartment is really great.  Nestled amongst the charm of the North End and all the historical buildings, it is very convenient to get around.  The flat itself offers all the amenities needed to allow you to spend your time as a local.  Full kitchen so you can buy and cook for yourself should you decide not to eat and one of the many restaurants in the neighborhood.  I would definitely rebook for another holiday.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marie and Gerard. They were very accommodating and even allowed us to drop off our luggage early before check-in time. Once we checked in, a few more of my relatives stopped by the condo to wait until their hotel was ready that afternoon. Marie and Gerard met my relatives and made them feel welcomed.  The condo was very clean and comfortable.  I would highly recommend this location for anyone visiting the area.  I would also love to come back again to get to see more of the city when I'd have more time.  this was a weekend family wedding trip, so I didn't have much time to see much of the city.  Marie and Gerard were really great hosts.  They thought of everything that we might possibly need. The neighborhood was really nice and easy to navigate around.

Jose was very communicative and helpful before we arrived and the instructions for locating the apartment and key were very simple.  The apartment location is fantastic since it is close to T lines and the Amtrak station.  We were in Boston during the summer and got lucky with the weather so did not need the AC but it was there if we had needed it.  The kitchen is limited so this apartment is perfect for those that are out and about in the city, eating lunch and dinner out, and just need a home base without all the comforts of home.  I would stay here again and would recommend the apartment to others, depending on their needs.  Thank you!

Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour chez la famille Carney. C’est une très belle maison, spacieuse et bien située. Le quartier était tranquille et nous étions à moins de dix minutes environ d’une station de métro sur la ligne rouge. Nous avons discuté et déjeuné avec d’autres voyageurs, ce qui était intéressant. Des céréales, du yogourt et des muffins faits maison sont fournis le matin. La femme de ménage nous a guidées pour nous rendre au métro à notre arrivée et était bien gentille. Nous n’avons pas vraiment eu l’occasion de discuter avec les hôtes, sauf pour savoir où déplacer notre voiture dans leur stationnement et à notre départ. Nous avons aussi apprécié avoir un coffret de sécurité dans la chambre, ce qui était une sécurité supplémentaire pour nos effets personnels de valeur. Le seul petit détail négatif : on nous a demandé de quitter un peu plus tôt que prévu notre chambre afin d’y faire le ménage pour les prochains invités.

<br/>We enjoyed our stay at Carney’s house. The place was beautiful, and the location was near a T station. We had the chance to discuss with others guests and eat breakfast (and the homemade muffins!) with them. The maid was very kind with us and guided us when we arrived. The room also had a safety locker that was very practical. The only detail: we were asked to check out the room as soon as possible the morning for the cleaning service, but it was an hour before the check out time.

When we arrived in Boston we met a very nice man named Ralph outside the apartment with the keys. The apartment looked very nice just like in the pictures and the view was beautiful. It's a great place to stay if you love walking around in Boston, many great restaurants nearby and not far to go shopping. Would definitely stay at his place again.

This is literally right in the heart of it all! Right in the middle of the freedom trail walk, which is a great activity to do while in Boston. Great food is all around. The space is neat, clean and comfortable. Be aware that if you plan on changing check out times to later in the day that they have a cleaning service at 11am. They accidentally threw out our food that we were bringing back to our family as a gift; however they did retrieve it and bring it back to us before we left.  Overall a great experience and I would stay there again.

The directions to the studio apartment were detailed, easily understood and accurate.  We were totally pleased with the place.  It was very quiet,  very clean and spacious.  It is quite dark given that all the buildings in the area are very close together, but the location is superb; literally just up the street from the Old North Church and around the corner from countless fine restaurants.  The area felt very safe, interesting, and quiet
<br/>Jose was very kind to let us stay a couple of extra hours while we were awaiting a phone call to confirm an appointment before we left the city, which was enormously helpful.  If we come back to Boston, we will certainly book reservations here if  possible.

Jose's apartment was in a fantastic position - right on the Freedom Trail and within easy walking distance to the harbour and great shopping areas. The apartment is well designed, spacious and filled with light from all directions. The bedroom is large and the bed very comfortable. We just had an issue with the bathroom, which would benefit from some refurbishment. There is a tile missing near the shower and this seemed to cause a damp smell that was off putting. Some basic utensils eg. Plates and coffee cups were not provided, which was an inconvenience. If these two issues were sorted out, we would recommend staying there in future.

This is a wonderful place if you want a feeling of coming back to your parents home.  The Rosenbergs reminded me a lot of my own grandparents/parents.  They had milk in the fridge for me and the simple breakfast cereals.  If you are looking for a fancy place, this is not what you will find.  What you find is simple, quiet, and a good place to sleep. 
<br/>The only problem you may have is the access to subway.  I had a car but not sure how one would do to walk to the subway stations) - However there are buses all over and it is very convenient to get to places with bus.

The location is quiet in a private court. Condo's description is fine and in line with our expectations. For sure, if we were to come back to Boston, we would ask Cindy and Mark for their condo first!

We really appreciated being able to ask Terry questions and all the Boston information that was available.

<br/>We were visiting our son who is attending MIT and while the apartment was not close to that campus, it was in a location that allowed us to sample the flavor of several Boston neighborhoods.

She responds quickly to email and makes your stay comfortable without disturbing privacy.  We didn't see Maria Elena during this visit (she lives downstairs) but she was readily available if we needed anything.  5 stars, highly recommended.

My first and most satisfied Airbnb experience. Mary and Barney made our trip and stay easy and comfort. The house is only several minutes' walk from the metro station. Pretty inside and out. The room is spacious and most lovely. And we enjoyed the view of the beach just at the back of the house. Definitely worth the price.

L'appartement est très bien situé et le check-in et check-out sont très simples, José est arrangeant.
<br/>L'appartement est confortable mais nous étions 3 est le matériel disponible (draps, tasses etc.) ne l'était que pour deux personnes, ce qui était un peu embêtant!
<br/>
<br/>Nous avons quand même passé un bon séjour grâce à cet appartement.

This was a great place to stay. Everything was as described. We stayed for 6 nights with our 2 teenagers. We were made to feel quite welcome. The place was quite roomy and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again. 
<br/>This is located in a wonderful neighborhood. We enjoyed exploring JP. The public transit is very close as well.

This IS such a sweet little house! I fell in love with the character and artistic atmosphere. And Hilary and Hazel were great hosts. Hilary was more than willing to suggest local places to go and some of the most underrated things to see in Boston. The room was small but cozy, and actually just perfect for travelers who just need a place to sleep. Jamaica Plain is such an awesome neighborhood, which I never would have discovered had we stayed in touristy downtown. This price is a steal for the all around lovely experience we had.

I enjoyed staying in Anne's apartment.  It is spacious, clean, on a quiet street and in short walking distance from the Longwood medical area where I need to be.  Anne is very friendly and accommodating host and I would certainly stay in her apartment again.  Thank you.

It was very nice being able to stay at Hermina's place.  She wasn't there, but we knew that in advance, and that was ok.  The room was ready and clean and everything was organized.  The house has, I think, 6 separate rooms for guests, and we ran into several other guests in the common areas at various times -- all really nice people.  (by the way, no air-con, but we were ok with the ceiling fan and a small fan in the window...)
<br/>
<br/>Dorchester has not-the-greatest reputation and the neighborhood could make someone nervous, but we felt fine at the house itself (next to the police station and across from a Buddhist center.)
<br/>
<br/>The only "negative" was that breakfast supplies get set out the day before in the kitchen by Hermina's friend Donna (we didn't meet her but had contact via text message.)  Apparently the food and coffee she had set out prior to our arrival was almost completely consumed by the various guests before the morning of our first breakfast.  (no milk, no bread, no fruit, no coffee, no yogurt, no juice...)  That was kind of a drag.  It was great that the kitchen was available for everyone and that there were spices and condiments and basic ingredients there.  And I can understand that having a stock of 10 cans of coffee in the cupboard would be an invitation for people to take a can with them... but there ought to be some way to "budget" breakfast items so that they don't run out.  Anyway, tip to future guests: scope out the kitchen when you arrive and contact Donna immediately if supplies are low.  Or plan to eat out in the morning.  
<br/>
<br/>Even if there was no breakfast included, this would be a great place to stay... as long as you are aware of the situation...  We would definitely recommend.

The house and the room were very nicely decorated. The room was spacious. One thing that made me uncomfortable was the requirement not to wear shoes in the house. One should at least be able to wear flip flops, which wouldn't damage the floors. The house seems to function like a self-regulated guest house, and not like a private residence. I would have liked to know this in advance, or that this had been made explicit in the ad.

Our stay at Barney's was by far the best we've had through airbnb. Everything little detail was accommodating, from the rolled up towels on our bed to the muffins Barney baked for us in the mornings. The location was superb as well. My mother and brother both commented that this felt like a second home :)

Tim was a wonderful host! His communication was on point, reaching out to us in advance to make sure we were all set and sending very detailed notes about how to use everything in his apartment. The location was great - wonderful neighborhood in the South End, within very close proximity to Copley Square and the shops on Newbury St. Plus it was only a 15-minute drive from the airport. We'd definitely recommend Tim's place for your stay in Boston.

We so enjoyed our visit to North Boston and our stay here. Jose was very responsive, available and answered our questions. Jason's father happened to be entering the building just as we arrived, helped us with our lockbox, and was very welcoming.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment was just as described, clean and comfortable. There were plugs available for two computers, 2 phone and 1 iPhone charger. Probably more, but that's all we needed.
<br/>
<br/>There were so many restaurants and we walked everywhere. We will definitely come back here again if in this part of Boston. Though we weren't aware it was a 4th floor walk up, we didn't mind, as it was just great to come home after a long day.

I travel up to MA for work quite a bit and so far this was my best AirBnB experience. Jennifer is genuinely kind, a great conversationalist and has a very bright personality and this shines throughout her very unique home. She has done quite a bit of  cutom architecture design to improve the look and feel of her home and she goes out of her way to make you feel like her home is your own.  I really felt comfortable staying here, it was as if Jennifer was a distant cousin or Aunt I had not yet met. She even went out of her way to make me some delicious coffee in the morning as I was leaving for work. There is a bus stop right at the end of her street for very convenient access to the T. The commuter rail is only a few blocks away as well. If you stay here make sure to visit Roslindale Village for great food, shopping and just a good old fashioned walk. I loved the neighborhood and I would highly recommend staying here. I know I will be booking with Jennifer again!

It was wonderful staying here. Loved the neighbourhood and the homey feel of the place. Barney and Mary are helpful with recommendations of things to do in the city and very accommodating when we had to arrive early, leave later than planned in the morning and leave our luggage for a few hours. Very tastefully done up place including the toiletries and really clean. We helped ourselves to freshly brewed coffee in the morning and spent away the morning on the porch with other guests. Stay here! Only thing being it's about 10 min walk from the nearest subway station.

We had a wonderful experience! Gerard and Marie were flexible with both check in and out times which we appreciated. Marie even helped me find free (and hassle-free) parking for the entire stay. Awesome!<br/>The apartment was lovely. It had everything we needed. My daughter usually dreads sleeping on pull out couches. She declared this one to be the most comfortable one ever. <br/>Great space. Great neighborhood. We walked, ferried and took the T into Boston easily. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Staying at Lisa and John's place was amazing! The neighborhood is great, green, quiet, safe, and easy to reach by public transport. Unfortunately, we didn't meet Lisa, but John was there to let us in. John also made sure we had everything we needed, like some cereal the first morning, fresh towels and linen, free organic tomatoes and zucchini's fresh from the garden, even though he had a pretty busy week at work. Apart from that, John is also a really nice host, with lots of interesting stories and tips on what to do while in Boston. We had some great conversations, while the two easy going cats were lazily hanging around.
<br/>We (my SO and I) had a great week here, and would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to visit Boston!

My husband and our 2 toddler boys stayed at this apartment for 4 nights. The location exceeded our expectations - we walked everywhere! The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and was spacious even with 4 of us. Xerxes was very accommodating by providing us with an air mattress for the little ones and was very quick to answer our questions or provide recommendations when asked.  We would definitely stay there again if we were to return to Boston.

I stayed in this apartment for 5 months over the summer while working in Boston. The apartment is situated in a really lovely residential area of Brighton with excellent transport links to both Boston and Cambridge, making it fantastic for commuting to work. The local area has great amenities including shops, restaurants, bars etc, and a public swimming pool and other sports facilities nearby.
<br/>The host Masha and her husband were extremely welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived in Boston, which was very appreciated given that I was traveling alone and was far from home. They were always on hand if I had questions or needed anything. The apartment is quite spacious, clean and well kept. The kitchen has all the basics needed and the sofa comfortably sleeps a guest if required. The decked area outside was well used by me and makes for a lovely chill out area catching the afternoon sunshine. 
<br/>Overall my stay here was fabulous and I would totally recommend this apartment to those looking for somewhere homely to stay while in Boston. Indeed if I am ever back in town I will check out the availability of this place!

With my husband and my baby, we stayed in this appartment for a week.   It was comfortable and clean, and had everything we needed (except maybe the kitchen that wasn't as equiped as I originally thought).  The location was perfect, and we could walk by foot to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go.  The street on which we were was super quiet, with barely any cars using it (wonderful to get a good night sleep).  We were very satisfied with our stay.

We had an excellent stay at Jeff's home in Boston. The house has a lot of character and the space is easily adequate for 5-6 people. It is in a convenient location and public transport is easily accessible (bus to Cambridge stops next to the house). The hosts made it really convenient for us to come in and leave at a time of our choosing. We also loved that fact that the hosts are environmentally conscious and live in a healthy, nature friendly manner. We felt really welcome and if we visit Boston again, we will definitely consider staying at their place again if that would be an option

Great place and great host.
<br/>The place itself was adorable. Nice cozy room on a top floor of beautiful house with lots of sunshine in the morning was a pleasant place to wake up. And the bath is worth mentioning - gorgeous and huge almost the size of the room itself. Effectively we had all the top floor for ourselves for the price of the room. 
<br/>Particular thanks to the host. I was setting up the trip to Boston at the last minute and was running late for the check in but prompt response from the host and flexibility with check in made the stay smooth and pleasant.
<br/>And the last but not the least their dog is just awesome.
<br/>Overall a perfect place to stay for a couple visiting Boston.

EXCEPTIONAL!! This is the word I would have to use to describe our whole experience with Chris and Kelly and their beautiful flat in the most perfect location in Boston!! Chris and Kelly responded and answered all of my questions before we came and were incredibly flexible and accommodating with regard to our arrival and check in! The flat was much larger than the pictures portrayed which was a wonderful surprise!! And I truly felt right at home with the amenities and comfort of their flat. The 2 very large bathrooms were wonderful, the kitchen was fabulous as was the whole space! And it was awesome to have a washer/dryer which came in handy and we could pack lighter! The location is so convenient!! You are a block off the Boston Common and a T stop is right next to the building. It's very peaceful and quiet within the flat itself! We already have this wonderful flat booked again and are looking forward to it! It beats staying in a hotel...that's for sure!!! Thanks Chris and Kelly!

We had a very pleasent stay.
<br/>The apartment was in excellent condition, very comfortable, spacious and very clean. The apartment that shows the photos is not the same as that which we arrived. The bedroom and the bathroom are in the basement, where the noise of the air conditioning was noted. 
<br/>In the apartment there are maps of the city and tourist information.
<br/>WIFI works very good.
<br/>The neighborhood: it is very quiet. We had a car, and found enough space to park free. We used it every day, especially to avoid the night walk from the subway station to the house, the trip is not long but it is lonely.
<br/>Terry: received us on arrival, very friendly and helpful. We only bothered him to help us open the suitcase because we had lost the key to the lock and he solved the issue very efficiently. The rest of the time we communicate by email

The beds were extremely comfortable and the location was great. It is literally a few blocks from the beach and it is walkable to public transportation (bus stops), which make it ideal for exploring the city. The parking spot for the house is also very helpful (since parking does seem to be limited). I highly recommend this apartment!

<br/>The distance to the subway was a huge plus, as there were many fun things to see and do in Boston and having them so easily accessible meant no need for a car.

We've been hosted by Hermina and Donna for 3 nights. It was our first in time in Boston. The house is close to the station (Fields corner) which is good and it is located next to a kind of police warehouse. Sometimes you will hear the alarm, it is very disturbing, I remember that a sunday morning the alarm didn't stop to ring.
<br/>We were located in room B. When we arrived nobody was there to welcome us. We knew Hermina was out of the country and Donna the house-keeper but we didn't have the chance to meet her during our all stay in Hermina's house. We didn't have a very good experience unfortunately. When we arrived room was not clean  (however we knew it, we arrived in the morning around 10.00 am) and bathroom as well (hairs were on the washstand and bathroom, it was not very pleasant to take a shower). The first day, we had to leave the door of our room unlocked  for Donna to come and clean the room. When we came back from our first day, we couldn’t find our luggage in the room, we were very frightened! We found them in the living room (Donna probably moved them…). The same night, we were awakened by the sound of a mouse ! The mouse was eating some chips located on the table. We informed Hermina by Email and she answered very quickly and give us instructions. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. However our first impression was not really positive. It was too bad we didn’t meet Donna, we saw a few guests but that’s all. When we made the reservation through the website, we had some troubles getting concrete answers from Hermina, it was like she didn’t really take the time to read and answer properly to our questions. We had to chase her to get our answers. We insisted because we really wanted to make our reservation with her because of the good comments. Once the reservation is confirmed, she sends long instructions which is good but it is also a pity she doesn't really take the time to personnalize messages. We really enjoyed Boston, we will come back for sure but we will have to choose another place to stay and sleep unfortunately.

Xerses gave me a very warm welcome when I arrived. He showed me around the apartment and talked me through the other details. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable with everything you could need to feel at home. The internet was fast as reliable and there were plenty of places to buy food and supplies within a two minute walk. Slightly further afield, downtown Boston- Tremont St and the Commmon was only ten minutes away on foot.

<br/>If you need a room in Boston this apartment is great. I really enjoyed staying here.

As a family we had been planning once last holiday for all 5 of us to give and as it was my mum'a 60th she chose where we went. We started the holiday in Boston staying in Trisha's apartment. Having never been before, it was a quick 10 minute journey from the airport cost $30 between us. The apartment gave us a lot more room than we would have had than if we were in a hotel although you wouldn't necessarily have a big sit down meal but the table is great for breakfast or for a quick lunch. Also the flexibility with meals which is important as the youngest is a student so doesn't have a lot of money. The best thing apartment this apartment is the location. North End is an incredible area being so close to the harbour, downtown Boston, Quincey market and the subway. We were able to walk most places or if not hop on a subway which is what we needed as my mum wanted to cover a lot of history in the short amount of time we had. North end feels incredibly welcoming and the food and shops are fantastic. We were there for St Anthony's which was a fantastic atmosphere with live music and stalls and everyone willing to have a chat to you.  This is a great apartment for location and the apartment itself feels clean and modern.

Thomas is a really nice man，we arrive very late on Sep 2，and he also give us very warm welcome and give us advise about the place of visit in Boston. It just like you are staying in your friends house. Breakfast was delicious，coffee，cakes，and other fruits. I like the backyard so much，quite and peaceful，full of flowers where you can get close to the plants and fresh air. We had very good sleep these two nights，the bed was so big and comfortable. If I will come to Boston again， I will definitely live in Thomas's house again.

La habitación era exactamente como se describía. La casa es muy acogedora y los anfitriones no se entrometen para nada por lo que uno siente que tiene todo para uno. La conveniencia del desayuno y la lavandería es muy positivo. Además la cercanía al metro. Tener una habitación limpia, una cama cómoda, un baño privado, poder hacerse una taza de té y sentarse en la terraza...definitivamente hacen que podamos recomendar este lugar.

We had the best time in Larry's apt,
<br/>The neighbourhood is the best location in the city. Cedar St is a quite street that is very close to the main street of neighbourhood (Charles St) and to the nearest Starbucks.
<br/>
<br/>The apt is very spacious and clean. But best thing about it are the cats! Romulus is smart and is actually in charge, and Remus is his sweet sidekick. Both of them really changed our experience for the better, and they made us smile every time we came in.

I booked this air bnb for my parents. They said it was very clean and comfortable. They liked that it was private. Also that they had their own bathroom.

I had a really nice stay here for a little over two weeks, I was studying near the Brigham and Women's hospital so the location was great for me considering I could walk there in about 15-20 minutes. Terry was really good, always replying straight away if I needed anything. The place was really comfortable and homely so I's recommend it to anyone.

The three days at Hilary and Hazel's where the perfect way to start my trip to the US. They gave me a warm welcome, provided me with everything I needed - esp. good tips, what to see and where to eat - so that I felt at home immediately. The house is in a nice neighborhood and just as lovely as on the pictures - so that you want to rearrange your own place as soon as you get home...Thank you!

Thank you Jessica for being such a wonderful host! I stayed for a little more than a week when first moving to Boston. Jessica was very helpful in pointing me out to places  that I needed to visit. Also, the location is central! Close walk to the T and  to nice cozy restaurants. It is also a quiet neighborhood. Jessica makes everyone feel at home. The room was private and clean. In general, it was a pleasant experience!

Listing was completely accurate. Great location just across from the Old North Church, and in the heart of the North End with that great Italian feel. Fifth floor with no one above, so quiet. I forgot a filtered water bottle and Jose offered to send to me without me even asking. Great host!

We had a great time. The apartment was very confortable and its location very convenient.  Public transportation one block away, easy acces to major highways (I90 & I94) and nearby restaurants and shops. Although we didnt meet David (He was out of town during our stay) he was very friendly, easy to reach, and very accomodating. We would not hesitate to stay with David again. Great experience

I stayed with Jill for three months in the summer of 2014, while doing a fellowship in the area.  The house is adorable, in an awesome location, clean, and very welcoming.  Jill was a wonderful host, great person to get to know, helpful in learning about the area, and helped make my time in Boston a wonderful experience.  Buddy and Angel are very sweet and well-behaved.  Highly, highly recommend!  Thanks Jill! :-)

The location cannot be beat:  right in the heart of the North End with delicious food in all directions and in the middle of the Freedom Trail for sightseeing.  The apartment had a nice, bright bedroom with comfortable bed.  The kitchen had the basics to be able to get by.  Jose had excellent communication and provided perfect directions!  He was also let us drop our luggage off early.  A great experience overall.

Evelyn was a very welcoming host.  The moment I arrived she helped me with my luggage, showed me my amazing room with lots of storage and privacy and then walked with me down to the Subway, only 8-10min walk, so that I would be comfortable walking there first thing in the morning.  The bathroom is large, clean and very bright with all the natural light.  I will definitely go back the next time I am in Boston.  
<br/>I you have trouble with steps you may want to consider another option this room is on the third floor so you do climb stairs:) It was totally worth it to have the space and privacy:)

What a great place and wonderful experience. Terry greated us when we arrived and pretty much left us on our own, but was available if we needed any assistance.

Gerard and Marie were wonderful hosts when we stayed in their beautiful Charlestown apartment recently . The apartment was bright spacious and very comfortable . The kitchen and laundry facilities were excellent. The apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood but is conveniently located within a 10 min walk to the T line, Bus and water taxi for quick travel into Boston . The Wholefood market is nearby for great  easy meals options. Gerard could not have been more helpful with advice about everything from baseball games to driving out of Boston . Gerard also drove us into the city to so we could pick up our hire car , despite having a busy schedule of his own .

We had a lovely time in Janet's apartment.  It had everything anyone would need on a city break to Boston.  The apartment was clean, bright and comfy with plenty of space for two.  The bathroom is also well equipped and has enough.<br/>The air conditioning was very useful as it was very hot while we were staying in Boston.  Janet was helpful and had some great recommendations for the area.  All in all it was a great place to stay and Janet was a great host.

Stacy made us feel very welcome and was a wonderful host. She went out of her way to accommodate us.  Her Place was as wonderful (or maybe even more spectacular) than described or as seen in the photos. Great location within walking distance to great restaurants, playgrounds, Copley/prudential, etc.   We stayed with our 2 young ones and had a wonderful time.  Very nice amenities. Gorgeous deck/porch. This will be our go to place to rent when in Boston again (if she'll have us....that is)!!!

The condo is fabulous! So spacious.  Its almost soundproof.  You hardly hear any noise from outside. Both bedrooms are small but were fine for us.  Keys were easy to get.  It was 95 degrees outside but they had 2 air conditioners running and it was nice and cold inside!  Everything was right there, you can walk to everything.  I can't wait to stay here again!

Paul went above and beyond to make me and my family feel welcome in his home. He provided anything that we could possibly need, even fresh fruit, bottled water and snacks, on top of all toiletries. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and clean with new furniture and tastefully decorated (we also were welcomed with a bouquet of fresh flowers!). The neighborhood is in an ideal place at the heart of Boston, within walking distance the historic landmarks. There's also a Whole Foods half a block away which made this location even better!
<br/>Paul's place is THE place to stay in Boston!
<br/>Thanks for everything Paul and congratulations for your amazing apartment!

We didnt met jose personally but when we had a question he respond immediately by mail. The appartment is definetely on the best location to explore boston. It is old but reasonable clean. Because it is an old building, the wooden floors make it a litle bit noisy. But this didnt bother us too much. The bed was very good! I would definetly recommend this aparment!

This was great place to stay in Boston. Jose was very helpful giving directions to the apartment and to access the keys. All very effortless. Location is a wonderful neighborhood, heart of the north end . the apartment is just as pictured - basic, but a good value. We had one maintenance issue, which was dealt with as promptly as possible, and very satisfactorily. I would definitely recommend this apartment.

I had a wonderful 11-night stay at Ella and Will’s. They were welcoming and obliging hosts. I was able to get in touch with them with ease and they were very quick to respond. They were kind enough to assist me with sightseeing ideas. They were receptive when I raised a few minor problems and rectified them promptly to ensure my comfort. 
<br/>
<br/>The apartment is well located in a good, quiet neighbourhood and is easy to find. There are parks within walking distance and good restaurants and a supermarket a 5 minute walk away. It took about 30-40 minutes to get to downtown Boston (via bus and subway). The commuter rail will get you there quicker. I felt safe returning late at night. 
<br/>
<br/>The apartment was as shown in the photos. It was simple and well-kept. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bedroom and walk-in wardrobe were spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the room was air conditioned. There was a very helpful folder in the apartment with information about the local area as well as Boston travel guides. 
<br/>
<br/>I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to friends. The hosts were gracious; it was comfortable and beat staying at a hotel.

Evelyn was one of the most welcoming and considerate hosts that I've had the pleasure of meeting through AirBnB.  She has a terrific home, a great private guest suite (at the top of the house) and goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome.  I would highly recommend her, and her home, to anyone considering a stay in Boston!  
<br/>
<br/>And, to those that are leery of traveling outside of the downtown section, this is a wonderfully safe community with lots of great authentic restaurants in close walking distance.

Dror called very quickly and gave me friendly, thorough information.   The apartment needs some love.   The sofas appeared heavily used and discolored and I was not comfortable enough to sit on them, and the dinning table chairs were stiff and mismatched.   There was no place I was comfortable.  There was no interior lock on the front door and, being a woman staying alone, whenever people walked by in the hall I was a bit uncomfortable.  The bathroom was small but adequate and clean - there were no hand towels.  The kitchen was clean and much nicer than in the photo.  The location is great and this would be a nice place to stay if someone would make a trip to Ikea and spent $3-4k on new some furniture.     With additional fees I ended up spending $374 for one night.

This place is in a great location! Staying in the North End of Boston is a perfect place because it seems like you're right in middle of the historic Freedom Trail. Little Italy is a casual walk away from this location. Jose and Jason were able to let us use their pass to a near-by parking garage for a reasonable fee. Word of advice for future travelers to Boston: You don't need a car to get around. The T Line (subway) could get us anywhere in the city, especially to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox:)<br/>Jose and Jason's place was clean and simple. The bathroom's shower may need a renovation soon, but other then that, it was quite comfortable. This room is located on the 4th floor with no elevator, so it may be difficult for slightly impaired travelers. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

The North End neighborhood is great. This place is located on the first floor of an old building at the end of a narrow court. It's practical to deal with our luggages but means also that the natural light is rather poor and gloomy. And also, walls and floor are really thin : we share the neighbors' life. The kitchen-bathroom are okay but what happened to the nice furniture that we saw on the picture ?! Eaten by the ugly plastic coated couch and the old bed and mattress ? If you consider the roaring noise of the AC system under the front windows and the lack of cleanliness in parts of the place (man, take a look at the layers of dust on the fan, the brick walls, below and around the bed) we were very disappointed. We hope the price we paid for cleaning will benefit the next guests.

The first contact was very sympathetic with detailed instructions where and how to get the key to get in. Nevertheless we weren't able to get in the house, because another guest had taken the key. Although having stayed for two nights we never saw our host and she didn't respond to emails anymore. There were another three guests in the house.<br/>Communications and organization in case of absence have to be worked on. :-)<br/>The room was as described and sufficiently tidy as well as the bathroom.<br/>The place is perfect to start off into Downtown Boston, although the description of the house seems somewhat exaggerated.

Easy to find, easy to get in, plus he kindly left some homemade granola!

Fabulous location, great views, good neighbourhood and lots of good restaurants close by. Clean apartment and comfortable bed, for the 2 of us it was ideal.
<br/>If you fly into Boston the best way to get there is to get the free SL 1 (Silverline 1) shuttle bus from the airport and get off at South Station, go up to street level and get a cab from there to the apartment - it will cost 10 bucks including tip, not worth messing about with anything else. Car not needed in Boston, if you do get one good luck with the parking of it!

Mande un mensaje a Terry informándole de que íbamos a llegar antes de la hora prevista y
<br/> se mostró conciliador y permitiéndonos dejar nuestras maletas, al final la limpieza estaba acabada y pudimos instalarnos. Apreciamos la flexibilidad y la buena disposición. Terry nos acogió con mucha amabilidad y nos proporciono información interesante sobre Boston. La casa se correspondía al anuncio, muy limpia, acogedora y con sensación de hogar. Nos sentimos muy a gusto. Las comunicaciones con la T son cercanas y rápidas.
<br/>Sin embargo creo necesario añadir que la zona puede parecer algo insegura, advertencia que nos hizo el taxista que nos llevo allí. No tuvimos ninguna mala experiencia pero sí uno es sensible con este tema esto no es una buena opción.
