Great winter stay in beacon hill
The location couldn’t be better and the home was beautiful. Getting up and down the stairs to the bedrooms is not the easiest for older family members but that was expected and didn’t take away from the wonderful stay.

Thanksgiving on Beacon Hill
We spent Thanksgiving week with family at this beautiful house. A quintessential Boston experience! The house was lovely and located in a great area - close to the Boston Common, Back Bay, Seaport, North End, etc. The house was well-appointed and spacious. Highly recommend.

Awesome stay
The property is spectacular. The winding staircase is grand. The kitchen is a chefs dream. And Amy, the property manager was courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful when we arrived. The rooms were spacious and the beds are so comfy. The house has 5 floors, but the elevator helps when you don’t want to use the stairs. There were enough bathrooms for all 7 of us. Will stay here again when we go to Boston again.

Our stay at the Aldrich House was awesome!
Our stay at the Aldrich House was awesome! Aldrich house is historic and a rare find in a fabulous neighborhood. My granddaughter attends Emerson University and it was a short walk to campus with several fabulous restaurants nearby. The park was amazing and also a short walk. My family has already booked our return in May. Amy - Aldrich's House manager was extremely helpful, kind and very knowledgeable with any questions and or recommendations we asked of her. Can't wait to return. J. Jarvis
