Beacon Hill is the most Historic neighborhood in Massachusetts. Colonial era, Boston brownstones, cobblestone streets, and the gas lanterns, will transport you to the 1800's. Our place is not a modern construction at all, and it does not have a hotel feel at all, it is our home amazingly located among it all. Although the street (Ridgeway Lane) is quiet, the brownstone building is located in an old/historic and elegant neighborhood (Beacon Hill) - our condo is located in a brownstone building dating from the 1800's - street gas lamps, but also old piping; expect some routine/sporadic home noises/sounds every now ant then. Old charming building and home.

The listing is as described. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The spiral staircase does take a bit of time to get used to using. We left our suitcases on the main floor, rather than struggling to get them up and down the tight staircase. The location is prime, within minutes of many attractions. We took a liking to the Beacon Hill Hotel on Charles Street. Excellent food and a wonderful patio! We only had one request of the hosts during our stay, and they responded promptly and efficiently. All in all, highly recommend!

We stayed four nights and it was perfect for our needs. Lots of space for the teen children to spread out and can't imagine a more perfect location in the center of everything. Accurate description of property including that the stairs will not work for anyone that is older or has issues with tight spaces. Everything is dated but absolutely functional. Would absolutely return!

The spot came just as advertised. The entrance is located in an alleyway but we were able to drive right to the door to unload. I used Spot Hero and found a parking garage five minutes away. Those who have visited Boston before will know how walkable it is so we didn't need the car again until we left. In terms of the accommodations, it was larger than we expected. Large living room upstairs and two large bedrooms below. The whole place was outfitted with everything that you would ever need. We didn't use the kitchen (other than the fridge) but we've not stayed in a VRBO before that was better equipped. As indicated in the description, the spiral staircase is tight so we just left our suitcases upstairs and took what we needed for the four days down to our bedroom. The location is ideal. Five to ten minutes to the North end, Quincy Market, Downtown Crossing, Boston Commons, waterfront and pretty much any other places you'd want to visit. I would highly recommend booking this spot and we will most definitely be back.

Tremendous location, with single metro ride from airport and walkable to the historic sites. This is a well converted ground level flat to add the two basement level bedrooms. Tight spiral stairway is not for the faint of heart but works here.

Location is top notch-walking distance to most areas and minutes from many shops, grocery store and restaurants.The host will send you an extremely detailed explanation of how to check in/out and how to navigate the area-which even as a former Boston resident I appreciated immensely.The amount of room you have is also very much appreciated for a family of four.I cannot however give this place ten stars. It needs a lot of updates to make it more “livable”.The downstairs where the bedrooms are have no AC, only fans (2 in each room), the upstairs/main floor where the living room and kitchen are there is an AC that works really well. The bedrooms got hot specially in the front room that has a very high window with some old blinds- they need a black out shade for the front room since it gets super light as soon as the sun comes out. The place itself is in dire need of a fresh coat of paint, fixing holes on the walls, broken flooring/tiles, broken baseboards, etc. Bathrooms definitely need to be updated, the shower handle kept falling as we turned it on. It also has a LOT of knick knacks/antiques and it made the place feel claustrophobic for us, not quirky and cute- but some people might not mind that. The spiral staircase is treacherous- imagine Ross from FRIENDS saying “pivot, pivot” but you have to do that with just your body. We left all our luggage upstairs. They need to invest back in the property if they are charging people to stay there

The location is perfect for seeing all the wonderful things Boston has to offer. But, be warned this unit is falling apart. There was an abundance of black mold in the AC unit, the oven didn’t work, tile in the bathroom is crumbling and the beds were so old and lumpy. Needs MAJOR TLC.

We had a wonderful stay! This apartment is in a great locacation in Beacon Hill and close to the North End. You can walk anywhere from this location. Old and full of character, this accomodation was both comfortable and interesting. The kitchen was well stocked, wifi worked well, and the proprieters where responsive. I would recommend this rental to anyone who does not have mobility issues and likes adventure!
