THE SPACE:

This sunny, second-floor (15 stairs up) unit offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with natural light pouring in through large windows and hardwood floors adding to its charm. The two bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on opposite sides of the unit, making it ideal for couples, families, or colleagues who value privacy during their stay.

Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street, the home feels like a quiet escape—yet you’re just minutes from it all.

The kitchen was more than adequately stocked and there were some nice homey touches. Beds were comfy. The overall style of the apartment was pleasing to the eye, in keeping with the historic nature of the building, which sits a stone's throw from the Bunker Hill Monument and National Park. Overall, an interesting neighborhood to explore, and walkable to central Boston.

Beautiful neighborhood! We felt safe and enjoyed our stay. Bunker hill is steps away and there’s a nice walk to downtown along the freedom trail. The T is about 20 minutes away. We got ride shares easily when we wanted a break.
