Beacon Hill is the most Historic neighborhood in Massachusetts. Colonial era, Boston brownstones, cobblestone streets, and the gas lanterns, will transport you to the 1800's. Our place is not a modern construction at all, and it does not have a hotel feel at all, it is our home amazingly located among it all. Although the street (Ridgeway Lane) is quiet, the brownstone building is located in an old/historic and elegant neighborhood (Beacon Hill) - our condo is located in a brownstone building dating from the 1800's - street gas lamps, but also old piping; expect some routine/sporadic home noises/sounds every now ant then. Old charming building and home.
Public transportation surrounds us, centrally located among all major public transportation systems, including South Station and North Station. Blue, Green Red and Orange Line are all walking distance from the unit.
Access to a small courtyard. This is a very quiet street and quiet building. Please note that to get to the bedrooms you need to go down the spiral staircase.
This place is non smoking, no pets.
With the kitchen and the living room and a half bathroom on the first floor (entrance level) and the bedrooms located below. Guests with mobility issues will not be able to go up and down the spiral stairs to the bedrooms located downstairs.

I am available if you need me. Happy to recommend places to eat and places that make Boston famous!

Great apartment & location

This is a fantastic place. Quirky, clean and comfortable in an unbeatable location. The spiral stairs are steep and narrow so not for those with mobility issues. The plumbing does make noise but as Brits we all are used to old buildings with interesting sounds so no issue for us. We would definitely stay here again. Good clear instructions from owner.

Awesome location in Boston which was key as we didn't have a car. Very walkable to many areas of Boston, the park and the train station from the house. The house is a little outdated and the instructions for the AC were not correct, but once we figured it out it worked okay. We were there in wit was in the in the mid to upper 90s, so jtypical w

Perfect Boston City Location

The location for city exploration is excellent. Keep in mind that this is a small apartment with realistic limitations in an older building. Look closely at other reviews which do talk about their concerns for limitations. For the four of us, seasoned travelers in our 70's, it worked out great ... we are adaptable!!!

Nice location, to get your luggage to the bedroom is tricky, spiral stairscase

The only thing is if your a light sleeper you might have a problem the water pipes are very noisy. It’s an old building. For the check in process we were not informed that the look box was in a cabinet outside the door. I found it out of sheer luck and there are multiple lock boxes so we tried 3 and got luck.

Tremendous location, with single metro ride from airport and walkable to the historic sites. This is a well converted ground level flat to add the two basement level bedrooms. Tight spiral stairway is not for the faint of heart but works here.

Perfect location for a family getaway!

We stayed four nights and it was perfect for our needs. Lots of space for the teen children to spread out and can't imagine a more perfect location in the center of everything. Accurate description of property including that the stairs will not work for anyone that is older or has issues with tight spaces. Everything is dated but absolutely functional. Would absolutely return!

Great location in Beacon Hill

Everything was just as described - great location, cozy, well furnished, lots of room for our party of 4. The knocking/tapping noise from the pipes was loud and kept us up at night, so we had to buy ear plugs - but other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

Location was great

The location of the place was its best feature. We were able to drop off our luggage prior to check-in since we had an early flight. The spiral staircase was challenging at times because of its narrow stairs. We found it was easier to keep our suitcases upstairs and bring down clothes each day, a large suitcase would be very difficult to take it down the stairs. The place was clean but the towels were fewer than we needed.but was resolved. We are currently communicating with the owner with sending us the item we erroneously left there,

We had a wonderful stay! This apartment is in a great locacation in Beacon Hill and close to the North End. You can walk anywhere from this location. Old and full of character, this accomodation was both comfortable and interesting. The kitchen was well stocked, wifi worked well, and the proprieters where responsive.
