About this house rental
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
The whole home is yours.
When you book this property, you have the entire residence — both suites, all common areas, the kitchen, the outdoor space, and the parking. There are no other guests, no shared hallways, no hotel lobbies. Just a beautifully considered home that happens to be in one of Boston's finest neighborhoods.
The home belongs to a working artist and former technology executive who has spent years filling it with original work, thoughtful furnishings, and the kind of considered details that make a space feel genuinely alive. High ceilings and abundant natural light give every room a calm, unhurried quality. It is modern and minimal without being cold — this is a home, not a showroom.
THE SUITES
King Suite — with Private Ensuite Bath
A spacious, serene primary bedroom with a king-size bed and its own ensuite bathroom with glass encasee rainshower. Quiet, well-appointed, and designed for genuine rest. Whether you've just flown in for a graduation, finished 26.2 miles, or wrapped a long week of meetings, this is the room you want to come back to.
Full/Queen Suite — with Private Bath
A bright, comfortable second bedroom with a full/queen bed and a private bathroom with bathtub steps from the room. Thoughtfully furnished with the same attention to detail as the rest of the home. Equal in quality, different in scale.
Both suites are fully private. Two couples traveling together will each have their own bedroom and their own bathroom — no compromises, no awkward sharing.
THE HOME
Kitchen
A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook properly. For groups staying several nights, this is a significant convenience — and cost saving — over eating out for every meal.
Outdoor Space
A private outdoor area for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply decompressing after a day in the city. Outdoor space is rare this close to Boston, and this home has it.
Washer & Dryer
Available for guests. Essential for longer stays, marathon runners, or anyone who packed light.
Parking
On-site parking is included. In Davis Square, this is not a small thing — street parking in this neighborhood is competitive, and having a guaranteed spot eliminates an entire category of Boston travel stress.
Bike Path Access
The home sits directly on the Somerville Community Path, a dedicated cycling and walking trail that runs through the heart of Somerville. Bring a bike, rent one locally, or simply use it for a morning run away from traffic.
Original Artwork
The walls throughout the home feature original works by the owner. It gives the space a warmth and distinctiveness that no hotel can replicate.
WHY THIS HOME FOR YOUR TRIP
Graduation Families
Harvard Commencement is a 10-minute T ride. MIT is 15 minutes. The two-suite configuration is purpose-built for the classic graduation trip: parents in the king suite, student or sibling in the second. A full kitchen means a proper family breakfast on the big morning. Parking means no Uber scramble. Book early — Davis Square fills up fast in May.
Boston Marathon
Davis Square sits right on the Red Line, which runs parallel to much of the course. You can watch at multiple points and get back easily. The washer and dryer are there for post-race gear. The king suite has the bed a runner deserves after 26.2 miles. Minimum stay applies for marathon weekend — book well in advance.
FIFA World Cup 2026
Boston is hosting seven World Cup matches between June 13 and July 9, including a quarterfinal. The home is a 35-minute T ride from Gillette Stadium via connecting transit, with parking available if you prefer to drive. For international visitors, having a genuine home base — with a kitchen, laundry, outdoor space, and two private bedrooms — is a far better experience than a hotel room for a multi-week stay.
Corporate & Extended Stays
The home accommodates two travelers in genuine comfort, with the full amenities of a residence. Fast WiFi, a proper workspace, full kitchen, laundry, and parking make it well-suited to week-long or multi-week visits. Davis Square has excellent coffee shops and restaurants within a short walk for working outside the home.
LOCATION & GETTING AROUND
Davis Square is one of Greater Boston's most livable and beloved neighborhoods — independently-minded, walkable, full of excellent food and genuine character. It has the energy of Cambridge with a slightly quieter residential feel.

A NOTE FROM YOUR HOST
I built this home around light, art, and the kind of quiet that lets you think. I spent twenty years in technology before stepping away to focus on my work as an artist, and this home reflects that transition — considered, unhurried, and full of things I genuinely love.
I make it available to guests because I believe a well-designed home should be experienced, not just owned. I hope it gives you and your travel companions a base that makes your time in Boston feel genuinely special.
I'm responsive and easy to reach if anything comes up. Everything you need will be there when you arrive.
