This charming 2,000 sq ft apartment on two floors, is located on a tiny, quiet dead-end street, is part of a historic 1892 home, nestled close to both Massachusetts Bay and Dorchester's vibrant downtown. Easily walk to the Shawmut Red Line Station, admiring the old Boston mansions along the way, or stroll to the Fields Corner Red Line Station, also roughly half a mile away. You’ll find an abundance of dining, shopping, and area attractions within walking distance, including Lambert's Rainbow Market, a retro 1950s genuine untouched supermarket.

Boasting brand-new renovations and pristine living quarters, this lovely apartment will truly fulfill all your needs and then some. The huge, third-level loft houses a well-equipped kitchen, a private washer/dryer, a full bathroom, and a light-filled living room with views of downtown Boston close by. Sit and unwind here while tuning into a movie on the large TV. Or, cook with stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space in the kitchen.

On the main (second) level of the apartment, you will discover three airy bedrooms, all equipped with extra-large TVs, work desks, and mini fridges. If you're working remotely, you'll appreciate the private workspaces and the individual mini fridges, which ensure that you can keep your favorite drinks close. The primary en suite bathroom on this level is luxurious, with its dual sinks, walk-in glass shower, and inviting Jacuzzi tub.

Perfect location and clean accommodations. We were a bit disappointed bc the master shower/jacuzzi did not get hot water. I contacted the host who responded quickly. A plumber was supposed to come out to check the plumbing but never showed. There were 2 other showers to use but just a bit disappointed

Our owner, Christopher, host was a delight. We learned that this really old property was owned by the Irish chef of police of Boston. A lot of stairs to climb. Nice kitchen/family room. It’s an old house that needs some minor fixing up and a lot of attention to small details be an overall five star property. The location is only 5 to 6 miles from downtown Boston and the airport but during rush hour the commute is a real challenge. Plenty outlets for our electronics. More than most hotels.

Beautiful Stay in Boston!!
Our family had an amazing stay in Boston. The host was excellent and made sure all our needs were met. The apartment was as advertised. It was very clean and was perfect for a family vacation. There were snacks in the room as well as drinks. We would recommend this place and our host.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY
This is a multi unit property which we knew BUT there is no way to lock the door that connects the two properties. The man staying in the connecting property could get into ours and we have kids. NOT safe at all and the listing did not say connecting properties. STAY AWAY
