Union Square House

In the middle of Union Square with tons of restaurants, music, bars and farmers market, yet on a small cul de sac with a private and comfy garden oasis. Best of all, steps to the new Train station to take you directly to all Boston has to offer.
We love our location and our home. Quirky yet comfy. Two floors of living with a full kitchen, new rain shower bathroom, and 3 bedrooms and a cozy living room.

Union Square was recently rated as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. Come see what it's all about.

Property was great - well maintained and stocked, comfortable beds, clean. There was a Pride event in Union Square behind the house and we could barely hear it.The neighborhood is has lots of restaurants/shops and the house is less than two blocks from a T station.

Sommerville classic home

A bright cozy kitchen and beautifully updated bathroom made this home very comfortable for our stay in Boston. Its steep stairs and creaky floors give it the right amount of charm. We walked to the green line, flower shop, outdoor market, bakery and restaurants. Thank you for sharing your home.

Awesome!

This was a family trip to Boston, all of us except my wife for the first time. We had a packed trip and this property was perfectly located in a great neighborhood, with about a 5 minute walk to the T. This was our primary transportation, so that was really nice. The property was clean and well maintained, with a separate room for my wife and I, a friend that was with us, and our 3 children. Joe, the owner, was very quick to respond to questions and was above and beyond accommodating. We highly recommend this property.

Pleasant location!

I booked online and found the hosts communicative and the location very walkable. Restaurants, coffee, laundromat, drinks, nails and hair salons are all nearby. The contactless check-in was smooth, the parking pass and space out front easily sorted, and it was even pet friendly. There is a pet friendly green space a couple blocks over. If you don't mind a longer walk Harvard, museums, and downtown Boston are in the vicinity; I saw public bikes and other transport as well. I would certainly revisit some of the restaurants that I tried and there is plenty to do downtown. Their neighbor was even pleasant and briefly said hello. I didn't need to use the 3rd floor bedrooms and found the space very suitable; the stairs to 3rd were too steep for the pups to move up and down comfortably (they got curious, went up, and needed some help down). I did not use any outdoor space this trip. In any case, the location and walkability was my primary interest and it definitely delivered :) The hosts were wonderful about sorting out any questions and helped with check-in timing while remaining contactless. If you want walkable dining, free parking, and pet friendly accommodations then this booking may be for you.

Apartment was great for Union Square. Comfortable and well located with a great new bath. Steep, narrow stairs to 3rd floor bedrooms a small hurdle but our stay was without complaint otherwise. We were happy to find it.

Awesome location, lovely home

My family and I were in for a wedding and this turned out to be literally around the corner from the venue. The location was convenient, but also in a lovely part of town. The house itself is a mix of dated construction and modern upgrades. The bathroom, in particular, is quite comfortable. On the flip side, the stairs going up to the top floor bedrooms are very, very steep.

Only reason for the 4 star is the two rooms at the top of what seemed like a latter/ stairs very steep. Over all it was clean and a great neighborhood. I would not hesitate to say again.
