About this condo rental

Nestled in Beacon Hill, this attractive condo for £179 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. This fully furnished studio apartment is in a 1860s, owner occupied townhouse, located in the historic district of Beacon Hill. It is smack dab in the center of Boston, just two blocks to the Boston Common and Public Garden, and equal distance to the Charles River Esplanade. The studio is dedicated to short-term rentals i.e. the closets and such are empty, but cooking equipment and linens are complete. It is an amazingly quiet room and also sunny. There are two flights of stairs, see photo. You will be steps away from the bustle and vibrancy of Charles St., Beacon Hill's main shopping street, on which there are excellent restaurants of various Zagat ratings (and costs), boutiques, art galleries, jewelry stores, gift stores, bakeries, cafes, small food stores, dry cleaners with laundry services, shoe repair, florists, chocolate/nut store, and the such. There is a Whole Foods within one-half mile, two small boutique food stores on Charles Street, more coffee shops than one could possibly consume coffee (two Starbucks, one DD, a Peets and several excellent indies), a well-stocked drug store with friendly service, and a hardware store (honored with Best in the USA award) with equally cordial service and a multiplicity of supplies. The Back Bay is close by with more than enough places to spend lots of money. Now that you have walked all day, you will be pleased to find a day spa/yoga classes across the street! Still have energy? Go for a run along the Charles River, grab a bike from the convenient bike share location, kayak on the Charles, or in the winter ice skate on the Common. Boston's excellent subway system, the MBTA is affectionately known as the T. In less than a ten-minute leisurely walk you are at the Red Line's MGH/Charles St T station, or through the Public Garden to the Green Line's Arlington St T station, and both the Orange and Blue lines are equally as assessable by foot. In a word: location. The studio is small size, as are most Beacon Hill apartments, but has all the amenities that you need, including for staying in and cooking. The shower measures 30" X 30". One guest, from South America, thought it very small, while the next guest, from NYC, thought it not. Hopefully, for you, it is 'just right.' Because this apartment is dedicated to my personal guests and short-term rentals you will find the closet empty. No need to push over my personal belongings! The kitchenette and bathroom are fully supplied with everything you will need. There is: WiFi; TV with cable; room air conditioner; coffee makers; free lending library; hard wood floors with oriental carpets; photographs and paintings along with other decorations to make you feel at home.

I greatly enjoyed my stay in this unit. The owner was very helpful during my stay and the location was perfect. The only tricky part was that the shower is tiny and there was major construction occurring next door. Nonetheless, the location of the unit enabled me not to be disturbed by the construction at all.

I travelled for a one week work trip The location was great for me but Beacon Hill is is nice place to be regardless. Janet was lovely and very helpful. I was able to checkin much earlier than advertised as Janet was flexible. I travelled to the office each day so I was really just using the room in the evenings.

I really enjoyed my week stay on River St. The room was great, quiet and air-conditioned. The bed was comfortable, fridge handy, and the location could not be beat. I could have spent forever walking a block to the commons, a few minutes to the train, and a touch further for the esplanade. The shower was very small, but fine for a week. The purpose of my travel was business, and coming back to the place after a 12 hour day at a conference was a welcome retreat. I would happily stay here again, great communication with the host also.

The property was great! The only thing I will say is definitely take Ms. Henkel’s advice and pack light. The trip up the stairs was harrowing with even a 35 lb bag. The stairs are very narrow and wonky considering they are spiraled and carpeted, but a very doable daily trip up and down. Other than that, this studio apartment is very nice. There was mild confusion with thinking the upstairs room was ours as well, but I think that was on us. It is only the first door you encounter that is yours. For the price, though, this was a very lovely place in a wonderful neighborhood.

We stayed in Beacon Hill for 5 days in late September and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Janet is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. Her home is lovely and had everything we needed. We were surprised by how quiet it was for a central location and were able to get around all the main Boston sites very easily. Would highly recommend for other visitors to the city.

Everything is just right for this place. Close to subway and Boston common. Almost all other sites are 15 min walk away.
