It was great at Polly's place. Very clean and quiet, and I liked that they provided small drugstore items of everything you can possibly need for a few nights if you forgot own stuff, and a fridge with free drinks. We just stayed a night and did not use it as a base for sightseeing, so I cannot speak to the location.

It was lovely to be met on arrival by Marie who gave us lots of helpful information about Boston . The apartment was really nice , in a fantastic location ,all of which made our stay extremely enjoyable . I would definitely recommend staying in Charlestown especially having Marie and Gerard as hosts.

Had a wonderful (but too short) stay. Your property was as perfect this time as it was the last time I stayed!!  It is so convenient to the subway, restaurants,etc., with plenty of room for the four of us.
<br/>Love the diverse neighborhood--everyone we met was friendly and helpful. 
<br/>See you the next time

Jessica is a pleasant and informative host who is very enthusiastic and proud of Boston. Contingency plans were given to us prior to arrival in case she wasn't at home which proved most useful. But we did not see her again to speak to during our stay.
<br/>Location was quiet and easy to access what we wanted to do by subway.  Carrying luggage uphill would not be easy. 
<br/>However we found the accommodation old, tired and basic. It was very disappointing and certainly not up to the standard we have been experiencing and expecting from airbnb. The reality of the accommodation did not meet the expectation derived from the imaginative website description.

Trisha texted to make sure we got in OK. The place is as described, and in a great neighborhood for restaurants and walking to historical sites.

Quaint little flat in North End.  Enjoyed our stay even though it was short.  You just cant beat this location.  You are in the middle of everything but it is quiet at same time.  Jose was very helpful and accomodating of our schedule as well.  Thanks!

Jonathan is a very welcoming and friendly host. The room and the bathroom were clean. The apartment is very well located, only 10 minutes away from the subway station (20 minutes from there to get to downtown then). We simply had a very good time in Boston. I recommend this host.

A good experience overall. The room was very clean and well-lit, and a ceiling fan provided good ventilation. The bathroom was also clean and well-supplied. The location was in a decent neighborhood, conveniently close to several nearby eateries and the Jackson Square station, which was only a few stops away from downtown Boston.

Phyllis room delivers its promise: it's perfect for one person, either for just one day or more. The bathroom is super clean and confortable. The cookies and breakfast are delicious.<br/>It can be kind of far if you have to use public transportation only (~40min by bus to get to closest subway/train station) but managable, if you don't mind that.<br/>I would recommend this room :)

This is a very nice apartment and an excellent value ... especially for a pretty expensive city. Tyree is a very attentive host, and she was careful to provide parking for us right in front of her home. Parking is a scarce commodity in Boston, so this was very thoughtful on her part to make a space for us. 
<br/>The apartment is spacious, comfortable and nicely appointed. The stairs leading up to the apartment are high and pretty steep.  Not a big issue, but it's worth mentioning. 
<br/>The neighborhood appears to be safe. However, there don't seem to be any cafes or diners withing easy walking distance when you're looking for a nice breakfast. Also, the best option for transportation into the downtown area is Uber. The nearest T station is far away. And riding buses takes too much time when you're on vacation.
<br/>In spite of these minor complaints, This spot is a great option for a single or couple, and it's a great value for anyone visiting  Boston for a short, fun visit.

Vicki was a lovely host. She met us to give us the keys and worked with us since we needed a place to store our luggage after check-out. The flat itself is gorgeous and meticulously taken care of, with well-matched decorations and a rooftop balcony where we enjoyed breakfast and the harbor view every morning. Vicki's flat is easily accessible to the rest of Boston via public transport (bus close by or a pleasant walk along the ocean+ the T) but the fact that there is a parking space is very nice too. I would highly recommend Vicki's flat as a peaceful place to stay in Boston, whether visiting for business or pleasure.

Suzanne was an absolutely amazing host! My Husband and I went to Boston to Celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. The apartment was a perfect size for the two of us, and in a perfect location - walk-able to everything.. I mean everything! - if you're up for the challenge :) ) if not, it is only steps away from the T. Suzanne made everything so easy on us, from accepting our AirBnB request,  to obtaining the keys, to our stay, to departure. She provided us with Local hot spots, walking tips, and even made us a wonderful pie for our anniversary! I give her communication rating 100% - which made us feel overly comfrotable. I highly recommend and we already can not wait to come back and stay!
<br/>THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Wir waren Ende September für 2 Nächte in Boston und wurden von Miriam s Mann Husban freundlich empfangen. Er hat uns alles in der Wohnung gezeigt, die sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet ist. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht! Von der Wohnung zur Metro Station sind es ungefähr 8-10 Minuten zu laufen und dann hat man eine sehr gute Verbindung in die Innenstadt! In der näheren Umgebung hat es einen Supermarkt, kleinere Geschäfte, Restaurants...Wir haben uns in der Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und würden sie jederzeit weiterempfehlen!

Fantastic location right on the Freedom Trail in the heart of the North End: could not be better if you in Boston for tourism. The flat had all the amenities you would expect, a large and very comfortable bed, good size bathroom and was spotless.
<br/>
<br/>The only slight downside is that noise carries in the apartment building so light sleepers might be bothered by noisy neighbours. But this is a slight niggle and I would recommend this option if you are coming to Boston.

Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour chez Hilary. Il s'agit d'une personne très accueillante, très disponible pour échanger quelques mots et donner de bons conseils sur sa ville. La maison est vraiment jolie et agréable, dans un quartier paisible et facilement accessible en des transports en commun (bus et métro à proximité). Nous recommandons cette location!

Highly recommended...location is ideal...close enough to touristy locations but removed enough to get the local feel of Boston (check out nearby Appleton's for breakfast as an alternative to Starbucks)...apartment is clean and well-kept with a very homey feel...great communication and courtesy from host..will definitely stay again...thank you Tim :)

Our hopes were high having seen the photos of the apartment and knowing its location - but when we checked in we found it even better than we'd expected. <br/>The apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. The bedroom offers great hanging and storage space for clothes as well as a large and very comfortable bed. The bathroom is clean, with a great rain shower as well as large bath. And the lounge/kitchen is a fantastic use of space for comfortable living. The kitchen has all the equipment and utensils you could ever need, there's a great fridge-freezer, and the sofas are perfect for relaxing on. And the wifi is fast. <br/>Beyond the basics of the apartment, the host is brilliant too. Great communication before we checked in with helpful advice, and nice touches around the apartment once you're in - good local maps to use, local information and tourist books, a great selection of coffee table books to browse while resting your feet, a good selection of DVD's to play. <br/>And the location is perfect, 2 mins from the State House, 10 mins from North End, 5 mins from Park Street. Shops and bars are just at the end of the street. Only word of caution - plan ahead if you have a car. Parking is extortionately expensive in Boston, and you can't park outside the apartment so coordinate your arrival and key collection carefully. <br/>But don't let that put you off - this is the perfect place to enjoy Boston from!

We had a fab stay in Boston! Was awesome to be so at home and welcome in Dans house. He was very helpful via email as he had to be away for work. We had a bit of difficulty finding the place but once there the house was just as described in the listing. Lovely and quiet neighbourhood and just a 30 minute walk into town. The bed was a little squeaky and the futon a bit hard but we were aware of this and the room was perfect for what we needed.. Somewhere to sleep at the end of a full day exploring! Thanks for a great stay!

The apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures, very clean and cozy. The neighborhood did not match the description for Roxbury in our opinion. We were pleased with the close proximity to the metra station. Terry's recommendations were fantastic!!

Great building in a convenient location with paid parking underneath if you need it.  George made things easy and was very communicative in order to get the key.   The apartment has a great view and is really quiet.  It's set up well for a convenient rental.       Overall I had a very good experience that worked out well for my conference.

I loved our stay in Boston and Elisangela was a big part of making that happen. She was extremely flexible when we got caught in traffic. We had different parties coming in at different times thanks to a wedding and she helped us get in and get out smoothly. The place is lovely, with hardwood floors, a spacious living room and the beds were very comfy. It was clean and neat, and the location is great for getting in and out of downtown. And the restaurant across the street was fantastic. I will definitely recommend this place to others heading up to Boston.

Great place! I stayed here for three weeks while rotating at Tufts Medical Center. Excellent location, t quite as convenient as a build in cook-top would be!<br/>Overall I would definitely recommend the place to anyone, especially young professionals and would definitely stay again!

This was my first experience with Airbnb. I was generally optimistic, though somewhat skeptical when I first sent the reservation request. As soon as I heard back from Alexa, which didn't take long at all, all skepticism was pushed aside. Each detail and every question I had was promptly attended to before I ever left home. When my train pulled into Boston, I felt like I was arriving in a place I was familiar with thanks to the notes she typed up about the North End. No issues arrose, but if they had I have no doubt Alexa would have tended to them swiftly. The home itself is beautiful, bright, and charming. I'm fairly certain her bed is in fact a cloud. It is the most comfortable thing I have ever slept in. The kitchen had every tool we would need. I will without a doubt book my next trip to Boston around the availability of this home.

Yes we were warmly  welcomed and the hosts answered all our questions promptly by e-mail before our arrival.  The description is accurate, although the condo would be a bit crowded with 4 adults (the second bed is a pull-out that uses up the living room).  Everything else is very accurate.  It is cozy, clean, comfortable, well-appointed and located right in the heart of one of the coolest and oldest neighborhoods of Boston - The North End.

Susie was very helpful with things to do. She provided a whole binder full of info and even a map for the taking! The studio was cute and well equipped. Susie made sure we had some morning essentials (oj, coffee, English muffins) which definitely helped get the day going. The trundle bed was easy to operate - although we couldn't get it to stop rolling away, we just both slept on the single bed - which wasn't a problem for us. I'm sure if we would have asked Susie she would have helped us, but we didn't mind. The spiral staircase could be tricky, but was fine for us. The T is a short walk away and a very quick ride to almost anywhere in Boston. Jamaica plains is also a great neighborhood to explore. I would highly recommend this place for someone trying to see Boston as not just a 'tourist'.

Phyllis was a fantastic host!  She made me feel extremely welcome and comfortable from the moment she picked me up at the train station.  The room was exactly what I needed for my one night stay in the Boston area.  Her homemade cookies and omelette were delicious! I would definitely stay at her place again.

Andre was an excellent host!  His place is beautifully finished, the bed is very comfortable, and the neighborhood is a quiet escape from the busier parts of Boston.  The purple Commuter Line is convieniently very close and easy to walk to.  
<br/>
<br/>I've been using Airbnb for years and this is, by far, the best value I've found.  I highly recommend Andre's place if you are visiting the Boston area!

We had a wonderful stay at Paolo's apt. in North End. We were greeted by Ralph who is the nicest man! He made us feel very comfortable  in the apt.

My friends and I had a great time in Boston! The apartment was nice and had plenty of room but the best part was the location. It was so close to everything we could need and we were spoilt for choice of restaurants to eat. Communication wise, everything was smooth sailing and it was very handy to be able to leave our luggage in the secure room on arrival. Thanks very much!!!

Tiffany's home was on a lovely quiet street in South Boston. It is an 8 minute walk to Broadway on the red subway line. From the time of booking to check in Tiffany was superb with her level of information and keeping us informed of things like parking and how to get to certain attractions. A+ for communication.
<br/>There was plenty of space for our family of two adults and three children in this three bedroom home. Amenities supplied was excellent with everything you would expect plus extras you wouldn't (pancake mix, frozen pizzas etc).
<br/>After Tiffany showed us around and explained things like the cable, wifi and AC usage she left us alone and let us enjoy our Boston stay. When we did have any question she would respond to messaging instantly.
<br/>In short, people like Tiffany are the models of excellence for airbnb. She was simply superb. Book with confidence.

We had a great time at Joe's place. Proper historic Boston, nice and quiet and really comfortable. A short walk across the bridge and you're into the Italian delis and bakeries of the North End. Joe's communication was great and he was really helpful and laid back - attentive too. Tom Brady is still a cheat, mind.

Marie is so sweet and accommodating. It's a great apartment - clean, spacious and bright. The neighborhood is so cute - it feels like San Francisco with all the different colored homes - and a super quick cab ride to downtown Boston. We took Uberpool and it cost us $5 to get downtown - amazing! 
<br/>
<br/>I will absolutely stay here next time we could to Boston - it's a steal.

This place is gorgeous! The pictures don't do it justice. It's a lovely heritage home and the owners have gone out of their way to give you everything you need to have a lovely stay, and are very warm welcoming and helpful. You also have shared access to a kitchen, living room and laundry room, shared with I think 2 or 3 other bedrooms. Thank you so much Barney and Mary for your lovely home and hospitality!

The house and everything advertised including the location where perfect. But what we enjoyed most about staying with Kit and Scott was the feeling of coming home to stay with old friends. We had very interesting conversations with both of them while enjoying an amazing breakfast, a different one everyday. Of course we would recommend staying here for anyone going to Boston.

La Gemma was wonderful, and not only was just as described.. it was better!  The space was charming, very clean, comfortable, well stocked and wonderful for our 4-night stay.   We enjoyed the courtyard between day trips around Boston and evenings in the North and South End.  Everything was in walking distance, including the T.  You are truly tucked in the North End and all that it has to offer.  Gina provided us with helpful information prior to our stay that made it easy for us to find the home, gain entry,  plan our stay and our day at Fenway.  I will definetely stay again if I have the opportunity to travel back to the area.  
<br/>One note about the stairs... probably not great for elderly.

Lisa was so welcoming and friendly! 
<br/>Lisa gave great directions and provided perfect info leading up to our trip, and was very easy to get a hold of if we had any questions!
<br/> She made us feel right at home right away, and Lisa & John were nice to talk to!  Everything was ready when we arrived, and really were a significant part of a great trip!  Would definitely come back the next time we are in the city, and would recommend Lisa's house to anybody visiting Boston/Jamaica Plain!

This was my first Airbnb experience and Jonathan made it easy. He was a great host; friendly, kept in contact, and gave clear directions for check in and out.

Helen left us lovely care packages all over the space, accompanied by a personal binder full of great information about the area and the rest of Boston. Clean, charming, and great feeling. Host was very responsive and communicative from months ahead all the way down through when we left. The area was lovely to stay in. We enjoyed a walk through the Fens gardens every day on our way to the train station or to the Copley area. Wonderful bed and bedding--all making for very restful evenings in-between exploring the city.

Antoinette and Louis made us feel welcome in their beautiful house in Jamaica Plain. The room and facilities are accurately described and Jamiaca Plain is an attractive neighbourhood which we enjoyed very much, with its great restaurants and proximity to Arboretum and Pond. Getting in and out of Boston was easy enough, though it might be helpful to be more explicit, in the AirBnB outline, that Jamaica Plain is a half hour ride to Central Boston on the bus or Metro train.
<br/>We would be happy to recommend this accommodation.

We had a wonderful time walking around Boston. The apartment was very convenient, perfectly sized for two travelers, and immaculately clean (but still cozy).  We were warmly greeted with an early check-in (arranged via text with an extremely responsive host) and were given a quick and informative orientation to the area. Although short, we enjoyed our stay immensely.

A friend and I got super lucky and fell into this listing with only a few weeks until we were scheduled to be in town. Samantha was incredibly quick in providing helpful information and unbelievably accommodating in working with the unusual arrival/departure times that we were looking to have given our schedule. If ever I had a question, I received an answer within minutes.
<br/>
<br/>Upon arrival, the apartment could not have been more perfect for our needs. The photos simply don't do the size/space justice, and we were both comfortable and accommodated throughout the duration of our stay. 
<br/>
<br/>The location was perfect-- Beacon Hill is both picturesque and central!-- and there were plenty of convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance that left us wanting for nothing throughout the entire weekend.
<br/>
<br/>If ever I'm in Boston again, I'll be sure to look up this apt again. Thanks, Samantha!

The apartment was great, exactly as pictured. The location right across from a blue line stop makes it worth your while. The air conditioner worked well and the shower had long lasting hot water. This is the perfect stay for anyone looking for easy access to all things downtown Boston for a great deal. Gavin was also the friendliest of hosts and answered any questions I had making the stay easy and comforting.

This was my first experience with Airbnb, and i was greater than i expect. Sami is a great host, the place is very comfy and safe. It was very easy to go downtown aprox. 20 minutes.

Jay's apartment is very well located in a beautiful neighborhood , the apt condition is all good just as described. Jay was very responsive and helpful. Sometime at late night there were cars passing in front the window so it could be a bit loud for light sleepers. But a pair of earplugs could solve that.  I recommend this place to other travelers.

Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Valery's place. He is a great, considerate host who has taken care of every little detail to make his guests feel completely at home and make their stay as comfortable as possible. Whether its from small conveniences like phone charges in every location one might need them in to a fully equipped kitchen with high quality appliances and equipment to a Bluetooth enabled sound bar connected to a phone with Spotify and TuneIn pre-loaded.  
<br/>
<br/>The apartment itself is very conveniently located close to the T and has useful convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance. 
<br/>
<br/>Finally, Valery has been very very quick to respond to any questions etc - right from the first time I got in touch with him. Since he was away when I checked, he had even arranged for a friend to visit a bit later and show things around. It felt more like going to a friend's place and not to someone's who I have never met before. Couldn't have asked for a better first AirBnB experience !
<br/>
<br/>Very highly recommended for anyone visiting the Boston area.

Could not have imagined a more ideal place to stay while visiting Boston. JP is a great neighborhood to explore and the lodgings were comfortable, clean, and ideally situated on a beautiful street in the middle of the neighborhood. The hosts were communicative, kind, and helpful. Would highly recommend this listing to others.

Overall, my stay with the Rosenbergs was fabulous!  My room and bathroom were very clean and as described. The bed was comfortable and there was lots of hot water in the shower!  When I did have an issue arise, it was immediately addressed to my satisfaction. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Boston. Thank you!

Rosalia was a super host. Her place is comfy, clean, and charming. She communicated with me via email, texting, handwritten notes, and talking in person before and during my stay to make things run so smoothly. Jack, the rabbit, was peaceful and fun to see. Enjoyed being in Charlestown - close enough, but just off the Freedom Trail. If you're going to Boston, Rosalia's place is a good choice.

The host communicated very well. The apartment was just as I expected, comfortable for four of us.  The neighborhood is a little "sketchy" to walk at night, but we had a car, so that was not a big issue.  The weather was very nice, so I even sat outside at the small deck. Overall, a very good experience.

Staying with Shawn and Nik was a great choice for us during our stay in Boston. The apartment was beautifully renovated, looked exactly the same as the pictures, and was easy to find. One thing we liked the best was the apartment's close location to a T stop. Shawn and Nik made us feel welcomed the entire time and were very kind. Definitely a place we would stay again!

Perfect location, clean and well-equipped apartment, comfortable bed. The downsides are the 4 flights of stairs if you have a lot of luggage, and that you have to do a thorough clean-up yourself or pay $150 (which I didn't realize!). Also, some street noise, especially because the AC is installed in the windows, so they are constantly open.

We had a great visit to Jamaica Plain. Penny gave us a warm welcome and a quick tour of her home. She invited us to make ourselves at home which is very clean and attractive. Our master suite, on the third level, was clean, private, and quiet. She had light breakfast foods that we could prepare at our convenience. Her home is a short walk from many restuarants and interesting sites. We plan to stay with Penny again on future trips to JP.

The room was exactly as described! Very close to the T and to a convenience store which definitely helps. Room was tidy and the place had good Wi-fi right up at the first floor. Manuela's friend made sure I was comfortable and didn't feel wanting in Manuela's absence. In summary, if you're looking for a budget accommodation with privacy that is close to downtown- this is a functional place! Definitely recommend.

I had a wonderful stay with Jessica!  From the daily cleaning for a spotless house, to leaving the light in the hallway on all night, to the fire extinguisher clearly visible on the stair landing, Jessica has clearly put a lot of thought into hosting and it shows.  I thought I might find her house a bit far from Boston, but on the contrary, I found it very convenient. And it was actually nice to get away from the bustle of Boston and into a real (quiet) neighborhood at night.  It's about a 10 minute walk to the subway, and maybe another 10-15 into the city. Jessica also enforces quiet hours on the 2nd floor, which I loved. You won't be bothered by other guests music or loud talking on the phone here. Finally, I took the red eye and got in at 6:30 am. My room wasn't ready, but Jessica let me put  my bags in the house so I could go out into Boston until my room was ready.

Great location! Good value. Know that there is no foyer for the bedroom - the entry door opens into it, which was a challenge as we had a friend with a different itinerary that came in late and had to walk through our bedroom. <br/>Do your research in advance for parking options and read their signs carefully. We got rooked pretty badly by Sergeant's that has tiny fine print that you need to exit by 6am. Not the host's issue, but good to know! ;)<br/>Again, the location is AMAZING and the decor is nice.

After much challenges with Air B&B, I finally managed to get confirmation for Laura ' s first floor apartment in September. I had gone by only the Reviews when confirming and am so glad that I did! The feedback that I read was all that I experienced in my one month stay in September ! Laura was the perfect host, ensuring comfort at all times including loaning an air mattress when my son was visiting; a blender from her own personal kitchen to prepare my Indian meals for my son; etc. The place is so central and the time flew by very quickly! Apartment is super clean with good linen and kitchen items. Perhaps the 2 things Laura could add to make it perfect is a chest of drawers as there is no proper closet to organize personal clothes and fix the window curtains in the room. Overall, a wonderful experience and am glad I found this place. Will definitely recommend to people for short or long term stay. Thank you Laura

Me and my friend stayed at Tyree's place. We really enjoyed the experience. House was beautiful as shown in pictures in a great neighbourhood. Tyree welcomed us and shared information on how to get around and she was always available for any help we needed but also respected our privacy. <br/>She even offered us a ride to the subway. The location is well connected to downtown and the house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay..so I would give it a 5 star rating.<br/>If I come back I am staying at Tyree's place again.

Great house in a great location. Description was very accurate and the ease of check-in was fabulous (use of a key code on front door). The only small issue is that there is no bathroom on the ground floor, necessitating the need to go upstairs. Otherwise a lovely, comfortable stay. Would recommend!

Jose was very responsive and quick to answer questions, though we didn’t have many as his communication and instructions are very clear. The apartment itself was perfect.  There was plenty of room for my husband and I, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice.  The location is convenient to the T stop, the freedom trail (considering it’s ON the Freedom Trail), and the famed North End bakeries.  We got some treats at Bova’s and I’d recommend stopping in there during your trip!  I would definitely recommend a stay at Jose’s apartment!

Staying at Polly's was akin to arriving at an oasis after traveling across harsh desert land.  I had spent the past 24 hours scrambling to relocate to Boston on short notice for a job I was going to start the next day.  It was a mad rush for me to pack my things and get to Boston with enough time to decompress and settle in properly. I had never been to Boston before and this was going to be my first time using Airbnb.  On my drive up, I took solace in the positive reviews and pictures of the accommodations - it certainly looked amazing and inviting.......
<br/>
<br/>When I arrived, Polly and her family made me feel at home from the moment I stepped onto their property - their warmth,hospitality and amazing positive energy really was the icing on the cake - the place was even more charming in person - perfect ambiance and I quickly forgot about how arduous the previous 24 hours had been.
<br/>
<br/>Top notch accommodations - Thank you Polly and family!!!!

깔끔하고 독립적인 공간이라는 점이 이 숙소의 가장 큰 장점입니다. 전문적인 숙박업소를 빌리는 것처럼 수건이나 샴푸 등이 준비되어 있어서 편리했습니다. 또한 동시에 거실과 주방, 세탁기 등이 있다는 점에서는 호텔보다 좋기도 했습니다. 친구들과 함께 총 8명이 묵었는데, 거실에서 같이 놀기도 하고 요리를 직접 해먹을 수 있어서 매우 좋았습니다. 비교적 가까운 거리에 식료품점 등이 있다는 점도 장점 중 하나입니다. 다만 주택가에 위치해 있어 여행만을 목적으로 방문하는 경우에는 (특히 대중교통을 이용하는 경우라면) 이동시간이 길어지고 관광 시간이 줄어들어 아쉬울 수 있습니다.<br/>가족 혹은 친구들끼리 여유롭게 지내기에 좋을 것 같습니다. 그리고 호스트의 메세지 답변이 빠르고 친절하다는 점도 좋았습니다.

Εξαιρετική διαμονή στο σπίτι της οικογένειας Carney.  Το σπίτι είναι πολύ όμορφο και ακριβώς όπως περιγράφεται, ενώ οι οικοδεσπότες είναι φιλικοί και φρόντισαν όλα να κυλήσουν ρολόι. Η γειτονιά του Savin Hill είναι όμορφη αν και από τις λιγότερο γνωστές γειτονιές της Βοστώνης.  Το σπίτι είναι πολύ κοντά στο σταθμό του τρένου, μόνο 10 λεπτά από το κέντρο της Βοστώνης.

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at John's place in West Roxbury. The property was just as advertised and the photos really do give it justice! It was spacious, yet cozy at the same time and clean too! While it's a little bit further away from downtown Boston, it was walking distance to a commuter rail line (about 25 minutes to Back Bay stop). If you do rent a car, street parking is not a problem at all.

We had a wonderful time staying in Damien's place. It was very convent to the T and an easy walk to the village for food & groceries. The place was very comfortable & relaxing to me back to after sightseeing & walking all over Boston all day. Our 2yr old daughter loved his little girls room so we never had a problem putting her to bed in there. The only down side was all the stairs our little girl wanted to walk up by herself without any help, but that's a 2yr old!

My experience was fairly positive. I arrived at Dan's past midnight due to a late arriving flight into Boston. Finding his house was pretty easy despite the 30 minutes it took to find a parking spot. There are no lights on his street and none were left on in or at the house so I fumbled around quite a bit to figure out how to get in and where my room was. Once I figured that out, everything went pretty well. The room is small, but clean. The bed isn't very comfortable and very loud. I would suggest it is great for a one night crash pad for one person, but I wouldn't stay there any longer or with more people than that.

The room is in the top floor and has air con. There are stairs to the room but this lazy man with a 50lb pack had no troubles.<br/>We found the houses links to both the City and to the airport very convenient and the area seemed safe. There is a serviced laundrette down the block should you feel the need.<br/>Breakfast was toast, fruit and the best strong coffee I have had in the US.

Stuart made us feel really welcome when we arrived, showing us round the studio and happy to answer our questions about the city and area. We were able to check in early which was great. The studio worked really well for us. Although it was a little way out of the city it was literally a 5-minute walk to the end of the Orange subway line (Forest Hills) and from there only a 15-20 minute ride downtown. It was very well equipped so if you wanted to stay in and cook you could - we walked down to Centre Street and can recommend both Noodle Barn (good value) and Vee Vee (more upmarket). It was a quiet neighbourhood and we felt safe walking back at night. 
<br/>Stuart and Helen provided excellent breakfasts! There was yoghurt, fresh fruit and juice every day as well as delicious fresh pastries/homemade muffins. 
<br/>Stuart was always to hand (via text) when we wanted advice/directions anywhere.
<br/>Thank you for letting us stay - we really enjoyed ourselves (despite the tropical storm!)

I absolutely enjoyed the stay at Deborah's place and can only recommend it for several reasons. The probably most important point is the fact that it feels like a very traditional experience, e.g. staying with friends and family.
<br/>
<br/>There is always someone at home and this makes it easy to get to know people from a lot of different places – you will always find someone to talk to.
<br/>
<br/>Another aspect worth mentioning is the good reachability by public transport. Given the fact Boston's transport system has a lot of dark spots, Deborah's place appears as a bright corner of Boston as you are able to reach a lot of locations quite fast due to a very near bus stop.
<br/>
<br/>Deborah is always available if there is something to talk about and she has useful advice regarding stores all around Boston.
<br/>
<br/>Probably the best part of the experience here was that guests do not feel like "just another person", but rather they are able to enjoy Boston at a place and with a host that is exactly what people are looking for when they decide to come to this New England pearl.
<br/>
<br/>I would therefore absolutely come back!

Our stay with Barrie and his family is absolutely delightful. On the first day of arrival, Barrie's mom-in-law, Teresa, warmly welcomed us and gave us a very detailed introduction to the house. Our room is very big, holding up a queen bed, two study desks and a lot of space. All the public areas are very new, nice and clean.  The bed is comfortable and it was very quiet at night. We slept pretty well.
<br/>
<br/>Although we shared bathroom with Teresa, we never felt any inconvenience. The bathroom was almost always available and very clean. We share the public area with several other guests and we could feel that Barrie and his family are making best efforts to accommodate everyone's need and make us home. Breakfast is provided, which is not a standard for air bnb hosts. Every morning we have coffee, bread, cereal, peanut butter, jam and juice for free. There are also washer and dryer in the living room, which guests can use freely. Furthermore, there is a key-less entry to the house. At times we had to come back late, we didn't need to worry about troubling other people.
<br/>
<br/>The room came with a private parking lot, which was what we need. At that time, we were in the middle of moving and carried a lot of stuff in our car. The parking lot is outside the house, but it was very safe. I work in the longwood medical area and it took me about half an hour to get there, with one bus transition. For me, this is totally reasonable travel time for such low rent.
<br/>
<br/>Barrie and Karina are a lovely couple. They are very kind, reasonable and helping. I feel lucky to have this chance to live with them and if possible, I would love to stay there again. Barrie, good luck to your MBA degree and Karina, best wishes to your board exam! May God bless you!

Worth to visit around. We highly recommend and we will be back definitely!

It was such a pleasure staying in Tyree's home! She was very friendly and welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we would be comfortable during our stay. The studio was very clean and spacious. We felt safe in the neighborhood and it was conveniently close to all of the things we wanted to do while we were in Boston. I would definitely recommend her home for others planning to visit Boston and would love to stay there again the next time I go back!

I loved being at Phyllis, she was so welcoming and the home is so beautiful and the cookie delicious. I felt very comfortable and happy at her Phyllis' house and if ever in the area again, I will definitely consider staying with her. Thank you Phyllis. :)

One of the best air bnbs I've stayed at.  It was even better than I expected in person.  Spotlessly clean, more spacious than the pictures depict, and incredibly quiet and private.  Adriana was available right next door when I needed something, and she was warm, helpful and lovely.  The apartment is a short walk to the orange line (which, for non-locals, is much easier than the green line).  a good find, I hope to be back I the future.

Atef and the apartment were wonderful. The garden was beautiful, and the unit was very spacious. I especially loved that there was a full kitchen, with a coffee maker and toaster. There is a grocery store close by, and the T as well. The community is very quiet.

Paul and his one bedroom apartment on 67 Joy Street are fantastic. He was quick to respond, super friendly, and very accommodating with my check in and check out. <br/>The apartment is extremely well kept, clean, and updated. There was plenty of room for 3-4 guests (using the comfy pull out couch).  <br/>It's also incredibly close to everything. The location couldn't have been better. <br/>We truly enjoyed our time in Boston - largely in part to our stay on Joy Street.

We stayed for 2 nights - 4 adults and 3 kids. 
<br/>
<br/>Tiffany was the perfect hostess from A to Z! 
<br/>She followed up on our questions quickly, gave us super detailed info  about the house, worked super hard to give us the house in tip top shape, and provided everything that was listed and much more - hair products and tools, snacks, brochures and maps of the city etc. etc.
<br/>She even got a package for me that could not have been sent abroad! 
<br/>
<br/>The house is amazing - super stylish and well equipped with everything you might need and didn't even think you'll need (the largest amount of towels I have ever seen in my life!). 
<br/>
<br/>The location is great, Southie is a lovely neighbourhood and it's super close to downtown (Uber was 10-15 mins. for 8-10$). A convince store is just at the top of the street. 
<br/>
<br/>You will need to find a good parking spot (that might be challenging), but Tiffany is there to help you with that as well! 
<br/>
<br/>Thank you Tiffany for the perfect hosting and for welcoming us to Boston!

Thanks for letting us stay in your house. We really enjoyed our time in Boston. The house itself is a wonderful, eclectic mix of furnishings and was so very comfortable. Quiet street, very close to train and bus and with the weekly pass we travelled all over at a fraction of a cost. Great to have all the food extras and the bottle of wine (thank you), they got us off to a great start to a fantastic week. Would definitely stay again if we come back to Boston.

We stayed at Alex ' s charming two level boston home and it was perfectly convenient to move around from as the orange line station Roxbury crossing is closeby. Alex is a wonderful helpful guy who saved us from missing our connection when the Boston cab didn't send a cab as ordered though we had reserved one the night before. All in all we had a real good time and would go back anytime. Thanks Alex.<br/>P.S. He was very good about our early arrival. Pulled a rabbit out of his hat.

We are very happy with our choice! Jacklyn and Joel were very accommodating!

The arrival and the key handover worked very easy. Based on the time of departure they were very understanding and flexible. We really felt at home! Thank you!

Tyree's appartment is an absolute top choice! It's really large, nicely equipped and looks brand new and clean. The neighborhood itself is lovely and quiet. <br/>But the best thing is Tyree herself! Even though we didn't meet her personally, she impressed us with very detailed descriptions, free drinks in the appartment and a mail response time of seconds! Highly recommended :-)!!

My stay with Howard in his accommodations in the North End of Boston was wonderful. Howard was a generous host and the rooms (bedroom and bathroom) were comfortable and luxurious.   The photo does not do it justice. The bed and furnishings was very comfortable. The massage chair was a nice perk at the end of a long day. Howard also provided maps, umbrellas, robes, and great advice about near by restaurants.  The location could not be more perfect. It is blocks away from Faneuil Hall, the North End church, restaurants and museums. It was also private and quiet.  The neighborhood was charming and felt very safe.  All in all, I had a great time and hope for a return visit.

First, let me say: I cannot recommend Susan's condo highly enough(!) Book here - you will not be disappointed! :) Susan was consistently and rapidly responsive to all of my communications, from first booking right through to leaving. She has been incredibly inviting. I arrived slightly later to her place than I'd expected, despite that her partner was still available to greet us and helped with bags. The apartment itself is truly stunning, modern fresh and clean, it looks exactly as it is on the pictures and is very secure with external and internal locking doors, and in a safe neighborhood too. The beds are very comfortable and the shower is a dream. Susan even provided some items ready in the fridge for our arrival - a VERY much appreciated touch! I can't speak more highly of Susan or this apartment. If you have any questions please get in touch.

This was my first time using air bnb, and the experience was great! Nik and Shawn's place was very conveniently located a short walk from the t stop, and the neighborhood felt very safe to walk around even at night. The apartment was very clean and nice and exactly as described in the listing. Private bathroom was a big plus! Due to conflicting schedules I didn't interact much with Shawn and Nik, but they were very welcoming and helpful when I did. Had a great experience and would definitely stay there again in the future!

This house is Yossi's parents so his Dad welcomed me on arrivals. He was very helpful especially regarding car parking. The place is nice and comfortable, you even get complimentary breakfast.  Slightly away from the city center but the train stop near by is safe, the journey to town takes approximately 50 minutes. I had an enjoyable stay

She was prompt in responding to my inquiry, gave us helpful tips about directions and made sure we felt welcome on the afternoon of our arrival. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Although we were just there one night we enjoyed dinner out in Dorchester and a lovely walk through the neighborhood the following morning. Polly was there early preparing fruit, muffins and coffee as she does for all guests.

Janet  provided us excellent directions on how to get to the apartment easily and free using public transportation from the airport.  We were able to access the apartment via the lockbox and Janet greeted us shortly after. Like others have said, the spiral staircase is a chore to navigate when you have luggage. But once it's up there, you don't have to worry about it again until it's time to check out. It's on the 3rd floor so not for those who can't do the stairs. 
<br/>
<br/>The location of the apartment is perfect. We walked everywhere from our homebase in Beacon Hills. We walked the Freedom Trail,  The commons, the Gardens, the north end (little Italy) downtown, the Esplanade, the Newbury shopping area, the harbor walk.  We easily caught the subway to Harvard and Fenway from very near the apartment. 
<br/>
<br/>Within a block of the apartment: Paramount which is famous for breakfast, the line is long but it's kind of a fun must do experience (go on a weekday for shorter line). The pastry shop Tatte, has beautiful sandwiches and light lunch options in addition to out of this world breakfast treats. 75 Chestnut was a lovely upscale dinner and the Upper Crust was fun for a creative slice of pizza on the go. On the days it rained and we didn't want to travel too far, there were plenty of cute little shops to explore on Charles Street, one block away from the apartment
<br/>
<br/>Closet space was surprisingly generous for a studio apartment in a turn of the century building. There is no dresser, so unpack and use the closet and shelving for your clothes. The little kitchen was complete, although we only used the mini fridge. Shower is definitely one at a time. The wifi worked perfectly.  The TV was easy to figure out. We were out and about all day every day and only used the room to sleep, so it was perfect for our needs and such an amazing bargain compared to boutique hotels in the area. I would recommend it!

Great location in the North End with lots of Italian restaurants nearby. We were easily able to see Boston with this as our home base by walking or taking the subway which was about 5 min away. As other reviewers have said, it is very noisy as we could hear people talking next to/below us and people walking around above us. Parking was expensive but that was expected. Apartment was small, fairly clean, and served its purpose. Also, Jose responded quickly to our questions via text.

The apartment is beautiful, clean and quiet.  It's about 5 min's walk to the boston world trade center and seaport hotel. You can see the beautiful seaport view through the window. There are plenty of restaurants and a nice grocery store downstairs. If you like seafoods and lobster, you can buy them at the Yankee  lobster, they are live and fresh.  And the transportation is very convenient , the silver line is close which transfer from the airport to the south station. There is a kitchen with all utensils where you can cook as you like. The bathroom is clean and provide towels ,toothpaste and bath supplies. The host  George is a very nice and considerate gentleman.  I strongly recommend this apartment and I think I will be back next time if I visit Boston again.

Our family loved our stay in Katy's beautiful home, which is on a quiet street in Boston. Katy is a thoughtful and welcoming host, who provided us with a notebook about the area (including public transit information, which was a plus!) and left fresh fruit and cookies for us to eat upon our arrival. Katy's home is spacious and beautifully decorated -- the perfect place for our far-flung family to reconnect. All of the bedrooms are attractive and the beds are extremely comfortable. Special features include a third floor bedroom that has a great view of the neighborhood and two of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. We hope to book with Katy again!

Terry's place was just as expected, very clean and cozy. The neighborhood seemed safe during the day and night, we mainly used Uber and that was no problem at all and not too expensive either. Terry had a binder with information on Boston, maps, food, tourist attractions, very well organized. Wish we had better weather but we made the most of it. Just gives us another reason to come back.

Wonderful stay at Chris and Kristina's place.   They were wonderful and fully communicated everything with us before and during the stay.  We arrived very late and they had our instructions and even allowed us to park in their parking spot so we didn't have to find street parking in the wee hours (THANK YOU AGAIN!)   The studio was clean and perfect base for our Boston adventures, it was walking distance to Sam Adams and the T stop was super convenient and easy to get to.   The only thing different from the pictures that was noticeable was the bathroom door was a little less private than pictured - luckily we have been married for awhile and are long past that being an issue.   Overall we glad to make this our home base and we would gladly recommend (and stay here again!)

Yvonne is an excellent host. She and her family were very nice and welcoming with me and they really made me feel at home. <br/>The room is exactly as shown in the listing, it's very large, so is the bed and it's very comfortable. Yvonne's house is big and they invited me to use the kitchen whenever I needed, and I also shared some very nice moments with the family in their lovely and cozy living room. The house is conveniently located near bus stops that take you to the T red line station, and coming and going downtown is a very easy ride, which takes about 40 minutes, depending on the day of the week. <br/>As a host, Yvonne is very attentive and kind, she picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station and she was always very attentive, wanting to make sure I had all I needed, and responded to all my messages very quickly. <br/>I really enjoyed my stay at the Jones' and I hope I'll be able to come back someday. It's a highly recommendable place to stay while in Boston. Thanks for your hospitality and for being so nice with me

We had an awesome stay at Evelyn's house!  Her dog was adorable and very polite.  The third floor was very comfortable and private.  We left our car here for the weekend, and took the subway (only a 5 minute walk away) into the city (~10 min ride - MUCH better than driving/parking).  Breakfast was also a nice touch! The neighbourhood around her house is quiet, but the proximity to main streets came in handy for getting there.

Short attention span reading - Stay there, Just Do It.  You will not regret it.
<br/>Full review.  The North End is an incredible place in Boston with the history and food options, in addition to the proximity to the rest of the city.  La Gemma is located in a great area, quiet at night, yet so close to everything.  Imagine walking past the North Church (one if by land, two by sea) every time you head "home."  Great restaurants are all within a 5-10 minute walk, and a couple of T stops only a few more minutes than that.  The place is completely modernized and the pictures and description totally accurate.  Everything works, the beds are comfortable, and Gina's place really is an easy place to live for a few days or more.  Gina was very responsive to questions and does everything to make sure your stay is hassle free.  We've stayed at a bunch of air bnb places and this is one of, if not the best one.  The house and Gina are a model of what you hope for in an Air bnb experience.

<br/>The room is cosy and in the corner, away from the main road. The neighbors are not noisy. Buses run quite frequently and having a good bus mobile app helps to plan out.

For two people staying at this place it was super cozy and in the perfect location. Check in and check out was great. Our time was spent mainly in downtown Boston and this place is literally right across the street from the train station. Very simple hop on to the transit and we were set to go!

Pros: Jil's house is a BEAUTIFUL Victorian and in a great location of the city and she was very communicative with setting up arrival times, coordinating etc. 
<br/>Cons: Then, my plans changed on the seond day and I asked for a refund of the last day but Jil refused to accept this offer... and this left a little sour taste in my mouth. 
<br/>But ignoring that, I still recommend Jil's place if you're interested in checking out JP in a beautiful Victorian mansion!

I had a wonderful stay at Jonathan's place.  He was a gracious host especially given the late booking.  All the info for arrival and helpful info for the house was sent out before arrival to facilitate an easy check-in and check-out.  Jonathan made a point to meet me and offer suggestions for my trip which was appreciated.  Finally, the house was beautiful and spotless.  If I return to Boston I would happily stay at the loft again.

We had a lovely time at Helens place. She and her husband were extremely helpful with any query we had. Not to forget we were provided with a variety of breakfast delights every morning! <br/>The apartment itself is gorgeous - quintessentially New England. Local amenities (including some excellent restaurants - I'd recommend Costellos) are about 5 minutes walk away. Boston itself is a 15 minute ride away and could not be easier to get to on the Orange line. <br/>Definitely recommended, even if you're looking at visiting the city mostly.

We had the whole third floor for our zelfs. A kitchen-area was included. We found coffee, milk, sugar, tea and 2 cups with yoghurt. Good information provided in a good way. Good functioning wifi. Good beds. And everything was clean. Both (Kelly and her husband) were nice people to meet.

I am so thankful for Polly's hospitality!  My husband and I were delayed in Boston due to flights cancelations and she excepted our booking at the  very last minute in the late evening.  She was super responsive and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived.  The bed was extra cozy and we truly enjoyed sitting on her front porch that evening.  She also answered all our questions about the getting back to the airport and suggested the most amazing Thai food restaurant. Polly really gave us a sense of comfort that evening. We are grateful to have met her.

My friend and I had a lovely stay at Fj's house. The space is comfortable and more than adequate for a stay of a night or longer. We were there 6 nights. We arrived in the evening and were able to get in easily with the instructions Fj had sent beforehand. She emailed us the complete handbook for the house so we knew what to expect - very helpful. We loved the beds which had great comforters and pillows for cooler nights . Our only contact with Fj was via texting but she was very quick in responding to any questions/concerns. Roslindale center is very close and has good places to eat/shop. We also discovered Jamaica Plain in our search for gluten/dairy free options for meals and there are a number of restaurants there that were accomodating. Lovely walks near Jamaica Pond and in the Arboretum.  Two delicious meals in Roslindale at Sophie's Grotto and Birch St. Bistro. We had a car and only used public transportation once to go into downtown Boston. Very easy. We really enjoyed being in a more relaxed neighborhood - people were very friendly and helpful. Had a great time!!!

I didn't get to meet Dan because he was out of town with work but the process of collecting keys was very easy and the place is just like the photos.  The bed was a little squeaky but I still got a good night's sleep, and the extra blankets provided weren't needed.  The shower had lots of hot water and the kitchen appeared to be fully equipped, although I didn't use it.  I was there from Monday to Wednesday and there was very little noise from outside, although I can't speak to what it's like at the weekend.  The double bedroom is upstairs from the single bedroom and I could hear the people staying there moving around, but I think they were wearing their shoes, which the guest sheet requested not to be done.
<br/>All in all I was very happy with my stay here and would certainly come back again!

I was very pleased by the neighborhood as well - I felt very safe walking around, and shops and restaurants were just a quick walk away.  Parking out front of the house was also very convenient.  I would recommend Rebecca as a host to anyone!

He was very helpful and friendly.  Loved his Boston accent!<br/>Recommend eating at Giacomo's on Hanover and getting dessert at Mike's Pastry!<br/>Boston Common and Boston Public Garden was great for letting our kids run around and stretch their legs and chase squirrels and take adorable pictures!

The Carney's have a beautiful old home in a quiet residential neighborhood.  They are great communicators and made us feel welcome on our arrival as well as being available to us (but not intrusive) if we had any questions.  The home is very clean and convenient to the "T" subway system.  We walked to the JFK Library around Dorchester Bay and used the cab they recommended to get to the airport early in the morning.  They have incorporated many processes to make their guests visits work seamlessly and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Thank you Mary and Barney.

The apartment is nicely decorated with a good spacious feel to it and is well set up to enjoy the beach which is only a short walk. It would be great for a family in the summer as there is a large well equipped kitchen and nice outdoor eating but no table for eating inside. It is not really suitable for elderly people or anyone with mobility limitations since the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is located down a narrow staircase with tight turns and there is a steep staircase to enter the apartment. Meri was responsive to fixing several issues we encountered upon arrival.

Très grandes chambre et salle de bain, décorées avec goût et très propres. Étant les deux seules pièces du dernier étage, on a presque l'impression d'avoir un appartement privé complet! Le reste de la maison est magnifique et Evelyn, même si elle s'est fait discrète lors de notre séjour, est très accueillante et accommodante. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le petit déjeuner qu'elle laissait pour nous le matin dans la cuisine, ainsi que la proximité du T (subway) à 5-6 min de marche. Le quartier est très calme et semble sécuritaire. La marche du retour à la maison tard le soir s'est faite sans crainte! C'était vraiment l'endroit parfait pour notre séjour à Boston!

We had a great time with Sami. He was a excellent host. Before we finished booking, he asked us wanna book it or not cuz someone was inquiring too. This action was so sweet or we would lost chance staying with a such nice host. He dropped off us to home when we were arrival and gave us a ride to subway when we were gone. That made us more easier because we had heavy luggages. We had a good conversation with him too. He was nice to talk. Besides, his son and his cat were so cute. And location was good as well. It was easy to reach to downtown Boston. I do recommend staying with Sami.

Catlin's apartment was a peaceful, clean, and well-appointed resting place for our family of eight grown adults.  The beds were super comfortable with beautiful linens in each bedroom.  We found the best little breakfast/lunch cafe, Canto 6, in the neighborhood and met a wonderful couple from the area who told us all about the history of the Jamaica Plains neighborhood.  Parking can be a bit challenging for large vehicles since street parking isn't allowed during the day, but Caitlin worked hard to find the space to park both our SUV and minivan.  The only thing our men missed was access to watching their weekend NFL games after a day of sightseeing, but the lack of a TV was offset by everyone hanging out together at the dining room table...even if each of us was on our own laptops connected to the wifi...it was still extended together time! :)

Location of unit is excellent; very close to everything. The apartment was clean and everything worked. The building is rather tired and so is the apartment but that is to be expected in this part of Boston. It works well for someone who wants a place to stay and will be out and about to enjoy everything that Boston has to offer. Jose was very responsive to phone calls and immediately returned a call when I left a message. Unit is at the top of three steep and narrow flights of stairs; that didn't bother us but may be an issue for others.

<br/>The house was exactly as described in the profile so we had no nasty surprises. 
<br/>The neighborhood is lovely and the house is very conveniently located for public transport.  There are several restaurants and places to go out and we particularly like a cafe called "City Feed and Supply". Their pecan buns are out of this world!

Andres' location was perfect. It was only a five minute walk to the Park St stn, which served to be a central transferring area that connected most of the basic transit & touring routes. It was also a two minute walk to Charles stn, which served a touring route to Harvard and MIT for tourists. It was a five minute walk to everything, hospital, 24hr convenience store, metro stations, eateries, coin laundromat, and more. Andres was very responsive to my questions and needs. The residence itself was very clean, cozy, and stacked with everything that one needs for travel. FOR WORKOUT JUNKIES, there is a 24/7 gym called planet fitness. which is located ten min away from Andres'. Signing up fee was only $5 dollars, with a one month fee for $10, beating a regular one time gym use fee of any other gyms. The Boston Common park was right next to Andres' as well, allowing for morning jogs and whatnot. Andres' also has a private entrance, which allows for privacy and fluidity for your activities!

Herminas house is nice but we had the impression that it is more an Inn than a private home. Our room C on the third floor was spartanic but ok. Don't bring heavy luggage - the stairs are very steam. Hermina helped us to transport our bags upstairs. She offers a little breakfast.

John's directions to the apartment were clear & concise. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well designed. Took some effort to get to know train & bus connections (schedule and map/directions in apartment would be useful), but once we were orientated, it was easy to get around. Convenient stores nearby. John was a helpful, contactable host.

The apartment is exactly as you see in the photos. Well decorated and maintained. James and Pierre made it so easy to get comfortable and even left delicious chocolates on our pillows.  This would be a spot I would love to stay again when visiting Boston.  The area the apartment is located is quiet and residential. Shops were near buy to pick up anything you may have forgotten.  James and Pierre was quick with all responses and genuinely happy to help with any questions to make this a perfect stay.

It was great to stay at Jil's. Nice spacious suite with private entrance and private bathroom (but you had to pass through a shared hallway to get to it). It was  nice and clean and beautifully furnished in style with the rest of the house.<br/>At the time we stayed there not much of a kitchen, but Jil told us she would install a zink and a cooking space.

WOW--Paul is an amazing host.  If we could give more than 5 stars we would.  He made sure we got in town safely, had transportation to his beautiful home and had anything that we needed when we arrived.  He checked on us during our stay to make sure things were going well.  I will never stay any place else when we come home to visit.  The apartment could not have been cleaner and had everything we needed for our stay.  It was so nice to be able to cook breakfast in the morning and start our day.  Enough towels for our 10 day stay and more.  It was nice to be able to do laundry if we needed. The convenience of walking to so many places from his home was great and being in such a historical part of Boston was beautiful.   I can't say enough about Paul as a host and person.

Abbiamo trascorso quattro settimane a Boston, ospiti di Ella e Will. La casa è molto carina, pulita e confortevole, proprio come nelle foto. Si trova in un quartiere tranquillo, silenzioso, fornito di ogni tipo di negozio e/o ristorante, ma soprattutto, molto ben collegato con la città, tramite i mezzi pubblici. La casa è indipendente, dotata di ogni comfort (cucina, lavatrice/asciugatrice, TV, wi-fi, riscaldamento/AC, ecc). Will ed Ella sono dei proprietari fantastici! Sempre attenti e disponibili, simpatici e gentili. Con i loro tre bambini sono una splendida famiglia. Per noi è stata una fantastica esperienza, speriamo un giorno di tornare!

Victor's place was really cool and perfect for my husband & I. Victor was super welcoming when we arrived in the evening and had bought in some beers, coffee, snacks and water for us which was great. He showed us around the place and gave us a couple of tips and then left us to relax in his awesome apartment. The location was really good - plenty of bars and restaurants near by and easy for transport downtown on the T, we also got the bus to Harvard from down the street. Thanks Victor!

Now I know why the hosts called themselves CarneyFamily: you don’t feel like a guest but like a long distance family member coming for a visit. You share the house with other long distance family members you haven’t met before what otherwise would happen only at weddings and funerals. I felt strange at the beginning being more used to hotels. Staying at the CarneyFamily couldn’t be more opposed and was exactly what I was looking for. The house may be a little bit tired around the edges but who cares when it is a home. It is very clean with a warm and welcoming as well a peaceful atmosphere. Thank you Mary and Barney for your hospitality and the delicious muffin for breakfast.

This was our first time using Airbnb and it was a great experience! Everything from booking to communication with the host was easy.  My mom and I traveled to Boston for 6 days and the hosts made us feel welcome even before we arrived by helping us with what to see/do there and how the weather was.  Once there, the hospitality continued and they were very helpful each day. The listing description was very accurate and the neighborhood was very nice and safe. The home is not far at all from all the Boston sights on the "T" but we recommend catching the #39 bus which stops at the end of their street and taking it to the Forest Hills "T" station, which takes 5 minutes. Walking to the Green St. station is a 20 minute walk and was a little difficult with luggage. JP is a neat town with things to do within walking distance from the hosts' house. We felt very safe walking around the town and people were very nice and helpful. The home was beautiful, quiet, and clean. We had the entire 3rd floor of the house with a private bath and separate beds. We were surprised to see that toiletries were provided, as well as brochures and travel books of the area on a desk in the room. It was refreshing to stay here versus a hotel and it was nice to get to know the hosts.

As this was our first AirBnB experience we approached it with slight reservation. However when we arrived we found Phil to be incredibly welcoming and friendly. We felt at ease instantly. The area was nice and the house was lovely. We were give a whole floor to ourselves and Phil gave us the utmost respect and privacy. The amenities also were excellent including a pristine bathroom and kitchenette as well as incredibly clean and comfortable beds. We stayed Three nights and they were made very relaxing and enjoyable with the Host we chose. There is a T station about a 7-8 minute walk away that connects you to the city centre and any where else you wish to go.I would highly recommend this to anyone. If I ever come back to boston I'll be coming back here.

Helen provided me with all of the necessary details regarding the space before I arrived and was readily available to meet any additional needs I had during my stay. She also provided me with a lovely welcome basket that included snacks and an assortment of toiletries in case I left any behind. When I'm back in the area, I will definitely stay here again!

We recently stayed in Adam's 1 bedroom apartment in Boston's North End, and loved it. It was centrally located in a great neighborhood. We went for many walks and explored the rich character of the area. Having a clean and very comfortable apartment to come back to at the end of the day really made the trip a success. If you stay here, you will love it. 
<br/>
<br/>Move in was super easy. We received a reminder email with instructions before arriving, and again just before leaving. It was very clear what the procedure was, which made the process easy.

Our experience was really great with Valerie and her lovely home. We were met by her partner Jason who showed us around - he was very warm and offered us advice on the city. The bed was really comfortable and clean - the room is on the third floor, very private, and there was even a silent mini-fridge stocked with some water for us. In the morning there was a continental breakfast that we could help ourselves to, which was a nice touch.
<br/>It's a walk to the airport, close to the T and very comfortable. The bathroom is downstairs, but we had no issue with that. Highly recommend it!

L'appartamento è ampio, spazioso e esattamente come da annuncio. La posizione è buona, e il quartiere residenziale è molto silenzioso, anche se è indispensabile muoversi con i mezzi per raggiungere zone turistiche o di attrazione di Boston (circa 15-20 min di tram dal centro, ci sono 3 fermate abbastanza vicine); c'è un parcheggio privato a disposizione.
<br/>Purtroppo la comunicazione non è stata molto puntuale ed efficace: pur avendo scritto diverse volte tramite airbnb prima di partire, non abbiamo mai ricevuto risposte / messaggi (solo la conferma della prenotazione senza nessun testo); un giorno prima dell'arrivo, è stato recapitato un SMS (con le indicazioni minimali su come entrare in casa) sul mio cellulare da un numero che non era quello indicato su airbnb; ho risposto a quel numero, ma ancora nessun feedback. Alla fine, siamo riusciti a sentirci via SMS usando il numero indicato da airbnb. Purtroppo in casa non era disponibile alcun tipo di comunicazione (es. wireless, numero assegnato per il parcheggio, mappe, informazioni sulla città, etc...). Fortunatamente alcune informazioni minime sono arrivate tramite SMS. Il soggiorno è stato comunque piacevole, la casa era pulita, anche se nel corridoio del condominio c'era davvero un odore di cucinato stagnante poco gradevole, ma di sicuro questo non dipende dall'host. Ci sono almeno 2 posti dove fare il bucato molto vicini e comodi.

We stayed with Tom for 2 nights in his lovely home. The neighbourhood is really quiet and pretty.  The house is just gorgeous and he'd thought of everything we could need.  Lovely soft towels and a selection of little toiletries. The bed is so comfy!  Tom is a wonderful host,  welcoming us warmly and the inclusion of home made breakfast muffins just goes above and beyond! He's a lovely guy and so easy to get on with.  His dog Wonder is very sweet and friendly. The station is a short walk away and then you can be in downtown boston in about 20 mins. Tom kindly recommended a couple of places; The local Vietnamese is really good and Mead hall in the town has 100 beers to try. ..couldn't have been better recommended for us!  We'd definitely stay with Tom again and hope to plan another trip real soon :-)

This apartment was about exactly what I expected from the listing. Simple and clean. There isn't much decoration. Nothing fancy. Note that it's a fourth floor walkup. 
<br/>
<br/>We did not meet the host, but the email with entry instructions was very clear. The bed was VERY comfortable even with my sudden bad back and a chronic hip problem, and the sheets and towels were nice and soft. There were extra pillows in the closet (that we didn't think to look for the first night), but pillowcases for those were... who knows where.
<br/>
<br/>The neighborhood is great, and really central for all North End explorations. Two excellent breakfast cafes are less than a block away. Don't miss Theo's! 
<br/>
<br/>We listened to the bells of the Old North Church -- not at all loud, when inside. And we did get to listen to one side of an argument at 4am one night  (though not so loud that we could hear the words), from someone sharing the same central courtyards I assume, and could hear the neighbors sometimes. But that's life in the city. Fell back asleep with no problem.
<br/>
<br/>As we live nearby, we took commuter rail into North Station and the walk over couldn't be easier. 5 minutes, tops.

I can't begin to thank Jeffrey and Rachel enough for the warm hospitality that was shown to my fiancé and I. We stayed at their place the night of our wedding and it couldn't have been a more perfect night. Jeffrey and Rachel not only were kind enough to share their beautiful home with us, but they also welcomed us with a basket of champagne and chocolate, home-made beer, and home-made banana walnut chocolate chip bread. At the end of a very long night, my fiancé and I headed back to their place, popped open the champagne and ate our first meal as husband and wife, splitting the banana bread. In a day running high with a mixed bag of emotions - anxiety, excitement, happiness, and some sadness, this lovely apartment was the much-needed sanctuary John and I needed to recenter ourselves once again and focus on what's really important - good champagne, good food, good company, and the love and kindness of strangers. Thank you Rachel and Jeff. &lt;3

The kitchen is small but perfect for storing a few snacks and making your morning coffee. In this location you shouldn't be eating in anyway! The key collection/drop off process was also very easy. Highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Boston. I've used AirBnB before in Boston and it was entirely inferior to this experience!

Varouj was a wonderful host! We had a flight delay, and he waited up for us super late in order to show us around the condo. <br/>The condo was stocked with food staples, like milk, coffee, fresh fruit, eggs, water, and more, which was very nice. <br/>We traveled with a 3 month old, and the space was large (much larger than picture makes it look), so we had ample room for the pack n' play, our luggage and baby stuff. <br/>We also had access to the laundry room upstairs, which we utilized. It was clean, and we sat on the clean rooftop deck (overlooking city) while we did laundry.<br/>The view from the condo couldn't be more beautiful! And the "T" station was one block away.<br/>Overall, a great first Airbnb experience! We recommend renting from Varouj, if you are visiting Boston. We will be back!<br/>

What a great time we had at Lita's place in Boston! 7/11 across the street for snacks, Whole Foods down the road for breaky, close to a bus and train that go straight to Copley Square, and great spaces to live. Had 8 adult family members and no complaints from anyone. Loved it!

Unfortunately this evaluation will not be very positive. A day prior to our arrival I had contacted Catlin to find out how we could get access to the house. In her general description she had written that there was a key lock next to a side door but there was no indication as to the code or where I could find it. We were traveling from Philadelphia to Boston that day so it was a long journey and throughout that journey I tried to contact Catlin by email, phone or voice mail, always without success. I was getting more and more worried as I had all my family with me and it was getting towards 8 pm when we arrived. We looked for a key lock at the side door but there was none. I called her again but without success. Finally we saw that there was light in the house so we rang the bell and her neighbours opened for us. They informed us that the key lock was no longer on the side door but next to the front door and that the code would likely be the last four digits of our cell phone. Thank God that worked so we managed to get into the house. There we found the next surprises. In general the house was fine but we had subscribed to a cleaning fee of over 250 $ for staying just two days (!) and were very surprised to find that many parts of the house were not clean. There was hair on the bed sheets and the sink was quite dirty etc. Needless to say that we did not expect this. Again we tried to clairfy this with our host without success and eventually decided to contact airbnb who helped us to resolve the situation. Apart from the total lack of communication the cleanliness issues the house was fine, as was the neighborhood. You are not exactly near the universities (at least not MIT or Harvard) with about 20 minutes by car, but you are nor too far either.  The house lacked some basics such as cereal bowls or tea spoons so if you feel you need them you better bring them with you. The neighbors downstairs are kind and friendly. Oh yes and don't be surprised if some of the light switches are in unusual locations :-). It will take a while until you have identified everything.

Valerie und Jason sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Das Haus befindet sich in East Boston. Die Gegend macht einen ganz guten Eindruck, ist aber nicht so nobel wie manch andere Viertel. Parken konnte ich gut in der Straße. Das Zimmer liegt im Dachgeschoss und ist genauso wie beschrieben. Vor allem das Bett ist wirklich sehr bequem! Das Badezimmer für den Gast befindet sich im untersten Stock neben der Küche und dem Wohnbereich. Jason und Valerie nutzen das Bad nicht selbst, man sollte aber wissen, dass der Gast auf dem Weg dort hin durch das Wohnzimmer muss und den beiden dort auch begegnet wenn sie zuhause sind. <br/>In der Küche stehen Kaffee, Tee und kleine Snacks den ganzen Tag zur Verfügung. Auch im Badezimmer ist alles vorhanden: Handtücher, Shampoo, Duschgel, Fön, Haarspray.... <br/>Ich hatte einen schönen Aufenthalt bei den beiden und wir haben uns sehr nett unterhalten. (Bei Chocolate mint :-)<br/>Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort wohnen! Vielen Dank nochmals an Valerie und Jason :-) <br/>

They gave us great suggestions on what to do in the neighborhood and in Boston. Jamaica Plain is a peaceful neighborhood with beautiful old houses and great little cafes and restaurants.

My husband and I came to Boston to visit our daughter. This was our first experience using Airbnb and it was nothing but positive. The studio apartment was exactly as shown in the photos by Suzanne with lovely decor, particularly the window seat. It was very clean and included amenities we had not expected by which made it even more comfortable. Such things as fresh coffee grounds and fresh towels left for us mid stay. Obtaining access to the studio was quite easy upon arrival even though we had flight delays. She was easily reachable for any questions throughout our stay. She was a great resource for transportation, restaurant and activities throughout the city. Suzanne is a very kind person and it is clear she enjoys renting her studio. She had a nice way of making herself available yet not intrusive by any means.  <br/>Our favorite part of the apartment was the location within Boston. It was central yet very quiet neighborhood and one we never felt unsafe, despite walking most of the time at various times of the day and evening.  The building is quite secure. It is situated nicely between Charles River & Boston college with a block of restaurants, shops and public transit on the other side of the university. We were able to walk down the river path to Boston commons in a reasonable amount of time. At others, we used Uber which was quite reasonable even in the early hours back to the airport. <br/>We look forward to staying again in hopes that the studio is available the next time we're in Boston.

Stacy's home was wonderful.  It was perfect for my family of 5, with plenty of room to spare.  It is located in a great part of Boston, within walking distance of many excellent restaurants and sights.  Every morning, we walked right down the street for a delicious breakfast at The South End Buttery.  The home itself has everything one would need and more; we didn't do much cooking this time, but the kitchen was well-stocked had we chosen to do so.  We also loved just hanging out, watching t.v. and playing pool, in our downtime.  
<br/>
<br/>Stacy was a pleasure to deal with, as was her mom, who showed us around when we checked in.  The welcome information (provided ahead of time) was very informative and appreciated, as was the bottle of wine Stacy left for us.  Stacy also helped arrange a parking space for us, which was very helpful, as parking is a challenge in her neighborhood.  Stacy checked in via text once or twice during our stay to make sure all was well, and was very responsive to the couple questions I had.  She even helped us after we checked out by going to our parking space to look for a missing pair of headphones.  All in all, just a terrific place and experience.  We wished we had had more time to spend there, and would return in a heartbeat.

It's located in Jamaica Plain, is about 6 blocks from the free Sam Adams brewery tour, and is very safe. I'm glad we stayed there, and we would not hesitate to book with Evelyn again.

What a fantastic place! I think as far as apartments in the Boston area go, this is as good a deal as you can find. It's located in a picturesque and safe neighborhood, pretty easy to get to (even at night), and the apartment is just stunningly beautiful. There are so many interesting things to discover and everything is so tasteful, that is was really too bad we did not get to meet Valery in person. He was really easy to communicate and coordinate with, too. There is no doubt that we would stay at his place again.

Shawn's excellent communication skills are the perfect mix of professional, personable, and considerate. His warm personality made me feel like a family friend had agreed to let me stay at his place after learning that I would be visiting Boston. The room was as pictured, and it was very comfortable with a desk & chair, chest of drawers, and hangers in the closet. The bathroom was modern and clean. There were helpful notes on the doors as well as a printout in the room with information about local shopping/dining. I felt safe walking in the neighborhood when I made my way to the Stop and Shop. An Uber ride into Cambridge was around $10. Also, the train station was in easy walking distance. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The listing was accurate. The room was comfortable with a separate shared bathroom. The layout was a little unusual though as you had to walk through the shared kitchen / living area to reach the bathroom. The location was in a pretty suburb of Boston. Younger people might prefer to stay right in the bustle of the centre, but as we were travelling with a young child we weren't planning on late nights out. This location turned out well as it was considerably cheaper than staying in the centre but only a 20min train journey away from Boston Common in the centre. We didn't really see much of our hosts apart from a brief meeting.

Terry's place was beautiful and a perfect space for our family. It is extremely comfortable, the beds delightful, the towels plentiful, plus a well equipped little kitchen. The apartment was located just a 7 minute walk from the Roxbury Crossing station which got us everywhere we wanted to visit, that wasn't within walking distance. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is an easy mile walk in the Fenway area. Despite being fairly central, we  found the neighborhood pretty quiet. This is definitely a neighborhood on an upswing and we felt quite safe walking around in the evening. There wasn't a plethora of restaurants very near by, but with the proximity of the T, or a willingness to walk about 20 minutes (we had a 4, 8 and 70 year old with us, to assess how quickly we walked) you could find some fabulous food and beer - yay Squealing Pig. This was a great base to explore Boston, stellar accommodations without paying downtown prices. Thank you.

The House was very big, the room was nice and the arrival was no problem at all, as Marlene left us a letter with the key and a very well organized description and map of the house. Unfortunate the sheets were just ready from the dryer when we arrived, later then planed. So if we would've arrived earlier like planed, we couldn't lay down as the bed wouldn't be ready.
<br/>The people in the house were very nice and very welcoming!
<br/>Unfortunate it didn't say in the listing how many people live in the house and when we arrived there were about 8 people in the house, which is a lot. Therefore the kitchen wasn't as clean as shown in the listing and the house little messy unlike in the pictures. It didn't bother us too much, because we understand of the situation, although for the room price we would rather be comfortable cooking in the kitchen.
<br/>
<br/>My reason for a poor grading is the invasion of privacy, when they moved a table into our room during our Absence, which we didn't like at all. I could have private things or bras laying around. Another incident was; kind of waking us up as we slept in, because the room owner needed something from her room and asked if she could look for it cuz she couldn't leave the house otherwise.
<br/>
<br/>Other then that we very liked the room and the friendly students living there.

A wonderful space. Loved it. Plenty of room. The bed wasn't particularly comfy but that's the only minor flaw I can think of. Obviously because it's an old densely populated neighborhood your windows look right into other people's windows but there were easy to use roller blinds for all the windows (except one - couldn't quite figure out why).  The sound insulation seems to be really good - I couldn't hear the people below at all - and when I walked past their door on the way in and out they were definitely in there chatting away and watching TV but none of that sound transmitted upwards to the apartment, and there's no one above you.  The refrigerator is full-sized, the kitchen has all I'd need and was plenty big enough to cook meals. The neighborhood is just amazing. Very few cars, everyone walking, tiny windy streets, lots of small shops, lots of people chatting in Italian and smoking. Loved it loved it loved it. I'll stay in this place again if I'm ever back in Boston.

Great location!!!!! I could not have asked better for my first experience with an Airbnb. Jose was quick to respond to emails and made everything super easy. I will definitely be staying here when I come back to visit Boston. The price is right and the location is what makes the stay so enjoyable. You basically have an apartment to yourself. Jose does not stay with you, so you have the whole place to yourself or the guest you brought with. It was more than enough space considering Hotels would not have the same amenities. Plus id be spending 3x the amount I paid. You can walk into downtown Boston within minutes. literally minutes. maybe 5-10min if you get distracted looking at all the great shops along the way. The apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable. Small kitchen but who comes to actually cook? I came for all the seafood! Besides, you have a kitchen if you need one. Couch and TV as well. But all those things were more than I needed. 
<br/>Thanks Jose!!!
<br/>I WILL BE BACK!!!

We had a great time staying here for 2 nights. The apartment is fantastic and in a great location. It's just a short stroll to Boston Common. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a nice place to stay.

Lovely, lovely time at Yossi's place. His mother greeted me at the door. A lovely older woman who made me feel extremely welcome and made sure I had everything that I needed/wanted. It is a very large house and you get an entire wing to yourself. I never saw or heard them while I was there. They also leave milk, cereal and other awesome snacks for you to enjoy which was super helpful. It is a nice clean room with its own bathroom. It is a quick walk to a nice center of town and very easily connects you into Boston. A super cheap Uber or public transportation will get you into downtown Boston very quickly. I walked to Kenmore and it was a very enjoyable walk. I would highly recommend the room/wing. Thank you Yossi and fam!!

Victor was fantastic, definitely one of the most welcoming hosts I've had at an AirBnB. He was kind enough to let me check in early and brought me a bottle of wine and explained everything about the apartment.
<br/>
<br/>The place was perfect for one or two people and was decorated with many cool photographs. I especially appreciated the left-handed electric guitars and collection of vintage effects pedals. The loft bed is comfortable, though a little tricky to jump in and out of, especially in the middle of the night when it's dark. Everything is well laid out and convenient. There is a tiny kitchen area that has a small refrigerator stocked with snacks and bottled water, a very thoughtful touch. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with towels.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment is in an older building that seems to house a lot of students from the nearby college. The public stairwell areas seem kind of run down and dingy, but the apartment itself is nice and clean. 
<br/>
<br/>The Green Line T stop is literally a 2 minute walk away. It was very convenient, even though the Green Line can take a while to get in and out of the city. 
<br/>
<br/>I had a great stay and would stay here again.

Barney made sure we found his place easily, and allowed us to park our car earlier on in the day, which was really appreciated.
<br/>
<br/>The shower was nice and hot, and we were even able to get some laundry done while we were there.  The night was peaceful and quiet.  
<br/>
<br/>The only concern we had was that the bedroom was right by the front door, and so we were able to easily here people leaving in the morning.  
<br/>
<br/>Lovely breakfast and coffee was provided, which was another bonus.  We didn't get to meet the family, but the communication was always there. 
<br/>
<br/>Overall a nice stay.

We were met by a relative of Paolo who could not have been more accommodating about meeting us, a quick telephone call about 15 minutes before we arrived at the apartment and he duly arrived with a set of keys. He showed us where everything was in the apartment and if we had any queries then how to contact him. He directed us to Hanover Street ( a 2 minute walkway) where there were more than enough restaurants to pick from. Great location, close to North Station and the Bruins stadium and the waterfront. Really couldn't fault it in any way shape or form.

This felt more like house sitting than staying in someone's spare home/room. Home is 2nd floor of a 3 floor unit (we didn't hear much from 3rd floor but we did need to be a bit mindful of the noise our kids were making -- no late night dance parties). The home is nicely furnished and is fantastic for a family with kids (we were traveling with 3 kids under age 6). There were books and toys to keep everyone entertained. TV and everything else was easy to use. Washer/dryer was super helpful mid way through the week.
<br/>
<br/>Damon gave clear instructions and was generous with fully stocked kitchen (use what you need to... if you use a lot, please replace or leave cash so he can). We stayed here b/c it was close to my sister. But it also turned out to be a nice location with a nice grocery store down the road and an easy 25 min drive into town. There is a driveway but we always parked on the street (never a problem). All in all, highly recommend. Would stay here again.

This is my first experience with Airbnb and Gina set a very high bar. My co-worker and I were traveling for business and decided it would be nice to relax at the end of the day with the comforts of home and we were not disappointed. Finding the door was part of the adventure, but it was the only testing part of our stay. After that it was enjoyable, relaxing and the perfect place to wind down after a long day of meetings. The neighborhood was awesome, we walked home later in the evening from the local restaurants and felt safe and a part of the city. And you can't beat the awesome food that is just a few blocks down the street.
<br/>
<br/>I can't thank Gina enough for her communication both before and during our stay. She was a wonderful host and made for a wonderful stay. Looking forward to staying again soon!!

Hermina is a very friendly host and always responds to questions and concerns! Dorchester might not be the most beautiful area of Boston, but I was perfectly fine and didn't feel unsafe whatsoever. The house is beautiful and the code system for the front door makes things very easy. The rooms are small but pretty, the attic room under the roof is bigger, but not as beautiful as the smaller ones. Maybe that room is more appropriate for 2 or 3 students and not so much for a professional person. <br/>Also: Follow Herminas directions from the airport to the house, they are extremely helpful!

Where to begin! Tom and Wonder were amazing hosts. Tom welcomed us as we approached the apartment and helped us take our bags in. This kind and helpful gesture was one of many during our stay. With recommendations on where to eat, suggestions on things to see and do, coffee and treats in the morning, we cannot say enough good about our experience with Tom and Wonder. We have used airbnb in many cities and countries and both agree Tom and Wonder's home was our favorite for comfort (who doesn't love a cozy room and king sized bed), vicinity to public transit (10 minute walk), and kindness of our host. We HIGHLY recommend staying with Tom when in Boston, and giving Wonder a pat on the head for us.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Jose & Jason's place! It's in a lovely part of the north end, and the apartment was comfortable, clean and exactly what I needed for my business stay in Boston. Jose was also extremely quick to send over all the information I needed as soon as the stay was confirmed - something I really appreciated! As a business traveler it was also really convenient not to have to schedule time to meet up in order to check in - thanks gents for that! 
<br/>
<br/>The bed was very comfortable, the linens and towels all fresh, and I felt very safe in the apartment. My ONLY small issue (and not at the fault of the hosts) is that the people staying in the apartment above me were not particularly quiet walkers up and down the stairs late at night on a weeknight.  
<br/>
<br/>The gents also make sure anyone visiting the location as a tourist have all the information available that one would want to easily find their way around the city in the apartment.  Having wifi and cable available to the apartment was also ideal.  I would absolutely stay again. As a frequent traveler to Boston it would awesome for me to be able to actually grocery shop, have a place that felt homier than a hotel and be able to settle in. Thanks, Jason & Jose!

Elisangela was a perfect host. We arrived earlier than expected and she did all her best to arrive quickly. The apartment is well decorated and  well equipped. Nice small terrace. It is a second floor apartement with small stairs so it is not adapted for people who has physical difficulties, for us was fine !
<br/>The location is fine to use the Train (subway) and visit Boston, only 5 min walking distance. Very quiet neighborhood. We tested as recommanded by Elisangela Angela's cafe just across the street which was a perfect place to eat very good mexican food.
<br/>Very easy to park in front of the apartment for free.
<br/>I totally recommand this place !

We had a great stay at Jil's house. She was very communicative leading up to and during our stay and was very warm and welcoming. The room is beautiful and thoughtfully equipped for guests, with a mini-fridge, sink, dishes and a coffee maker with coffee/tea and fixings for guests. There is even a small table for eating, writing, whatever you need. The house is a gorgeous historic building and really brings home the feeling of being in New England. With a separate entrance and private bathroom and access to laundry, we had our own suite within the house. We absolutely love the Jamaica Plain neighborhood where the home is, and there are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to enjoy within a 5 minute walk. The pond and arboretum are a treat to visit as well. And a short 10 minute walk to the train can have you anywhere in Boston. We recommend the stay to anyone visiting Boston, wanting an authentic Boston experience.

Lisa's pets are very cute and friendly. There is a faint parfum de chat, but nothing so intense you can't forget about it. Lisa's home is single-handedly saving the environment and she provides a list of how you can help ensure that this continues while staying with her. I didn't see her much, but she was super great with communication. I would certainly recommend and stay again myself.

Helen's apartment it's was beautiful (like seriously I am redecorating mine to match as soon as I get home) and as a side note - smelled amazing. Some seriously good candles in there! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The most comfy mattress and softest sheets I have ever seen. The apartment was within walking distance to everything we wanted (we even walked to Harvard in about an hour and the North End in about 45)<br/>Helen was so easy to contact and she was so sweet and friendly. She offered wonderful suggestions and recommendations of things to do and see around Boston.<br/>Boston is an amazing city and I couldn't recommend it, or Helens place, more highly!

We were delighted with the apartment in many ways;  particularly location, facilities, toiletries and cleanliness and how we were able to leave our luggage in the apartment for an extra 2 hours on the last day which was very helpful. There were some great places to eat nearby, plus the Wholefood Store for groceries. It was also on the edge of the beautiful Beacon Hill area and a short walk from both the Common and Freedom Trail. Charles Street with its antique and arty shops was also close by. In fact we could walk to most places we wanted to see

My husband and I had a great stay in the second floor unit. The building is full of original character but also has the conveniences of a modern home. It is located a short walk from the train which will take you right to downtown in 10-15 min. The neighbourhood is also full of character. Although we were not out too late at night we felt very safe walking back from the train. Parking is very limited in the neighbourhood so this is something to keep in mind if you do have car. There is a grocery store a 15 min walk away, which was easy to walk from with a few groceries for breakfasts and snacks. Terry was easy to get a hold of and directions for getting to and into the apartment were very clear. Overall a great alternative to the high priced hotels of downtown.

Alexa spent a few minutes with us to give us a tour and make sure we had everything we needed before she left. The apartment was in a great location!

This was my first time using Airbnb. I'm a big fan of staying in bed & breakfasts, so when I tried to make hotel reservations in Boston for my son's Parent's/Family Weekend and found the prices to be somewhat exorbitant, I thought I would give Airbnb a try.
<br/>
<br/>I truly didn't know what to expect, and chose Kelly's place based on its location, its reviews, which were plentiful, and its price, which was lower than what I would have paid at a hotel (particularly with all the extra fees -- although Kelly did charge extra per night per each of my additional boarders). We stayed two nights, and Kelly and her family couldn't have been lovelier. The house is charming, from the 1880s, and the rooms are located in a cozy attic, and, frankly -- I don't know if it was because I was just away from work, but -- I had the best nights of sleep I've had in a while. The two bedrooms are separated from one another by a hallway with a bathroom/kitchen, but the doors have locks (which we didn't even use), and everything was clean and "fresh," as my grandmother used to say. Free parking was available right on the street, and we walked to a nearby restaurant for a quick dinner one night. (Ask my kids: I'm still raving about the sandwich I had -- the Sicilian from The Real Deal.) I would most definitely stay here again, and now that my son is attending college in Boston, that should be pretty soon.

We arrived late in Boston and Terry had the lights on and the apartment ready for us. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed our 4 night stay. There were 4 of us on this trip and the 2 bedrooms were perfect for us. It was great having the living room to relax and the kitchen to prepare light meals. We used the subway a lot and it was an easy walk back and forth to the station. We felt very safe walking in the neighborhood, even late at night. My brother lives in Cambridge and saw the apartment. He was really impressed and asked for the link to refer it to other visitors.

Everything about this property and experience was wonderful! The historic Roxbury/Dorecestor neighborhood is safe and clean, the house is lovely, and the studio is gorgeous - even better than in the pictures! The art and the view make it extra special. Sparkling clean and still comfortable. Tyree is a perfect host. She greeted us when we arrived and made it clear she was always a phone call or flight of stairs away. Wifi worked great. Lots of yummy snacks and drinks were ours for the taking (we took!).  Shortly after we left the studio, Tyree called me to let me know I'd left some papers that were actually quite important. She made herself available so we could come pick them up (hadn't left Boston yet).  To summarize, this studio, hostess and neighborhood are GREAT! Highly recommend.

The apartment was clean and much more comfortable to stay in than a hotel....a bit strange that it did not have a living room but it worked for the evening.  Extensive notes on what to do in the area and the location could not be beat, nor could the ease of picking up/dropping off keys.  Only warning - the larger bedroom is as soon as you walk in the front door and on ground level overlooking the sidewalk, so staying there on a Saturday night, there was a lot of noise outside on the street and people climbing up and down the building's staircase.  If you're a light sleeper, this may not be the best place for you.

Heather and Mike have a beautiful home in Charlestown. My husband and I stayed with a few friends there for the 2015 Head of the Charles Regatta. We loved the location - Close to food, activities and the airport - and the accommodations were very nice. Thank you Heather and Mike!

Staying at this location was incredibly easy.  I was coming from the West Coast so my flight got in late.  Shawn gave me easy instructions for a lockbox and I went straight up.  The neighborhood had easy access to public transit and there were helpful instructions laid out for WiFi etc in the bedroom.
<br/>
<br/>Shawn was incredibly helpful and friendly and it was a great stay.

Phyllis is beyond sweet! I needed a place for a night to relax in Boston after returning from travel in South Africa, France, and the UK. Her place was perfect and decorated with amazing art. Her hospitality and kindness, truly a blessing. She knew I hadn't eaten and gave me some delicious eggplant lasagna. Literally slept so well and was so comfortable. Of course, her cookies are fantastic, should have grabbed more. I'll be back in Boston and will for sure stay with her again. She also picked me up and dropped to the airport, which was an extra bonus. Hope we can talk more next time too (: about her own travels

I would start by saying that Helena sought to provide anything I needed during my stay, and I am thankful for that.
<br/>
<br/>This was my first AirBnB experience. As a new user, I was unaware that bookings might not include amenities such as use of the kitchen. I understand now that this is a common occurrence.
<br/>
<br/>I saw later, after arriving and discussing with Helena, that indeed the use of the kitchen was not included in the amenities. This was an oversight on my part.
<br/>
<br/>However, I personally believe that it should have been and could have been made clearer in the written description for the booking. It was not apparent to me that I could not cook in the house and I would not have stayed if I knew that. Something along the lines of "No use of the stove, yet you can use the microwave to heat food up" would have been helpful. What did not make much sense to me was that I could use the microwave to cook eggs, which took longer and made more noise than making them all at once on a frying pan, but I could not use the stove even if I cleaned up after myself.
<br/>
<br/>Even though this listing is marked as a private room, it is a shared residence with many other tenants. It seemed like I needed to tip-toe around the house as not to disturb anyone. The description in the listing says you need to be very quiet, and this became very apparent right from my arrival. It made me a little uncomfortable when accompanied with not being able to use the kitchen, because I felt as though all the tenants did not want me there. I do not feel like that is an appropriate environment for a stranger to be in, to be honest.
<br/>
<br/>I also experienced an odd situation during my stay. I entered the kitchen at 6:30AM one day and there were four dead mice on the kitchen floor. I later thought it may have been the cat bringing them in, but at the time I became even more uncomfortable.
<br/>
<br/>On the other hand, I did greatly enjoy the proximity to the Charles River (specifically since I was staying for the Head of the Charles rowing regatta, the Northeastern University Boathouse). The cost was relatively expensive (as a student), but I suppose reasonable when compared to hotels in the area on such short notice. 
<br/>

The master bedroom at Barney's place was charming, clean and spacious. The place was fairly close to the train station and thus accessible. Barney was friendly and helpful. It was a little cold at night as there was no heat but was not a big problem, and I wish there was a key to the room as there were other guests sharing the place.

Rosalia is super friendly and great fun to chat with. Her pet rabbits are really cute too. The room is comfortable and Rosalia has everything you could possibly need during your trip to Boston (snacks, umbrellas, maps, vitamins, toiletries, phone chargers - the list goes on.) The place is easy to find, in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The Grasshopper Cafe is just around the corner. I had a really fun weekend in Boston - thank you Rosalia!

We were so happy when we checked into this little studio which felt more like a boutique hotel than a spare bedroom. Riyo put effort into lots of extra details like prepping a fantastic guide book, which included helpful info about the neighbourhood and the city overall. It's very close to the subway which is really easy to navigate; we even got a free ride there from the airport using the Silver Line bus, which was an added bonus.
<br/>
<br/>We really appreciated all the extra details like the yummy snacks and nice products. Everything was really clean and smelled very fresh. Riyo was super fast at replying to messages. We were sad that we didn't end up meeting to thank her in person and tell her how much we really appreciated her style!
<br/>
<br/>So, thank you Riyo (& family). We had a great time and would certainly return if ever in Boston again!

Wonderful space, and a conscientious and efficient host. All logistics were communicated perfectly, everything went off without a hitch. Listing description was accurate, if not understated. It's a great spot. Would certainly recommend.  Found parking nearby (2 blocks away), and recommend to any persons driving into Boston to download the Boston Parking App. It just plain works.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property in Boston, it is just as beautiful inside as the photos suggest and well located for accessing most of Boston's sights! The heaters kept the house warm despite remarkably low temperatures outside. Our stay of 6 adults was very comfortable thanks to the space available and the presence of 3 bathrooms which made getting up and out very quick each morning. The area is historic, pretty and peaceful. Overall we have a fantastic stay.

Onze gastvrouw en heer waren zéér gastvrij en hadden alles goed verzorgd; zelfs ontbijt-ingrediënten stonden al voor ons klaar.
<br/>De beschikbare ruimtes waren keurig netjes schoon.
<br/>Gastheer en gastvrouw waren zeer vriendelijk. Mevrouw toonde zich zelfs bezorgd, toen het koud werd, of mijn vrouw het niet te koud kreeg en een kledingstuk wilde lenen.
<br/>Allerlei voorlichtingsmateriaal lag klaar.
<br/>De beschrijving klopt met alles wat we aantroffen.
<br/>De omgeving is een luxe villa-wijk.
<br/>Het appartement is aanbevelingswaardig!
<br/>
<br/>The hosts were very hospitable; even breakfast-ingredients were ready for us.
<br/>The available rooms were very clean.
<br/>Hostess and host were very friendly. Ms. even expressed concern, when it was cold, wether my wife did suffer the cold and wanted to borrow a garment.
<br/>All sorts of information-material was to our disposition.
<br/>The description is consistent with what we found.
<br/>The environment is a luxury villa district.
<br/>The apartment is to be commended!

I was really happy with our choice to stay here. Howard's place was in a charming area and convenient to explore many of Boston's historic attractions on foot. There were also a host of restaurants and the best cannoli only 100 metres away. <br/>The available rooms were really pleasantly presented and Howard had a brochure rack with all the local Boston attractions which was very thoughtful.

A wonderful place to stay, very close to the convention center and boston world trade center. The room is confortable with a private bathroom just across the hall. There are 2 single beds that can be put together to make a double bed. The mattresses are confortable but a bit too soft for my friend's injured back.
<br/>George is great host and I couldn't even notice his presence in the apartment. He made sure we had everything to make us feel at home. I definitely recomend staying there!
<br/>Um lugar maravilhoso para ficar, muito perto do centro de convenções e do boston world trade center. O quarto é confortável, com um banheiro privado logo do outro lado do corredor. Tem 2 camas de solteiro que podem ser colocadas juntas para formar uma cama de casal. Os colchões são confortáveis, mas um pouco moles demais para as costas da minha amiga. O George é um ótimo anfitrião e eu nem podia notar sua presença no apartamento. Ele fez de tudo para nos sentirmos em casa. Eu com certeza recomendo a hospedagem!

Chris and Kelly were wonderful hosts!  Communication was always fast and helpful.  Once we arrived, we were given a quick tour and an opportunity to ask questions about the loft and Boston.  Chris and Kelly thoughtfully provided us with fresh fruit and drinks, as well as a few great guidebooks of the neighborhood and Boston.  I didn't think this was possible, but the loft is even more beautiful in person.  The layout is so well-planned and comfortable, and the showers and beds were amazing!  A truly relaxing stay!  The location couldn't be better.  Close to all T lines, Boston Common, and literally seems to be in the center of everything.  Great hosts, great location, great city!

The place was great.  Very good location for our needs.  Some nice little touches with having a Charlie Card there for us to use for T line.  ( we needed to add $$ of course but I think I left a couple bucks on it for the next guy)  Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils and appliances you could need.   All in all very comfortable and convenient location. Only caveat is you can hear the people upstairs walking around.  Didn't bother me in the least and it's not that they were up all night dancing but if someone is a very light sleeper it may be an issue.

Trisha's apartment is in a great location in the North End. You can walk to Haymarket T station in 5 minutes and be at Macys in about 15 minutes on foot. It's one minute from the freedom trail and 5 from the Salem and Provincetown ferries. You don't need a car! <br/>The apartment is on the second floor and yes there are quite a few steps but you only have to get the cases up there once. It is a quaint apartment, the kitchen has everything you need and the sitting area is comfortable to relax after a busy day. Beds are all new mattresses and linen is good. Shower, whilst it isn't super modern, is hot and has good water flow. <br/>We really appreciated how easy Trisha was to deal with and also how previous airbnb-ers had left provisions so there was the basics if you want to cook your own meals. We didn't try the aircon but the heating works and the apartment was warm.<br/>For a family of 4 or two couples and a small child, or 3-5 friends, this is a brilliant, affordable choice for Boston.

My friend and I visited Boston for the first time this past weekend. Hermina has a very beautiful home in Dorchester (South Boston). It was absolutely perfect for our needs. We had a very nice room, nice small amenities, a fridge to store our food and we could also cook. Hermina's home is in the most PERFECT location. It's a VERY short walk to the T-Line. As first-timers, my friend and I navigated our way very easily throughout Boston and even to Salem. There are many local bakeries, restaurants, pubs/bars within walking distance of Hermina's home and all of a great variety. Thank you so much, Hermina, for hosting us! It was an amazing trip of a lifetime and we can't wait to go back to Boston!! -With Love from Arkansas

We had some difficulty with communication in a timely fashion- this was true on both sides.
<br/>The apt is very sparse but clean.
<br/>There was no coffee- even though we were warned about this and came with our own,  it would have been a nice touch to have had coffee and milk stocked.
<br/>The beds were comfortable, even the sofa bed.
<br/>We had problems getting the heat on even though we were told the heat was on in the building, it did not come on during our stay no matter how much we fiddled with the thermostat.
<br/>We used the apartment for a family event so we did not explore the neighborhood.

This Apartment is really great. 
<br/>Everything was like in the description or even better. This apartment was so cozy, clean and inviting that we even stayed one night  in (and we were tourist) and just relaxed.
<br/>The communication with Tyree on everything was easy and so friendly, we felt almost at home. She even sent us something to our next stop at our Road Trip, because we forgot something.
<br/>The neighborhood is the cutest Street you can imagine, we wished we could have been there for Halloween.
<br/>
<br/>OK here is the Rundown:
<br/>-Very clean
<br/>-Very pretty
<br/>-Comfortable bed and couch
<br/>-Cutest neighborhood
<br/>-really, really nice and helpful Hosts.
<br/>
<br/>It doesn't matter if you are a Tourist from another Country or an American on a business Trip you should definitely stay at this Air bnb.

The apartment was as described. Alicia was very responsive during the booking process and even after we arrived. We had a minor issue and maintenance came in and fixed it at the same day. All housing instructions were clear and accurate. The location is close to everything and very accessible by the T, it deserves every penny spent.
<br/>
<br/>The only catch here is that the bathroom has no attachments to keep a soap, a toothbrush or toothpaste by the sink. We had to keep all our belongings outside the bathroom and take them in when we're going in.
<br/>
<br/>One more thing is that the apartment is on the fourth floor. We knew about the stairs before hand, but we did not expect it to be that tough of an exercise.
<br/>
<br/>All in all, it was a great experience and we would do it again.

House was fantastic. Really well equipped, heaps of towels,pillows, blankets, even toiletries! Kitchen really well set up, single cup coffee machine a bit of a pain to use, but there was coffee beans in the fridge. Lots of leaflets of tours etc on kitchen bench so they were easy to see. TV easy to use, plugged our iPad in and watched our own movie when we had a night in. Bit of a walk to metro 10 minutes but not difficult to find or navigate. A few places to eat close by also pharmacy which sold just about everything and a liquor and market next to each other. Tiffany's extra touches like flowers, towels all ready to use was really thoughtful. She was still there fixing things up as we arrived earlier than expected, and gave us a couple of good tips of where to eat, tried both and were good,  Lincoln Tavern andLocos Mexican both on Broadway within walking distance nice to stay somewhere that had been well decorated not just filled with unmatched left overs with no night time noise. Well equipped laundry too" altogether a perfect stopover, would stay again anytime, well done Tiffany and thanks for the experience.

Estuvimos tres días en la casa de Paul y lo pasamos genial ! El lugar es hermoso, esta en una zona histórica de Boston muy linda ! Paul es súper buen anfitrión. Nos recibió con frutas, agua fresca, café y todo lo indispensable para cuando uno llega a un lugar nuevo. Había mil clases de te y si hubiéramos querido cocinar la cocina estaba súper equipada. Todo nuevo y limpio! La única contra es q la calle tiene inclinación y hay q hacer ejercicio para llegar, pero la casa es en planta baja...muy importante si llegas con dos niños en carrito. Hay a 100 metros un súper muy lindo, farmacia donde podes comprar las provisiones q necesites. De volver a Boston, no dudó en volver a la casa de Paul !!!

Absolutely loved the location.  The apartment was great, very old, so you get the feel of being in the North End with all those great old buildings.  And oh, the restaurants! the food!  I'd stay there again, if it weren't for those stairs.  We dropped our stuff off here before we dropped off our rental car, so we had to park illegally and race up the stairs with the suitcases.  Also maybe a bit pricey, but it looks like the price is now lower than what we paid.  Anyway, we loved being there.

The only negative thing would be the limited restaurants and grocery options nearby - we ate in town, so no real problem there.

Tim was a great host. We arrived Boston very early in the morning and Tim arranged to store our luggage until his apartment was available. He then delivered our cases to the apartment. Tim was available quickly if we needed further help. His apartment is well located, just a short walk to Copley Square and many shops including a large mall. The apartment was as described. There is a large lounge area for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The kitchen is small but works well. We walked to the start of the Freedom Trail from the apartment which took us 15 minutes.

Three coworkers and I stayed at Gloria's home for three days. We really appreciated this lovely space, in a beautiful neighborhood, close to downtown but far enough away. Gloria was a wonderful host. We had one small inconvenience and Gloria went out of her way to make it better and to follow up with us to make sure we were ok.   Thank you!

Phyllis was an awesome host! I stayed in the Perfect for 1 room and it was adorable. She is very clean and makes sure everything is perfect for you:) It was my first time visiting Boston and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on where to eat and how to get around. I would most definitely stay here again! Oh and also she's a great cook:)

I stayed at Glenn's place for business purposes since the hotels costs are extremely inflated during the week. I wanted to stay right in Boston and not have to commute in everyday.  If you are looking for the same, I highly recommend Glenn's one bedroom.  It's perfect for business travelers.  Glenn is very organized, sent me a welcome email, contact information and arranged for someone to meet me. Kevin was on-time, very nice and very helpful. The space was perfect, very clean and modern. The bed was super comfortable.  The linens and towels were very soft, fresh and clean and of high quality.  The bathroom and kitchen were spotless.  The internet connection was strong and the table in the living room was perfect to serve as a desk to work.   I plan on contacting Glenn again in the future for business travel to Boston.

We had an amazing stay at this Boston/Charlestown Apartment. It is even nicer than the photos! The apples, coffee, and milk were wonderful welcoming touches. The Charlestown area is a wonderful, quiet, and cozy place to stay but so close to everything a tourist wants to see and do. We found the T easy to navigate and uber was plentiful and inexpensive. We will stay with Gerard and Marie next time and we have already recommended their place to family and friends.

Great apartment just a block from the Freedom Trail. Hanover is a street full of restaurants and flavors of the North End...especially cannolis! Access to all parts of Boston were available. Follow Dror's advice on where to park if you have a car. Be prepared for a fairly big parking fee...but cheaper then the tows, boots and tickets we witnessed in the residence parking areas. BTW...we are big firemen fans. Feel free to support the BFD and buy a great looking t-shirt at the station across the street. If you enjoy dealing with professionalism you will enjoy working with Dror and his team. All you need to do for a good stay is follow his instructions in his initial e-mail. When we come back to Boston we will look forward to trying out another, new Dror offering.

My boyfriend and I had a very comfortable stay at Jose's studio.  His first floor unit was spacious, clean, and contained everything that we needed.  The location is amazing.   Located in the North End, you're surrounded by history and a great amount of Italian restaurants and bakeries.  We especially appreciated convenience  of the 24-hour bakery that was just a couple minutes away by foot.  Great place to get last minute goodies for folks back home.  This airbnb is very close to Boston's other popular attractions.  Walking to the harbor, the aquarium, Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, the downtown area, etc.  was a cinch.  Communication with Jose was great.  I received prompt and helpful emails from him.  Because my boyfriend arrived much earlier than the check-in time, Jose was able to make arrangements without any difficulty.  When I visit Boston again, I would definitely want to stay here.

Staying with Hillary was a good choice for us. Loved JP. Hillary and her daughter were friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. We adjusted to the tight space in the tiny bed room. Having the bathroom on the other floor was a surprise. Had to negotiate a steep flight of stairs, but managed. Good connections to public transportation worked well for us! - Sue

Tyree's apartment is located in a quiet, older neighborhood a short distance from Downtown Boston. ($10 Uber ride to anywhere downtown).   There isn't a lot of stores, restaurants, etc near the apartment, so you will need to drive to these locations.  If  you rent a car, Tyree will cone off a parking space for you in front of the house.  Parking is limited, so it's great that she will do this for you. If you plan to go outside of town (Plymouth, Salem, Cape Cod) you will need a car.  But, if you plan on staying in Boston the whole time, I would suggest that you use Uber and save money. 
<br/>
<br/>The house itself is 200 years old which is unique, but the studio apartment is very modern with hardwood floors, recent paint, kitchen sink, small fridge,  cable TV and Wi-Fi.  
<br/>
<br/>Tyree and her husband were very welcoming.  They are very nice people and genuinely seemed concerned about making sure that we had everything we needed.  Tyree provided a cell phone for her and her husband, and told us that we could contact them anytime (they live downstairs on a separate floor).  
<br/>
<br/>The apartment has it's own entrance and is very nice.  The place was extremely clean and we had no issues whatsoever.  There is also a great view of the city!  However, I would warn the elderly about the stairs.  Since it's an old house, the stairs are narrow and steep and there is a lot of them! So, if you have knee problems or any issues with climbing stairs, this may be of concern to you. 
<br/>
<br/>Overall, this was a great place to stay.  We have no doubt that if we ever return to Boston, we will stay in Tyree's apartment again!  
<br/>
<br/>Thanks Tyree!

This studio is in the perfect area for those wanting to explore Boston. It is a short walk to attractions such as Newbury Street (a great place to shop), Copley Square, the Boston Public Library, Boston Commons, and various restaurants. It also is within walking distance to public transportation (Copley Stop, Green Line) so you can easily get around the city.
<br/>
<br/>The studio is located in a brownstone, giving you the full Boston feel while you are staying there. Plus, the price for the location is great! 
<br/>
<br/>M is very attentive to your needs, and responds back quickly. For all the reasons mentioned, I highly recommend this place, and would definitely stay there again. :)

Five stars for Margaret!  Everything was perfect, which started with her cheery welcome at the house with a bottle of wine and my favorite micro-brew.
<br/>There were four of us business professionals there for a week.  We really appreciated the private parking and quiet location.  The kitchen was well equipped, very clean and the beds were comfortable.
<br/>It was great to be able to take the short walk to Centre Street, where there were many quality restaurants.

Phyllis is a beautiful spirit! She is very welcoming and warm and incredibly generous! Her omelette was delicious! I loved every bite! Her cookies looked wonderful but unfortunately I can't eat sweets. They looked delicious though!

Staying at this place was an absolute dream come true! We got in a little late, so it was a pretty dark and we couldn't exactly find the place. Called Jose and within the first 3 rings he picked up and gave clear directions. The apartment is absolutely amazing. My girlfriend and I had been staying in hotels for the week prior and so when we walked into Jose's place it felt like we walked into our own home. The place was very clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time exploring the "north end" and eating as much Italian food as possible, even grabbing a couple deli sandwiches for the road. 10/10 I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy place to spend with a loved one.

Todd's place was definitely a luxury Air BnB!  The pictures are 100% accurate.  High quality bedding and essentials, as well as plenty of closet space, were all included in this reservation.  Check-in was very accommodating, and the location is ideal for travel to the Harvard Business School campus and Harvard Square.  We did share the restroom facilities, but found no issue with this as we never saw the other guest/resident.  This was a great place, and we would definitely book again.  Thanks, Todd!

Dror and Cara were great to work with, easy to check in and communicate with. The apartment itself was perfectly located in the Northend of Boston, close to everything we wanted to go to and easy to find. The apartment itself was great for 4 guests with a one night stay. It was very clean and comfortable. I think staying at this apartment long term with more than 2 people would be difficult because there is only a small common area in the kitchen. But it was everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice apartment in a great location! Glenn met me promptly to give me the key and showed me how everything works in the unit, which was helpful. I'm familiar with Boston, but for tourists, he thoughtfully provides a map with restaurants, grocery stores, etc. and also offered recommendations if needed. Well-stocked kitchen suitable for real cooking. Small but telling detail -- the nicest towels I've encountered in an Airbnb. I've already re-booked for my next Boston trip -- highly recommended!

This was our first time using Airbnb so we were not setting any unrealistic expectations. However we also were not expecting to be completely mistreated by the host. The apartment was perfect nothing to complain about there and the location was central and perfect close to day and night life, but the owner was very rude to us after we left the apartment. First she was late to let us in. We waited for about 10 minutes in the front door. She seemed very welcoming once we were inside giving us the run down of the neighborhood. On our last day we had to leave to go to the airport. Check out was at 11 so it was perfect. However at 11 the host said she would be there in 30 minutes. Since we needed to catch a flight she told us to put the key somewhere. As we were ready to leave is when she started giving us things to do. Strip the bed and put all the sheets in the hamper, in addition to the towels. In a hurry we did all that she asked and left. One hour later at the airport is when we started being bombarded with text messages. She was complaining that we did not leave the Charlie pass, that we did not properly strip the bed, that the garbage was left, and that food was left in the kitchen sink. She had the audacity to charge us $75 for all these "extra things she would have to do". I am beyond disappointed with how she treated us. The Charlie card only had $2.60 on it, which is equivalent to only one subway ride, the trash shoot was not mentioned, all the dishes were cleaned and put away, and everything was kept intact. Her apartment was treated perfectly and she did not appreciate that from us. Instead she tried every way to rob us of our money and we do not recommend this host to anyone. If she were on time to check out she could have told us any outstanding chores to do and we would have done them gladly, but she did not make that possible.

He also had lots of great advice on what to see, where to eat, et cetera. Oh, and there is an awesome massage chair in the room which the best thing in the world after a day of walking around town and if you are visiting Boston, believe me, you will be doing lots of walking!

Yvonne and Bob were wonderful hosts! I had such a nice stay in their big, beautiful house. Yvonne was very attentive to my needs and schedule when I came to Boston for a conference. The house is really big and so is the yard if you have kids(!) Bob was great to let me store my bike in his basement and the room upstairs was large and spacious with tv and a nice large comfortable bed. In the morning they made me coffee and a nice breakfast and even invited me to dinner in the evenings(!) The free on street parking is a MAJOR selling point too if you're coming to Boston. Except for Sundays it is very difficult to find free and even available afternoon parking closer to downtown so it was great to be able to keep my car parked on the street in their residential neighborhood for free.

DE verhuurder (moeder van Yossi) Heeft ons onze ruimte getoond.  We beschikten over twee kamers, een badkamer en een tussenruimte waar we cornflakes en warme drank konden nemen.  Buiten het welkom is er geen enkel ander contact geweest. Jammer.  Het was geweldig dat we over een eigen gedeelte van het huis konden beschikken.  Nochthans lagen er in die kamers allerlei spullen van de bewoners.  We mochten een kast gebruiken maar daar hingen nog kleren van de bewoners in.  Dit vonden we een beetje raar.  De bedden waren heel goed en de kamer was groot.
<br/>Het meest jammer vonden we de badkamer.  Die was helemaal niet proper.  Overal lagen haren van de bewoners.  Zeer jammer.
<br/>Misschien is het toch beter van dan maar 1 kamer ter beschikking te stellen voor verhuurders maar die dan ook volledig ten dienste stellen voor de verhuurders.  In beide kamers lagen heel wat spullen van de eigenaars.

The only good thing about this apartment is its location - very very central. I was disappointed 6 weeks before we arrived when having booked a parking space through Jose he then told me it was not available any longer and did nothing to help me figure out an alternative - I felt left in the lurch. The apartment is dark and certainly the walls are paper thin as a previous reviewer stated - we had to listen to our neighbours' lovemaking for hours in the night. The kitchen was not equipped at all to be able to cook. The apartment needs some love and attention. It was clear that this is simply a  money making venture. Once it has been renovated it would be ideal but until then I would not recommend this apartment. Shame as we have had very good experiences until now.

Natasha's place was amazing! Just how it looked in the pictures. Natasha was great to work with and answered all our questions being that it was our first time in Boston. Her home was in a great neighborhood and was perfect for getting around the city with no car. We hope to return and will stay here again no need to look further this is the place for us to return again and again!!!

Notre arrivée s'est passée avec beaucoup de facilités .
<br/>Après ces heures de voyage nous nous sommes sentis secure et confortables.
<br/>Tout était prêt, l'appartement était parfait et chauffé. Tout à fait adapté à nos besoins.
<br/>Juste un peu trop bruyant pour nous.
<br/>Nous avons apprécié le service de Lance. Il a été à notre écoute.

Entrance instructions were easy to follow. Hermina was out of town so we did not meet her. She did send an email asking if we had arrived. The second floor bedroom was large and spacious. Bed was very comfortable.  Two chairs and a mirror in the room. Not easy sharing one shower with five rental units. Kitchen was welcoming. Very close to the T station on the red line which goes directly to Cambridge. No problem finding parking on her street.

Really wonderful experience in Boston. The house is cozy and well organized. What's amazing is the old neighborhood. The oldest church in Boston is right beside the house. And the host Jose is really nice and responded to questions quickly and patiently.

We were able to get into the place with no problems.  It was a nice place on the inside with plenty of room, amenities, and supplies.  However, we were very unhappy with the neighborhood.  While it is close in proximity to the center of the city as described in the listing, it is also in a very high crime area.  All locals whom we spoke with confirmed this location was in a dangerous area, and we found many articles and crime reports for this area.  We voiced our concerns to the host, as well as to Airbnb, and received no help on the matter.  It was not our intent to offend anyone, but police reports do not often lie.  We will definitely find a different location to rent when returning to Boston with safety as the main concern.

Besides very thorough introductory emails and precise directions to the rental, Mark and Susan provided a stocked mini-fridge and even came over with muffins and donuts the next morning. The location is off the beaten track and we received a nice printed history of Faith Hill and its origins. The fact that we were able to stay in our own private bungalow for the cost of a single room elsewhere was certainly a deciding factor.
<br/>   All in all, our stay, though brief, was a true blessing in all respects!
<br/>The overall experience was definitely a 10-out-of-10!

Jonathan's pad was absolutely perfect. It was very clean, organized and offered exactly what we needed for our weekend stay in Boston. The location is accessible via a short walk to the orange line T or by Uber cab. The apartment itself was well-designed and made wonderful use of the small (but cozy) space. A great studio and a great host.

Terry was very helpful and answered any questions I emailed about the apartment.  He was also very helpful when we had a couple of queries and was straight over to help.  The apartment is lovely, over two floors at the top of the building, up two flights of stairs.  Its an old building beautifully restored, the apartment is roomy, well kitted out and well decorated.  Terry has left plenty of info about the area and what to visit in Boston.  The area is a little shabby especially near the train station, but safe for all that. The T rail system is only 5 minutes walk away and works like a dream.  Longest wait was 7 minutes for the train that takes you Downtown in 12 mins.  They have a 7 day pass for $19 - well worth the money.  Other than that we used Uber and that was very reliable.  Definitely go to the top of the Prudential for great views, and take a boat trip, the sea views are great.  Many thanks Terry for a great experience.

Hospitality: Helen was so pleasant welcoming us into town. She was so friendly I felt like we were long lost family members. She gave us a nice orientation and explained how to get down to the local restaurants. The kitchen was equipped with breakfast options and absolutely delicious home made granola. I could have eaten that for every meal!
<br/>Amenities: The place is exactly as it is represented in the pictures online. Good use of small spaces. Full working kitchen and very clean bathroom. Shower gets hot quickly.
<br/>Neighborhood: We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood and loved to look at the old houses and landscaping.

We had an amazing time at Kelly's place in Boston. It is exactly as pictured and made for the perfect landing spot for our 6 day adventure.  It's a cozy, clean, and convenient corner of the city. The Back Bay location can't be beat - it's steps from shopping and  great food choices plus only a few blocks from the T (subway) if you want to get somewhere further away in Boston. Beacon Hill is also just around the corner. Being so close to the park and Boston Common was great for leisurely walks in the morning. I felt completely safe walking by myself at night before my husband arrived. Kelly called and discussed our stay the week prior which helped me navigate the Airbnb process. She had great suggestions for food, sites and tips for navigating the  city. I am so glad we chose this route vs paying $$$ for a hotel. I would love to stay here again!

Infelizmente fIquei apenas uma noite na casa.

This was my first time staying at an AirBnB listed place. I must say I was very impressed with this stay. Now, I could go on about how great it is, but Todd clearly has other great reviews that I must say are a good reflection of what I would say too. With that being said I rank the location 5 stars for ease, and state once more that this place had standards above my expectations. This place is definitely worth coming back.

Overall: met our needs and was a comfortable and clean stay; I didn't feel it was the best value but my BF thought it was great. Read below for details and decide for yourself:)<br/>Best parts: bed was great (firm-ish, king size in room 2B); room was clean and comfortable overall; did not meet host but she was communicative and helped with parking. Parking was readily available, especially by Boston standards. (Just have to check signs for alternating street cleaning in the morning)<br/>Other notes:<br/>House is as-described as far as neighborhood goes.<br/>bathroom was clean. One of our towels smelled slightly musty. <br/>Walls were thin so you can hear others on that level out in the hallway<br/>Pictures make it look more cosy and homey than it felt in person. In person it felt a little 'cold' - that's just me though. There are little signs all over the house letting you know things which is helpful. There was also one in bedroom to ask that you not move thermostat above 68 degrees because 'heat is expensive.' - not the most welcoming <br/>We got there late so it was a little 'shady' walking up to the place. No lights on out front and no one to greet us. So felt like anyone could have walked in. Not a serious concern but not ideal

We had a lovely stay in Jose's apartment in the North End. The apartment was just what we needed- clean with all conveniences and a comfy bed and relaxing shower. <br/>The apartment is in a great location surrounded by numerous restaurants and cafés (we'd recommend Theo's just down Salem Street for breakfast) and almost opposite the Old North Church and the start of the Freedom Trail. We were able to walk almost everywhere within 30 minutes, though the nearest T stop was no more than 10 minutes away as well. It was around 15 minutes by car from the airport and an über cost $20.<br/>Jose was very easy to get hold of before our trip, and sent very well timed messages about check in. We had no problems during our trip that we needed to bring to his attention.

Das Studio ist genauso wie es auf den Bildern aussieht. Sehr gemütlich und modern eingerichtet. Jonathan hat jede Ecke des Raums genutzt und so ein sehr praktisches Studio auf engstem Raum geschaffen. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. 
<br/>Jonathan ist außerdem ein super Gastgeber. Wir haben ihn zwar nicht persönlich getroffen, er war aber jederzeit per E-Mail zu erreichen und hat uns all unsere Fragen beantwortet. Er hat sich auch während unseres Aufenthalts gemeldet, um zu fragen, ob alles in Ordung ist. Im Studio hat er kleine Aufmerksamkeiten, wie eine gefüllte Wasserkaraffe, Müsliriegel und einen Bosten-Reiseführer bereitgelegt. Auch das hat dazu beigetragen, dass wir uns sehr willkommen gefühlt haben. Toll ist, dass man seine eigene Eingangstür hat und samit völlig unabhängig ist. Wenn an einen Kritikpunkt sucht, dann könnte man die Hellhörigkeit des Hauses anmerken. Uns hat es aber nicht gestört, da die Nachbarschaft nicht laut ist.
<br/>Zusammenfassend: ein tolles Studio für einen Kurztrip nach Boston. Gutes Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis für Boston

We had a great stay here with Lisa and John and can highly recommend this listing. We were made to feel very welcome and the place felt just like home. It's a short walk to the bars and restaurants of Jamaica Plain and close to the train which takes you downtown in 15 minutes or so. The street itself is quiet and green. It's all in all a wonderful place to stay, and we felt very fortunate to meet these great hosts and explore this little corner of Boston. JP itself has so much to offer! Can recommend JP Seafood Cafe, Fomu, Canto6 Bakery and Grassfed Burgers.

Due to a miscommunication, Polly was unaware we were coming in so room was not ready when we arrived. Luckily Polly was around so was able to get it ready while we enjoyed dinner nearby. Room is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. Loved that our dog was allowed to join us and the great lengths Polly goes thru to make sure guests are satisfied (providing bathroom toiletries, baked goods, etc). I woke up with one of the worst stomach bugs I've ever encountered and Polly thoughtfully gave me ginger ale and toast. 10 am checkout does seem a little earlier than most places, though understandable since they run a business downstairs. Location is great, would definitely recommend!

I stayed at Jose's apartment for 4 days in October while visiting Boston. The apartment was in an amazing location in the North End of Boston. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. There were wonderful Italian restaurants all around the apartment. It was plenty of space for two people. Jose was a fantastic host. He gave us clear instructions on how to find the apartment and the key. He responded to requests promptly and handled everything for us on our vacation. I would recommend this listing to anyone who is looking to visit Boston!

Katarzyna was responsive to my inquiry about staying, and then communicated well leading up to my stay so that checking in was a breeze, including messaging me when the previous guests checked out early so I could drop my bag off early! The apartment is very close to the Andrews stop on the T, and people I passed on the street were friendly and warm.  Also, delicious Polish food nearby.

A terrific place and location! Patrick's home was wonderfully convenient for our stay in Boston.  The free parking was great for leaving our car we drove in with, and the close-by public transit saved us from having to drive in the city traffic. We were able to easily visit both Cambridge and Fenway equally easily, and there's fun nightlife walking distance away - check out all the Korean food just a 15 minute walk away in Allston! The home is clean and well-furnished, and we got great use out of both the kitchen (there's a grocery store close by) and the washer/dryer.  We especially, though, loved the gas fireplace on the couple of chilly nights we had. Very cozy. Patrick was a great host, and we will gladly stay again if we ever need to in Boston.

What a terrific surprise this stay was! In town for a convention at the Hynes, we chose to spend the night at this beautiful unit rather than the hotels in the area.

We will definitely repeat this the next time we need a place to stay.

Susan's communication was awesome from the beginning until the end!  She provides nice written instructions about the condo and the surrounding area.  The condo was a beautiful space to call home while we were visiting Boston.  The rooftop deck was spectacular, even during the cool fall evenings.  Susan had the refrigerator and cupboards stocked with basic items like water, milk, oj, eggs, cream, cinnamon rolls, english muffins, butter, etc... which was much appreciated since we had a late arrival.  The subway is about 100 yds away, which was so convenient to travel to anywhere  in Boston in a matter of minutes, without having to deal with traffic or parking.  Northeastern University is just around the corner, so plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and grocery close by.  We felt safe walking around at all hours of the day and evening.

Great value for the money! This location has exceeding my expectations. 
<br/>
<br/>1. Photos don't do justice to the place. It's very cozy and homely. 
<br/>
<br/>2. The location is very convenient. It's a five minute walk to the airport (so you really don't have to hire a cab to get to the house if you're coming by plane). You can take the Silver Line bus from the airport, which takes you to South Station, with a stop at the Convention Center. The ride to the city is free ! Those buses take off every 6-10 minutes or so. 
<br/>
<br/>3. Despite being close to the airport, the house is very calm, and I didn't have any trouble sleeping -- and I'm *VERY* sensitive to noise, so it means that the place is indeed very calm. 
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>4. Responsive but not overbearing host. A pleasure dealing with.

We had a wonderful time at Terry's place. We got there by car and there was plenty of parking space in the street near by. The apartment was really neat and spacious. The only problem was the wifi. The one Terry recommand to use is not working properly. So we asked the one renting the apartment below and they gave us a wifi that was working well. We were 4 males and both the bed and sofa bed were really comfy. Moreover, you have everything you need to cook! We didnt get to meet Terry unfortunatly. (Exept reallt briefly while we were making a bit too much noise). I really recommand this place!

This was my first booking.  The apartment was beautiful, large and in a terrific location.  Close to the T, the Pru outside your window, and around the corner from my daughter!  It was very clean.  There was parking in the building which was a plus. The only issues were we had to check in later than agreed upon and the cable and wifi didn't work the first night.  Varouj had it fixed by the next morning.  I would definitely stay there again.

Riyo's place is absolutely incredible!! My friend and I stayed there for two days and it was the most relaxing and comfortable experience. The studio was super clean, comfy and she really went out of her way to make sure we had everything we need. She included a lot of fun ideas and recommendations for us and was very attentive if we had any questions. She even offered to mail me back my necklace that I forgot! We highly recommend staying here while in Boston. We know we will if we come back.

An amazing 5-star newly remodeled condominium. Feels significantly nicer than your typical luxury hotel. Every detail is accounted for. There are even LINDT chocolates on the pillow's upon your arrival! Honestly, we did not want to leave. Parking spot and easy drive into Boston. We also used Uber. We haven't stopped raving about the accommodations and will definitely be back!

Communicating with Trisha before and during our visit made it easy to ask questions and be fully prepared for our trip. The apartment is exactly as described. We felt comfortable and secure as soon as we opened the door. Everything you would need for your stay including a hair dryer and cable!

<br/>Situated in the best part of Boston to see the sights. Right by the historical Freedom Trail and surrounded by amazing restaurants, bakeries and places to eat and drink. We would highly recommend the North Street Grill and mexican just round the corner!

We had a fabulous week in the North End. The location of the apartment was perfect for us. We felt as though we were in the heart of Boston, with many of its attractions within easy walking distance. The apartment itself. Was light and airy, full of North End character. Although not luxurious, we enjoyed spending time there. 
<br/>Nice apartment , perfect location, we would definitely rebook on our next trip to Boston.

Terry's place was great!  it was easy to find, we took Uber from the airport, approx 15-20 min drive, and around $75, but we were 6 adults plus luggage.  The neighborhood was quiet and nice, we had no issues.  Terry's place had everything you would need, 3 good size bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room and kitchen, as described.  We were 3 couples travelling together.  Terry was easily reached when we needed him or to ask a question, but never actually came to the unit.
<br/>I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, it made for a great trip to Boston!

The room was exactly as shown.  Very nice and a super comfortable bed.  It was great having access to a full kitchen (the one on the main floor is really only for guests) as we had fresh fruit, yogurt, and pancakes each morning that we made.  Barney and Mary were always available for help (either in person or by phone or text) and having a printer was very handy.  About a 5-8 minute walk to the Red Line (subway) with very easy access to downtown.  Thanks for a great stay !!

There are plenty of restaurants and grocery shops for all the tastes. There is also washer and dryer in the basement.

We had a great time in the Admiral Wiley House!  My brother and his wife, my sister and her husband and my wife and I came to Boston to celebrate my 60th birthday.  We loved the house! It's in nice neighborhood, within walking distance of the North End.  The Warren Tavern - excellent food and write-ups on TripAdvisor - is a 5 minute walk.  Nice coffee shop 3 minutes further.  It's a 10-12 minute walk from the Community College T station - far better than trying to get around Boston in a car.  Kitchen comes with all the necessary equipment and is updated.  Whole foods grocery store is a 10 minute walk.  Really a nice setup.  The house is set up to be comfortable year round.  The pictures are accurate.  The air conditioners in the picture were stored in the basement for our October stay.  The windows are updated double pane and can be opened for wonderful fresh air.  When they are closed it is a very quiet house.  Strongly recommend this house!!!

The place is really nice! It is exactly as described and looks and feels really nice and stylish, the kitchen is fully stocked, and everything just works. You will often wake up to sunshine coming in from the windows every morning, you will see floating particles of sunlight in the air that make you think you're still dreaming, and anything you do during that time makes you feel like you're in an indie folk song video on a vintage filter (it's really a good thing!).  It's really quiet and in a really nice area in Boston, it is a minute away from several bus stops and you can walk to the best restaurants in town, and everybody in the building and in the neighborhood is really friendly, would definitely like to stay there again.

My family's stay at "La Gemma" was excellent. The apartment was very clean, very well furnished and felt very homely, located in a quiet court in the North End of Boston. Gina was an extremely gracious host, was very friendly, quick to respond and very helpful when it came to the reservation, and has organized several really thoughtful little extras, including information on all the appliances and functionalities in the apartment, maps and guidebooks, recommendations for places to eat...
<br/>I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who needs a home away from home in a central location in Boston. So far this has been the best Airbnb I've rented!

Lovely safe neighbourhood, listing was as described, if slightly smaller than expected. It was clean, quiet and equipped with everything we needed. Maria Elena was an excellent host, and took the time to show us a few maps of the area and suggest some restaurants.  Communicating with her was very easy once in the apartment, leaving notes checking that everything was ok via a whiteboard. Maria Elena was also very accommodating in allowing us to leave our bags for the day on check out day, since we didn't fly until the evening. Overall good value and very easy to get into the city on the subway. Wifi connection was ok but not great (struggled to load video).

Jil's beautiful house isn't an Airbnb as much as it is a welcoming home worth going out of one's way to visit. From the moment you walk in the front door, the decades of character and the stories behind each piece of vintage furniture and classic design choice are readily apparent. Classic, Grand and Cozy are the words that come to mind.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment in question is a self-enclosed wing of the house, with it's own private side entrance, kitchenette  bathroom and use of washing machine. Jil and her family live on the other side of the house, so you have as much privacy as you would want, although hanging out with them is much more of a good time.
<br/>
<br/>It's in the hipster Jamaica Plains neighborhood not far from downtown so you have peace, quiet and lots of great eating along with accessibility to the hustle and bustle. 
<br/>
<br/>And free street parking! (The only street in the neighborhood, and what seems like all of Boston that offers it)
<br/>
<br/>Jil and her family are the most welcoming hosts I've ever had and I recommend this place to anyone looking not just for a place to sleep at night, but a home visit, and even friends

The place was very easy to get to via the train and the host provided thorough instructions for finding our room itself in their absence and remained very communicative over messaging before, during, and just after our stay (while we stored our luggage at the house to go exploring Boston after checking out but before our departing flight). 
<br/>
<br/>This house is beautiful and old. Both Mary and Barney were sweet and informative. The coffee was excellent and the home was clean and relatively quiet aside from the few hours that Mary was humoring trick-or-treaters on the front porch :)

The apartment was exactly as depicted in the photographs; clean, comfortable and beautiful.  Jason, Larry and Valerie were exceptional hosts and very attentive to our needs.  I would highly suggest paying  the fee for private parking behind the apartment building as this was a busy area of S. Boston and street parking was not available.  If you are a light sleeper you should know the bedrooms face the street and some bars/restaurants in the area were quite loud.  We received an unexpected visit at midnight from the downstairs guests who thought they had rented our apartment for the weekend.  They entered our locked apartment with their key and were about to start unpacking their belongings when they noticed we were in there.  We soon realized all 3 apartments in the building were keyed the same which is not ideal if you bring valuables, or are concerned for your safety and privacy.

Their friendly response made us feel so much better, just what you need in an emergency.

This was our first Airbnb experience, and it set a very high benchmark. Helen and Stuart were very accommodating, responsive and kind.
<br/>
<br/>The apartment was exactly as described in the listing and photos, and was a very warm, welcoming and clean space. The location is a quick five-minute walk to the Forest Hills stop on the Orange Line, which takes less than 20 minutes to get downtown. The neighborhood was beautiful, and felt safe at all times. The breakfasts every morning were a wonderful addition, as were the little things in the fridge and freezer.
<br/>
<br/>The stairs up to the apartment were a little tight and winding; while we didn't have too much of a problem, it might prove difficult to climb for others.
<br/>
<br/>We enjoyed our stay in Jamaica Plain, and felt very safe, welcomed and respected by Helen and Stuart. We absolutely would recommend these hosts to anyone traveling to Boston!

The listing was pretty much as described and was in an excellent location in the North End part of Boston, which is close to lots of lovely places to eat and see nearby.  I never met the host, but he was very quick to respond and give details of the lockbox which worked out well.   I agree with some previous reviews that you can hear some neighbours, but again, this isn't too bad and if you're a light sleeper, take some ear plugs. There wasn't much kitchen equipment etc, but that was not a problem as we were out alot anyway. We loved staying in Boston and would come back to this place like a shot!

I would like to use my language to express how excellent this house is! Hope more and more Chinese people can get this experience!我们入住了两晚Jeffery的家，房东Jeff是个非常负责人的人，非常抱歉之前一直没能及时回复你的邮件，直到最后时间才回复他，但他还是精心为我们准备了屋子。六个人入住唯一的不便就是厕所只有一间，但合理安排洗澡时间还是没问题的。房间都很干净，很喜欢主人的装饰，非常温馨，一看就是很会生活的主人。厨房里各种工具应有尽有，大胆去超售买材料准备丰盛的晚餐吧，Jeff的冰箱里也有很多食材，包括为我们准备了一个烤蛋糕，还有红酒，可惜我们没机会品尝了。最关键的是这块住宅区非常安全，都是local的美国人居住的，早上起来附近逛了一圈，非常漂亮！波士顿酒店太贵，所以强烈推荐自驾的朋友能体验这样的屋子！一定不会让你失望的！

Host (Shawn):   Although a bit short in communications during confirmation process, in person he was rather pleasant and sociable.<br/>Room/bathroom:   Quite adequate in setup.  The comforter felt worn out in the underside (where you feet meet the comforter underneath).  Floors in bathroom and room could use some cleaning (hair of different length and curliness abundant, 3-4 bars of used soap from previous guests laying around in the bathroom reserved for Airbnb guests).<br/>Location:   Much farther than other neighborhoods but the Orange Line gets you "home" faster than other T lines (metro).  The apt bldg is between two T Stations (Jackson Sq to the North and Stony Brook to the south).  Couple day-time walks to the Jackson Sq station made me feel guarded about the environment.  I ended up taking long uber rides after dusk instead.  One uber driver warned me about "a recent stabbing" outside the housing project Bromley Park (Centre St & Chestnut), which I walked by in order to reach the Jackson Sq T Station.   Maybe, walking to the T station would've made me feel less guarded.  Or I could've googled "crime maps Boston" before booking.  But, there is always uber!<br/>Bldg:   Room is on the 3d floor (no elevator).  Pack accordingly.<br/>Keys:   Apparently, the lock box containing the entry keys jammed easily.  Upon arrival, I couldn't open the box (so couldn't other guests, Shawn said).  Fortunately, Shawn was home for that night before leaving town.  Otherwise, I would've been homeless.<br/>Neighborhood:  Not much to explore.  Beyond the immediate neighborhood, students from nearby colleges make it more lively and safer.

Just as the title says: Beautiful Waterfront Location - and when I stayed Boston put on some nice weather so I could appreciate it. The place was great, as in the pictures - very nice bathroom, well appointed and George goes the extra mile providing amenities. The location was excellent for me as I had a conference near by - but it is also a 15 minute walk from down town. 
<br/>There is a concierge and a gym, so you kind of feel like you are in a hotel. George was communicative and accommodating, I would highly recommend it.

Jonathan has gone to every effort to make his small but cozy studio perfect for his guests. Just when I thought, "Oh it would be nice to have a hook here" - there was. Or, "I wish I had a small place for my water bottle by the bed", its a perfectly sized mini bedside table. I'm a petite person so the space worked, but it might be a bit tight for larger guests - especially if there are two of you (the bathroom is tiny). But don't get me wrong, this was the PERFECT arrangement for me for me 2 night trip to Boston - a comfy bed, hot water pot for my coffee, small refrig for restaurant leftovers, milk and cereal supplied if you need a small snack, and shampoo and body wash supplied so you don't have to travel with your own. Also, Jonathan was super easy to work with and also checked in with me to make sure everything was going well - much appreciated.

This was our 1st experience with Airbnb and what an excellent one at that.  Our hosts Jacklyn and Joel were very accommodating and available for anything we needed.  The apartment was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable.  It was stocked with all room amenities and supplies.  We really felt like we were at home, it was just that comfortable plus extra touches like a bottle of wine and since we were there for Halloween, a cauldron of candy.  The neighborhood is quaint, family oriented and in walking distance to many restaurants and the T.  We didn't have to drive very much however parking was not an issue at the apartment as there is a driveway.  With having family in Boston, we look forward to returning soon and hope that we'll be able to stay again.

What an amazing experience - my best so far on Airbnb!! Mark and Cindy were the perfect hosts leaving tips on where to eat and drink, the apartment was adequately stocked with coffee and all the odds and ends a weekend traveler forgets... Like Q-tips!  Beautiful apartment, perfect location.. I *will* be coming to stay again as long as they'll have me - lol.  I slept in the bedroom - the bed was soooo comfy, honestly more comfortable than my own!  My friend slept on the pullout and she was super comfortable as well - it has a memory foam mattress.  Loved the personal touches :)

We had a great stay for two nights. The apartment was clean and cosy, and the location is ideal for exploring the city. Our host was easy to reach, and let us store our bags in the apartment before our official check-in time (and again after our check-out time), which really helped us.  Thanks for the great accomodations, Jose!

Check-in and checking out were super easy. The listing was exactly as described and the best part was the convenient location across the T station! We only wish that the internet wasn't as spotty and that there was an iron available, but other than that we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Pros: 
<br/>-- Great location 
<br/>-- Very elegant little apartment
<br/>-- Tim was responsive and flexible 
<br/>
<br/>Cons: 
<br/>-- Noise:  the bedroom was in the back.  I could hear the upstairs neighbor a little.  There was construction noise from next door that woke me in the morning.  It also made spending time in the living room very challenging.  
<br/>-- Bed:  I've had worse but the bed was a little springy.

Terry's home was a perfect fit for my party during our stay in Boston.  The group consisted of myself, my wife, a colleague, my daughter (toddler) and  my mother-in-law and we all had sufficient space and privacy. With relatively easy access to the Train and a short commute in town we really got to get a feel for the Boston area.  My wife and I are still talking about how comfortable the beds were.  I Would definitely recommend  to others.

The neighborhood is amazing. Very quaint. The property is as described, if not better.  
<br/>Xerxes was so incredibly responsive to every single question I had.  When I was fussing with the heat he assured me that it was ok to clear the programming.  When I left an important medication at home and needed to fedex it, he gave me an alternate box address to send it to if I encountered any problems.  Our flight wasn't leaving until late in the afternoon and he allowed us to leave our stuff there while we spent our last few hours exploring Boston (which was a lot later than traditional hotel checkout times).
<br/>
<br/>I'll be returning to the area in a few months and will be checking with Xerxes on availability before booking anywhere else.  Thank you again for everything!

This place was PERFECT! We even had a third unexpected guest at the last minute and they accommodated our every need!  Location is snuggled into the heart of the north end, where EVERYTHING is such a close, scenic walk. There is a little mart within a 2 minute walk of the apartment if you want grocery or toiletry items etc., and Hanover (the main strip) is literally less than a block away--so all the restaurants and coffee shops are super close. There is even a little "mercato" where locals have salamis and cheeses that is a must-try right down the street. We came to city to visit a couple nights, planning only to 'sleep' at our Airbnb location, but it's a charming apartment if you decide to take a load off after a day of exploring--as we did, one of the nights after dinner! We will be back! If not to this specific apartment, than at least one also hosted by Jose and Jason--everything was so great and well thought out!!!

I was quite pleased with my first Airbnb experience. Everything was as shown in the listing (except no ironing board). The bed was super comfortable and I slept better than I do at home. Love the location. The North End is a great area to stay in and this particular building is set back from the road, down an alley, so it is very quiet. Would be a great place for one or two people and I would stay there again.

My boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights. It was really convenient if what you need is a place to sleep and a plan to be out in Boston the rest of the time. It's about a 4 minute walk from the T and takes about 18 minutes to be in downtown Boston. If driving there's free parking around the area so would be convenient. Riyo was very friendly-- would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The appartment is family-friendly (we spent three days with a one year old baby), very clean and for us it was spacious enough. It was also equipped with everything we needed including kitchen equipment. Ella and Will were great hosts and there was also information in the appartment about what to do in Boston and surroundings. The neighbourhood is nice and there are a lot of restaurants and other shopping / grocery facilities in walking distance. We did not try the public transportation system but a station should also be in walking distance. For a stay with more and / or older kids the appartment can be a bit too small. We would definitely come again and thank Ella and Will for the great stay in Boston.

The T station and the beach it's just few minutes away by foot. <br/>There is a really cute little garden putside the studio. Adrian the artist did all the wood work, impressive! <br/>And most importantly, it is SUPER CLEAN! I'm a bit of a clean freak, so trust me on this one. Turn out the sofa bed it's really comfortable, but the real bed it's just way to soft for me. <br/>What's not to like? come and experience Boston with staying in this beautiful, clean, sparkling, well taken care of studio.

The host Manuela was great, she made sure I was comfortable and that everything was in order.  The home is an older home, but it has a desk and a bed, with a shared Shower and Restroom that you share with 1 other room on your floor, though while I was there no one else was ever in that other room.
<br/>
<br/>Checkin and checkout were really easy and went smooth.  Dining options in the area are limited, but be sure to check out Cafe Polonia, really good authentic Polish food.

My experience at Manuela's was great. The room was clean and nice, and while I did share a bathroom with one other guest, I had my peace and privacy the entire time. The arrangements are two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen per floor. The neighborhood is quite interesting, and I did not feel unsafe as some people have said about South Boston. The house is also located right next to Andrew Station, so it's easy to access the Red Line to take you downtown. Overall would recommend!

Valerie and Jason are a nice couple who care about making your stay as nice as possible. Lovely home very comfortable and warm. The room is clean and a large size, with enough room. All the essentials you may have forgotten to bring are provided. They also provide an very nice breakfast and we got treated to some delicious homemade muffins whilst staying which was a bonus. The other thing I will say maybe be a downside for some is that your bedroom is on the 3rd level and your bathroom is on the 1st, but we didn't mind too much.  If we are back in the area we would stay again!

<br/>We did have some trouble finding the place initially as the address shows up on Google Maps as slightly farther up the street than it actually is.
<br/>
<br/>Also, this wasn't a problem for us, but if you are planning on cooking, you may find the kitchen lacking. There is no counter space at all and also no table to substitute for a counter and/or eat at.

Leiligheten ligger fint til i sentrum, fin gåtur til "downtown". Takterassen er enkel , men en fin mulighet i fint vær. Det meste man trenger i nabolaget; restauranter og små butikker. Ikke det man vil kalle høy standard i Norge , men helt ok. Prisen var litt drøy for bare 3 personer, men utnytter man plassen og er 6 personer så er den ok!

Continental breakfast and homemade cookies included in the price was a nice bonus! The neighborhood is calm and quiet and there is good public transport to central Boston and nice paths for running along the river just a few minutes from the house. Phyllis is very friendly and she picked me up from the train station and gave me a quick introduction to Boston while we were driving back home. I recommend Phyllis' place to anyone looking for a homey place to sleep for a short stay in Boston.

Ella and Will were very considerate, honest, and helpful hosts.  From the initial rent request they were prompt to respond and answered all questions thoroughly.   The neighborhood was safe and offered a friendly corner market and a tasty Greek restaurant where we ate breakfast one morning.  We loved the bed, so comfy.  We found the apt very comfortable and clean.  Though the steep stairs to the bedroom posed no problem for us, they might be challenging to anyone with mobility issues.

Susie was absolutely fantastic and provided a great experience for my friend's and my first trip to Boston. Our arrival time ended up being super delayed, and she was so understanding and made the place feel so welcoming right from the beginning. She gave us great sightseeing recommendations and provided us with maps to help our navigation be a bit easier. SUPER great space; we had our own floor, with a bathroom, kitchen, and living area. We were out visiting Boston, Rhode Island, Plymouth, etc., during the day, but it was so nice to come back to a place that felt like home in the evening. The location was great - it was a 5 min walk to the nearest T stop, but far enough out to be in a peaceful suburb of Boston. Would totally recommend her place!!

We (2 adults & 1 toddler) had three nights at Jay's apartment and we have nothing but praise for such a great apartment and host. I would go as far to say it's the BEST Airbnb accommodation I've stayed at to date. 
<br/>Jay was a very attentive host. He sent through all the location details, access information for the building, and replied to all our queries promptly.
<br/>
<br/>Despite the previous guests still being at the apartment when we arrived, Jay kept me updated, Jess the cleaner came in right away once they'd left and got the place looking spick and span.  The apartment had all the amenities and then some you could possibly need. It's in the best location near supermarkets, restaurants, bars and liquor stores. It's only a stones throw from the train line, and walking distance to all the tourist sights. Beacon Hill itself is a very pretty place with lots of boutique shops, cafes and good coffee. My only gripe (and it's hardly worth a mention) would be to say the bed in the far bedroom sagged a little in the middle, but the linen was luxurious and clean and pillows were comfy. 
<br/>
<br/>Thanks for making our trip to Boston a good one Jay.
<br/>
<br/>FYI - Do yourself a favour and stay at Jay's if you are ever in Boston. It's a lovely apartment in a great city.  My only advice would be; don't bother with a car. You won't need it and parking is very expensive as we learned the hard way.

This is a great apartment with such a beautiful ocean view. The room was clean and amenities were in a very good condition. It is very convenient to have a private bathroom right in front of the bedroom, so you never need to bother the host (George) who lives in the master bedroom -- I actually could not have any chance to encounter him at all during my 4-day stay. However, George is very kind to take care of guests via emails and/or text messages. In addition, one of the best part of this apartment is the location -- right next to a lot of hotels and conference centers. 
<br/>
<br/>I fully enjoyed my stay at this beautiful waterfront apartment. Thanks George!

Pragya's place was the perfect location for a first timer in Boston. It was very conveniently located to good places to eat and cool things to see. It was about a 10 minute walk to the nearest transit station, and from there I was just a few stops away from even cooler Boston sights. As for the place itself, the apartment is located on the second floor of an old, multistory building, so the floors creaked a bit and noises traveled pretty easily, but this didn't detract from the allure of the apartment at all. The kitchen is tiny but well stocked, and Pragya was kind enough to let us help ourselves to her food. The living room is very spacious and nicely laid out--there is no TV, however. The bedroom is a good size for two people without feeling cramped. The bathroom is also pretty big. Everything was cleaned, but you can still tell it's a lived in place. All in all, I would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting Boston who's looking for a good time at a cheap and central location.

We absolutely loved our short stay at Polly's place! So cold outside, so cozy and warm in the room! A lot more than expected was in the room! Heater if needed, romantic led candles, live flowers!! Lots of bath treats. But most amazing - next day breakfast, we could hear incredible flavor of freshly baked banana bread the minute we woke up. Very hospitable and helpful host!<br/>Ps, although we rented a room, it was basically just us in the house. Came with a 3 y.o. child, who loved it too!

The apartment was beautiful, even better than it looks in the photos. Extremely clean and well presented. The bedrooms are spacious and well appointed. Jason was great at communicating with us during the booking process and prior to our arrival. The check-in process was extremely easy and hassle-free, with the keys in a lock box at the front door when we arrived. The apartment is in a nice street in South Boston with some good bars and restaurants around but is about a 2-3km walk into the main city centre. This was fine for us as we enjoy walking but if you're not up for the walk you may need to catch a cab as the metro station was also quite a distance away. 
<br/>
<br/>The apartment had a lovely view of the city from the lounge area which was a nice surprise. I would highly recommended this apartment for those looking to stay in the South Boston area.

Jose was terrific at making sure we had the required information to access the apartment and he was always available via telephone during our stay if we needed him.
<br/>The apartment was in the North End neighbourhood of Boston, which is a lively Little Italy and fantastic location to explore the city from.
<br/>The apartment was neat and clean and served our purposes well for our 5 day stay.  It was great to have a fridge and cooking facilities available as there were a few evenings that we were so tired we just wanted to cook dinner and relax on the couch!
<br/>We particularly loved the water pressure in the shower, the bed was comfortable, it was a great place to stay for 2 people.

Angela and her boyfriend Marco was very hospitable. The room is exactly as shown in the pictures. The flat is very close to Ashmont station, which makes walking to the house from the station after dark pretty safe. Angela keeps the house very clean and tidy. I liked that she had her own system of organization, which was clear to follow. For some nights we had interesting conversations over tea. Angela is well-traveled and and open-minded so I have no doubt that she can accommodate any type of person.

We had an absolutely wonderful escape to Boston from our home in Maine.....it is hard to find a reasonably priced location near downtown Boston.  And now we have found it!  The quiet and secure neighborhood is historic and it is clear that all the owners have a sense of pride in their neighborhood.  It is an easy walk to the Orange Line and the bus lines.  The studio apartment was spacious, ultra-clean and well appointed.  The bed linens were very comfortable and the towels were soft and fresh.  Tyree's husband welcomed us warmly and generously to their home, even saving us a parking spot directly in front of the house.  Tyree was equally as welcome with complete information about access to the apartment and her welcome.  She was a wonderful communicator.  We recommend this charing urban studio to other airbnbers.

So thrilled with our stay at Glenn's beautiful apartment.  We were running 2 1/2 hours late due to traffic, but Vivian was so accomodating and she welcomed us with real warmth and graciousness.  The apartment is even nicer than the photos, and the neighborhood is an A+.  An easy stroll to Boston Commons, past some lovely shops, restaurants, and beautiful architecture.  Quiet, residential neighborhood, with access to convenience shops, Starbucks, take-out and fancy restaurants alike.  We were only there for one night, but the well-appointed kitchen was perfect for whipping up a nice breakfast before heading out for the day.  COMFY queensized bed and sleeper sofa.  Thank you, Glenn... we'll be back!!

We're super excited to have Hiliary as a host, she's very friendly (and so is Aggie!). The place is a stone's throw away from the T, and there are great cafes and restaurants nearby.

We really enjoyed staying at Lawerence and Carrie's apartment, which truly is quite a gem. It was very beautiful, comfortable, and immaculately clean. The three bedrooms were all very comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and quite flawless, the living room was nice and comfortable with a great entertainment system, and the area around it was nice and quiet, and full of natural beauty. The people living downstairs seemed very friendly.
<br/>
<br/>We gave Lawrence a call to ask about something we misunderstood on the check-in guide (mistake was from our end), and he responded immediately, and sorted us out right away.
<br/>
<br/>The guide to the neighborhood they supplied was quite good and we tried 2 of the restaurants they recommended (Briar Rose & Fairmount Grille), and the food at both places was just amazing.

We felt confident from the photos and the reviews that we would have an enjoyable stay with Penny and her son Dakota and we were not disappointed by either the room and its en suite or by the general atmosphere of their home and hospitality. Penny has plenty of great information about the locality to share for those who want it, and we had a good chats without feeling pressure to do so. We wanted some quiet time to reflect and found the room, with its great view of trees, homes and a church, a great place to do that. From previous experience of Boston my wife and I were very familiar with Jamaica Plain, but were pleasantly surprised to find Penny's home was in a quite special area of JP we didn't know about...a little sanctuary nestled away from the hustle and bustle yet just a couple of minutes walk from Center Street's restaurant's, cafes, shops and buses. All the technicalities were really well handled from pre-communications to food available for breakfast and snacks. We would be most happy to return again on a future visit!

<br/>The only thing I think other people should be aware of is if you have mobility issues or medical condition this may not be for you as there are 7 flights of stairs no lift. 
<br/>Perhaps one of Jose's other properties next door might be better for you.

Lita was very helpful, friendly and welcoming - she provided us a full information on how to use everything in the house and was very responsive. 
<br/>The location is great - the Stony Brook T station is in a short walking distance (about 10 mins), bus stop is just outside the house. The way to Downtown Crossing or Copley Square takes maximum 30 minutes, normally it's much faster.  There are many places to eat and drink in a walking distance, food store is just one block away, 7/11 and CVS are just across the street. 
<br/>The house was well-equiped with everything necessary. We used a free parking place for a rented car just in front of the house.
<br/>The only remark we could make is that it was not clean enough - we noticed dust somewhere in the house and crumbs on the kitchen. As for towels, bed linen - they were clean.
<br/>For such a big company as ours (7 adults, 2 kids) the apartment was very comfortable!

It has a wonderful location, close to the metro, CVS and surrounded by many great restaurants (even close to a Brazilian bakery, what else could I ask for?!?). Victor was a perfect host, promptly replying to any contact I made before and upon arrival. He also very nicely provided us with milk, water, beer, coffee, snacks and breakfast food - we were very happy about everything and loved our stay. Will definitely stay there again if I am back in Boston and totally recommend for anyone in the area. Thank you, Victor!

Stayed with Michelle during my first trip to Boston visiting a friend, and had a fantastic time! Michelle is a wonderful host (and the food she bakes is fantastic - granola bars especially!)
<br/>
<br/>Michelle's house is lovely, and very comfortable. The room I stayed in was perfect and cosy and a great size! (Plus, there were some very adorable cats and as a cat lover, this was perfect.) There was a selection of breakfast food provided and lots of tea.
<br/>
<br/>Not only is the house a fab place to stay, but it's very close to both the bus station (about a 3-minute walk to the bus station which takes you straight into town) and Roxbury Crossing. Commuting was very easy to get used to (I don't drive, so relied on buses/trains and found that it was rather easy as the house was so close). Plus, the Dudley Cafe is nearby which I found to be a great place for a latte and snack. 
<br/>
<br/>Michelle gave me plenty of advice on where to go in Boston and how to get there. She was very helpful, sweet and kind, and I definitely want to come back. This was my first booking with AirBnB and was an altogether fantastic experience.

We stayed in the apartment 'under the light of old North church'. Had a good stay. The apartment is bigger than we expected. We came to Boston to see Bruins and Celtics at TD Garden and this apartment was in the perfect location, 10min walk from there. As previous reviewers have mentioned, there were some dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived, and we could also hear the neighbours, thin walls - just bring earplugs. Seems to be good value, compared to most places in Boston. Jason is a good host.

The condo is absolutely beautiful and the pictures are identical to how it looks. It is a quiet area that is centrally located. The layout of unit itself is smaller but is very spacious and you never feel crowded. Three of us stayed in the unit and my sister and husband came to visit for a couple hours the night before we left without any issues of where to sit or feeling cramped while hanging out in the living/kitchen area. Jason was a delight to work with and I would recommend staying here in the future. He made my stay very easy and comfortable. He was very polite and quick to reply to my messages or questions. It was my first time using Airbnb and it will be hard for another host to top this experience.  He was out of town during my visit but always a quick email away. Jason's hospitality and gorgeous property made this stay memorable. I would highly recommend staying at one of Jason's properties. I know it will be the first place I look when returning to Boston in the future.

Katy was a great host and her home is amazing. Me and 3 of my friends came to Boston to celebrate our college friends bday, and wanted a place that was spacious and conveniently located outside the city but not too far. This was the perfect place for us. <br/>Katy was so considerate providing us with detailed information about how to get the key, use the heat and Apple TV, and even said we could help ourselves to the food in the fridge. She has two beautiful cats, and they were pretty awesome. They did their own thing for the most part but sometimes they would look for attention which was just fine! <br/>The rooms were great and the beds and pillows were so comfortable. We had no complaints about the nights sleep we got this weekend. <br/>This is only my second time using Airbnb  but I can confidently say there's not many other places where you can experience better hospitality than here! I would definitely stay at Katy's home again!
