We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location is everything we could have asked for. Super charming apartment with all the amenities you need. The most pleasant surprise was the private courtyard which was perfect for early mornings or sunsets. The hosts Cindy and Arthur were the epitome of northern hospitality. Would definitely recommend staying here. We will certainly book here again when visiting Boston!

This apartment was everything we were looking for and needed!! Mrs Cindy the owner was very kind and helpful. Anything we needed or any questions we had she was just always a text message away!! Loved the neighborhood it was just far enough away from the big city and a short walk to about anything we wanted to do. Would highly recommend staying.

Lovely apartment on a quiet street in Charlestown. Still relatively close to all the sights but out of the main hustle and bustle of the city. The apartment itself was adorable and well appointed. You can tell that the owners take great pride in their property. The beds were comfortable, including the sofa bed, and the apartment was quiet as well. Arthur, who met us at check in, was so friendly and a great welcome to the city. I would highly recommend this property!

My family and I loved this charming, historical, well stocked apartment in Boston. It was the perfect location. We could walk anywhere!
It was so clean and full of all the things you might need and want! The owners who live upstairs are very lovely and were accommodating to our needs! The neighborhood was beautiful. I would recommend this location to anyone and hope to stay again myself!

We loved the charm of this 1 bedroom apartment in a historical building. We also loved the short walk (3 blocks?) to restaurants, Whole Foods, & CVS. We were a bit worried about noise at night with how many people were out and about during the day, but there was little to no evening noise that we noticed.

This apartment is simply lovely. It is clean, bright, and has a good amount of space. We came during terrible weather and I’m so glad we stayed here instead of a hotel since we had a bit of space to spread out and play some card games. The location is great for walking in good weather or taking an Uber in bad weather. Plus, there are a lot of little things in the home to make your stay comfortable, such as umbrellas or reusable grocery bags. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

Cindy was a SUPER HOST! She is warm and friendly. Everything in the apartment was clean, well furnished, delicate, and quaint. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Perfectly located restaurants, with friendly staff. We had a wonderful time in Boston!
5.0
We had a wonderful time in Boston, a time we will never forget, in large part due to our first Vrbo experience in Cindy and Arthur’s beautiful home which had everything to make our stay comfy and cozy, just like home. We loved it!

Spotless, very comfortable and well-appointed apartment in a beautiful neighborhood. The owners thought of every need. End unit has many nice windows so it was bright. Area seemed very safe. We easily walked all over Boston. Close to everything and yet not in the city at the same time. Perfect for the two of us.

Cindy was absolutely wonderful. She greeted us at the door, offered to help with luggage, personally showed us everything in the apt, provided us info sheets on local services and restaurants, and answered all questions immediately. Apt was lovely, gave us privacy between bedroom and sitting areas which is helpful since we keep somewhat different schedules. There was construction outside but it never bothered us through closed windows. Metro stop was only about 5 min away which was stupendous. Lighting over kitchen table is dim at night. Cindy has supplied the apt with portable/rolling shopping cart. I can't say enough in praise of that. We've stayed at many rented spaces, with multiple family, and durations that warranted grocery shopping and had nothing but our limited ability to carry heavy bags! This was the one and only time the owner has facilitated shopping when no car is involved or otherwise needed. They also have a well made, full size couch, where many supply only the smaller size and/or questionable support. Thank you so much!

Thanks to our hosts for sharing this fabulous location with us. More room to roam as our family seems to outgrowing hotel rooms. Fantastic location, easy access to the Boston transit system, great restaurants. If we travel back to Boston will definitely stay at this location again.

If this place is a available the next time you are heading towards Boston, book it! Cindy and Arthur’s place is gorgeous and Charlestown couldn’t be a more perfect sightseeing base. The apartment lives like a house, is very roomy with a good sized kitchen and large bedroom. The pullout bed was super comfortable too.. Arthur and Cindy were such gracious wonderful hosts. Don’t hesitate to reserve this clean beautiful place if you are lucky enough for it to be open.

We loved our stay here. Charlestowne is a very nice area, and we moved that we could walk to food and groceries. There are a lot of wonderful restaurants within a few blocks of the apartment. The hosts were great, and staying in a historic property was exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely stay here again.

The apartment is just a described and pictured! VERY clean and well-appointed. The drink & dinnerware were just right for us. Linens are high quality. Plenty of hangers and a very decent iron/board. Brief instructions in the kitchen and bathroom help. Cindy gave helpful info when we arrived - the map she & Arthur created with local stores/etc. was very helpful. She outlined the process for the subway, too. The apartment is just right for a few days or weeks.

The historical neighborhood is a delight to walk through and well located with easy access to restaurants and Bostons major attractions. Highly recommended!

Cindy and her husband opened their Charlestown apartment to my family of four (adults or very near adults) and I could not be more appreciative or complimentary. Discovering Charlestown as a unique, historic district and staying in a historic home set a wonderful tone for our Boston trip. The apartment is spacious and the four of us had room for privacy and to relax after a day on the town. The decor is welcoming, beds are plentiful and comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, bathroom was clean and had useful amenities (tons of toilet paper, soap, towels). The patio is a nice respite and watching locals going about their business while eating a meal or enjoying a cup of coffee gives a nice homey feel. Cindy helped with food recommendations which were great-don’t miss the historic Warren Tavern just a block or so away. We really loved that we could retreat from the busy hustle of Boston and stay in a clean, safe part of town that had all the colonial charm you travel to see. Bonus-this apartment allows for easy, walkable access to the city. Downtown and the North End are 15 min by foot and the T is only 7-10 minutes up the street for access to the whole city. 100% recommend.

My two sisters and I did a "sister trip" to Boston and stayed at Arthur and Cindy's apartment. It was clean, well-stocked and very comfortable. We so enjoyed having our morning coffee in the courtyard. Arthur met us at the door when we arrived and explained everything. We highly recommend this property.
