Cute historic property in Beacon Hill. Finding the entrance was a little tricky. It looks like an alley but it’s a street. It’s conveniently located near good, stores and activities and the owners were very attentive to questions. It was a great little get away.

Upon arrival the property seemed great. Great location, clean, and well furnished. Problem 1: Bedrooms were at the bottom of a spiral staircase and taking suitcases up and down that staircase was difficult; beyond my wife's capabilities! Problem 2: The TV stations were very limited so on our first night we had to go to a pub to watch the ALCS baseball game. The host suggested going to a pub. Problem 3: On the second day we started having real problems. We were in and out of the property multiple times and we realized on one return the lights in the entry foyer weren't working; we had to use our phone flashlights to be able to see to put the key in the lock. And the overhead light in the room at the bottom of the spiral staircase had quit working. We brushed off these lighting issues until later when serious problems started. Problem 4: At 11:30pm we went to take showers, NO HOT WATER and NO HEAT!! Host was unavailable that late so we went to bed. In the morning of day 3 there was still no hot water and no heat. I set the thermostat at 73° F but the temp. was down to 68°F and the baseboard heaters were cold. Host got back to us and said she had contacted building management. At @ 9am the host contacted me and asked me to open the door for the electric guys who were out front. At 3:30pm there was still no heat nor hot water so we made plans to vacate the property after returning from a scheduled dinner. Host is refusing to compensate us for the lack of these essential amenities

This VRBO truly is in the best location. Walkability is 100. Right by the Bowdoin blue line metro which gives you access to everywhere, but we mainly walked around Beacon Hill, Downtown, and the North End! There is also a Bounce luggage hold area just half a block away if you get in before check-in time, which is so convenient. Would totally stay again!

We had the best 3 night stay here. The property manager was prompt and very helpful. This listing is literally smack dab in the middle of everything. We walked the whole trip, not ever needing an Uber or taxi. I highly recommend!

Love the character of the property and the location cannot be beat. The kitchen had everything we needed for a convenient stay in the city. There are plenty of bars and restaurants surrounding this place. There were 4 of us traveling to Boston for the first time and I don't think we could have picked a better property to book.

Very nice and unique place. Close to the Tip Tap Room for a quick night cap or dinner. Great eateries EVERYWHERE!!!! This was my first Vrbo experience, and my friends joining me were quite satified. Since there is a necessity for organic flushing only, a sitsbath attachment on the toilets would be nice.
