Beautiful apartment
Sue was extremely helpful and communicative. She was there to greet us and gave us a tour of the apartment. She stayed in contact and checked in regularly to make sure all of our needs were met. The apartment is great. It’s a wonderful location right in the heart of the Back Bay area. Easy walk to Boston Commons, Newbury St, and other popular areas. The rooftop view is absolutely gorgeous. The apartment was large, clean, and very comfortable. There was plenty of cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and bathroom toiletries to use. There is some noise as to be expected by being in a large city on a busy street, but we didn’t find the noise to be loud or disruptive inside the apartment. If that bothers you, they had white noise machines and earplugs in both rooms (we did not need either). They also have blackout shades to make the rooms very dark. You are a very quick walk to a nearby train station and also lots of good restaurants. If you’re interested in Northeastern or Boston University, it is very close to both of those schools. We loved it and would definitely stay there again! Sue was a fabulous host!

Our Boston Stay in the South End
We had a FABULOUS stay in the South end unit. Our place was clean and very beautiful, and our two host, Sue and David, were very helpful, welcoming and thoughtful. We arrived late, and we were greeted and helped with our bags, and David even helped us park, which I was nervous about coming in the dark, and being tired, etc. Also, creamer and coffee was also placed in the fridge for the morning, which I loved. What sold us in the end on booking the unit was the parking spot, which was right in the back of the unit. Sue also said they have a spot near Northeastern University when that spot is taken, which is also good. The other selling point is of course the roof deck. Wow ! I never knew you could see stars that close to a city ! Such a beautiful bonus ! My daughter and I were looking at colleges in the Boston area, and the location was great! We walked to the two schools we looked at, and afterwards did some shopping on Newbury street and enjoyed other sites in Boston. The orange line is within a minute walking distance as well. All in all I would book again. I would recommend Sue and David's place for sure.

Quintessential Brownstone in the Perfect Location
Susan and her husband went above and beyond to ensure our stay was everything it could be and more. From accommodating us early to stocking the pantry with cooking essentials, our stay was relaxing and wonderful from start to finish. I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone. The location is perfect in the heart of downtown and you are easily able to access any part of town. 10/10 would recommend!

Great place in the heart of Northeastern University /South End
We wanted room to spread out while visiting our college daughter and taking work meetings. So much better than a hotel room! Comfortable bed, laundry in the building, great kitchen, lovely rooftop deck. It’s in the bush Massachusetts Avenue, so a bit loud with city noise in the morning (hosts supplied earplugs, black out shades on the window). Plenty of outlets, a wireless printer…great for WFH between live meetings. Very close to the T, buses, terrific restaurants, beautiful community gardens and Northeastern’s campus. Susan and David were super responsive and very friendly.

This was our first trip to Boston, we wanted to truly experience the city and stay in a brownstone and be in the heart of everything, well this is it!! Beautiful brownstone walking distance to almost everything you need and want to see and do. Jump on the T or take an Uber so convenient. Sue is such a great hostess she goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need and makes you feel right at home. We were so impressed with everything and so happy that we found this property and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the true essence of Boston and we will definitely stay again.

Beautiful penthouse close to Boston T
Loves this two bedroom brownstone penthouse in Boston. We were on same block as Boston T which is the only way to get around with no parking and crazy traffic in Boston. The wonder provided coffee, cream, water filtration pitcher which we appreciated. Loved having laundry. Clean well stocked home! Would stay again!
