Centrally Located Basic Studio

This special place is close to everything, located between two of Boston`s best neighborhoods, the South End known for its food scene and the Back Bay home to great shopping and coffee bars. This studio is on the 1st floor of an old Boston brownstone. It is equipped with a full private bathroom, fridge, oven, cabinets and closet, all packed into approximately 228 sqft. Its history dates back to the early 1900s where it was originally run as a Lodging House for short term stays.

Everything you need and nothing you don`t. Our motto is to provide fairly priced furnished apartments in great locations. The location will make up for the cramped space, but I think you`ll find that once you settle in, you don`t always need a ton of space! This unit is unique because it has a long hallway once you enter the apartment and the space is located in the back of the building so it should be super quiet.

you`ll have access to the entire apartment and will not share any space with other guests.

We give you the privacy you need while being available for help. We have a full operations and maintenance team and 24/7 guest messaging team for support.

This apartment is located on the southeastern border of the Back Bay neighborhood, bordering the South End and just across Massachusetts Avenue from Northeastern University. This little micro-neighborhood is 8 blocks east to west, and its boundaries are Huntington Avenue, Copley Place, the Southwest Corridor Park and Massachusetts Avenue.
The area was formed during a large-scale reclamation of Boston marsh lands back in the early nineteenth century. The area is central to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, but still has a safe quiet residential feel. There`s quiet areas for reading, walking a dog, or playing tennis, basketball, or hanging on the lawns at the Southwest Corridor Park. You`ll be able to enjoy the benefits of easy access to restaurants, pubs, bars, coffee shops and live music nearby, while enjoying the peace and quiet of a comfortable residential neighborhood.

Boston is one of the most walkable cities, and this location really ideal in that its pretty much in the middle of everything. As a provider of short-term medical stays for patients and longer term stays for travel nurses, the location couldn`t be more accessible to our top hospitals.

Condition of Apartment & Damages
It is our strong suggestion that you as the guest, report any damage you find inside the apartment within the first 4 hours of check-in. We do thorough maintenance checks, but sometimes, we miss things. When this happens we will confirm that the damage was not your responsibility. However, if no damage is reported within the first 4 hours of the booking, and there is damage found at the end of your stay, the replacement and repair value may be the responsibility of the guest. By reporting some issues in the first 4 hours we can confirm the condition and free you of responsibility.

Early Check-in & Late Check-Out
If you want to check in early or check out late, you must request the option at least 24 hours in advance. Our early check-in time is 2:00pm. Our late check-out time is 1:00pm. The cost for either of these is $50. If you are in the apartment after the check-out time, you will be assessed a $100 late-check-out fee for every hour beyond the check-out time. All ECI and LCO are subject to our approval and availability. We are not responsible for guest belongings after check-out time. Your items will be left in the hallway and our teams will clean the unit immediately.

Pre-check-out condition
Unlike other hosts, we do not have any dedicated tasks for our guests to perform upon leaving. This is what our cleaning fees are for. Our team will take pictures of your unit condition upon check-out. If there is excessive trash in the unit upon check-out we will charge an additional $100 deep clean fee. Hospital/Medical Stays
