This home is more charming and elegant than advertised. Safe neighborhood. Parking on street was easier than expected. Only recommendation is to have full cable access for TV. Ladies wanted to watch Christmas movie. Food tip: Bova’s, north end, Salem Street. 🙂

We loved the condo and the location. We stayed for 5 nights visiting family in the area. We were able to cook breakfasts and gather for games and a movie at nights in the comfortable spaces of the condo. It was very convenient that we were close enough for a quick walk to the train to get everywhere in Boston. Great place to stay!

This is a charming & beautifully restored property in the best location, centrally located to everything the Boston area has to offer! Lovely apartment was equipped w/ everything we needed. The beds were fantastic! VERY SAFE & WALKABLE area to North End. Charlestown is a charming area, not to be missed! Steps from the apt is Warren Tavern, where Paul Revere & George Washington gathered and has great food, drinks & lively nightlife. Right outside the door is Starbucks, 7-11, liquor store, Whole Foods, USPS & more. It is an unbelievably convenient location.
Stairs up to 2nd floor were daunting w/ all our heavy luggage but absolutely worth the haul once we entered the lovely apt. We all look forward to a return visit & would positively stay here again!

Beautiful location, convenient to train (5 min walk), grocery store (across the street) and coffee (Starbucks next door and dunks across the street)
Was a nice location to plan day trips around. We stayed out and about and came back to relax. Cozy apartment, large kitchen, comfy beds and hot water, what else can you ask for?
Communication was great, issue with thermostat was discussed with the owner and didn’t affect our stay. Responses to questions were fast and prompt.
Definitely would recommend and stay again.

We had a group of four stay here for a Fall girls getaway. The property is spacious and beautiful and was very clean. The location is absolutely perfect! We felt incredibly safe walking around the area during the day and night, and it is located right next door to a Starbucks, a two minute walk from a Whole Foods, and a 5 minute walk to the Warren Tavern. I definitely plan to stay here again when I make it back to Boston!

Great place with good location - we walked most places & used Uber a few times. Second floor stairs weren’t a problem for us, but certainly could be for others. The hosts’ were very responsive & helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Dexter Row in Charlestown, MA is a beautiful area. It is quiet with several nice restaurants; we ate at Warren Tavern and Brewers Fork, both excellent places. There's a Starbucks next door, 7-11, liquor store and CVS/Whole Foods across the street. We did the Freedom Trail (stop #16 Bunker monuments is only couple blocks away) over two days... lots of history. The condos on Dexter Row were built mid-1800's with modern updates inside. The place was lovely, perfect for a family. One note, there are many hills and steps are usually steep. We did a lot in 4 days, and we'd definitely stay at 4 Dexter Row (the owners were very nice and helpful) or in this area again! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

I almost don’t want to share how great this property is but I will. It is in a perfect location, the T, a Whole Foods and other conveniences I are just a couple blocks away. There are three coffee chips within about a block. Great food options within blocks. The property is ideal and so well decorated. They don’t cut corners like some places. When we had questions the owners were very quick to respond. Don’t let the Charles River get in the way of staying in Charlestown. It was a very quick subway ride to all the main spots we wanted to visit.

Charming condo with all the comforts of home! Beautifully decorated, spacious and well stocked to meet our every need. Check in was super easy, great neighborhood to walk with restaurants, Whole foods, CVS and Dunkin Donuts a block away. Easy walk to the Orange line and a quick ride to downtown Boston. Loved our stay there and would definitely stay here again!

We felt very safe in the neighborhood. The home had everything we needed. We enjoyed the convenience of local stores and restaurants. The recommendations of restaurants were much appreciated, along with travel guides. We were able to walk almost everywhere. When we didn’t want to walk, we just took the city transit which was very convenient and easy to use. We used a Lyft to and from the airport. It cost $30-$40.

This place was great for a visit to Boston and the surrounding area. Kristen was super responsive, and check in/out was a breeze. The property is not the most centrally located in Boston, but it is a quick bus/train or car ride away to downtown/NE/Back Bay or anywhere else in the city!

We enjoyed our stay in Charlestown! The neighborhood is very cute and we walked most everywhere (Freedom trail, North End). We mostly used Uber/Lyft to go to farther places (airport/Fenway, Back Bay) but did walk to North Station to take the train to Salem (also could have used the Orange line to connect). The kitchen is well-appointed (though we just used it to heat up leftovers) and so is the bathroom. We would love to stay here again if visiting Boston again! Just a few things to be aware of - there is some street noise in the smaller bedroom so we’d recommend using the small fan in the closet for white noise or a sound machine app. Also the unit is on the second floor with quite a few steps for anyone with mobility issues.

This is a darling apartment in an excellent location. Walking distance to Whole Foods, coffee, restaurants, the T, and more. This is a huge apartment that is beautifully decorated…the pictures don’t do it justice. We loved our stay! Would absolutely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to Boston someday.

Leafs Vs Bruins visit from Ontario
Great apartment, clean, well-equipped and sooo convenient to walking into the heart of everything in Boston. We were three Canadians meeting four Boston friends for Leafs vs Bruins at the Garden and shockingly, Toronto won (sorry Boston). Great four days in the city. Note -- we had to shuffle the car a few times but found it easy to secure free parking all within a few steps of the front door. Amazing when you consider it's barely 10 minutes walk to downtown. Wouldn't be possible in Toronto for under $30 or more a day. One very minor point -- there's a cluster of five or so lockboxes on the fence and we ended up trying them all before coding into the correct box. Maybe paint a little spot of red nail polish or something to let guests know which won is theirs? Anyway, thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful Home/Great Location
My husband and I spent 5 nights at this lovely home. It is spacious, nicely furnished, comfortable beds and couches, clean and well equipped. It is in a great location, Whole Foods, CVS and a wine shop are all within a two block radius and we visited Brewers Fork, a restaurant about a 10 minute walk several times. They have delicious food. Easy walking distance into Boston. Communication was great and instructions were easy to follow.

As soon as I opened the door I new it would be terrific. Very well maintained and with everything a guest could need close at hand. Great neighborhood, can walk to grocery, taverns, coffee and the North End. Hosts were quick and easy to communicate with. I look forward to staying here again.

Great area to stay for a first trip to Boston
Super clean, comfy, and charming apartment with everything you need for a get-away. Felt like I was at a friend’s house! Good coffee shops, Thai, and taverns easy walking distance. Had trouble finding parking and had to get up a little earlier in the mornings to move our rental car but that’s the only thing that was less than stellar.
