This place is quaint and located in beautiful Charlestown just down the street from the Bunker Hill Memorial. I enjoyed my stay for the most part aside from a few things.
Cons: the house is very cluttered. There is not much counter space for your belongings as there are knick-knacks everywhere. The bathroom had some short stray hairs and dust. The shower had several loofas that appeared to be left from previous guests. The owner also enters your room daily to leave a clean towel, but also left a note for me asking that I remember to turn the fan off. I didn’t love that she had access to my living space with my belongings daily while I was away. The host will take quite some time upon arrival to show you the ins and outs of the space and give lots of suggestions for your stay. After a long day of travel, I would have rather been left alone for a bit to shower and relax.
Pros: the town is charming. The house, aside from all of the clutter, is beautiful and quaint. There is a wonderful coffee shop around the corner and easy access to the bus and subway station. The host also provides some restaurant coupons and passes for the museums and local attractions. She is very knowledgeable about how to get around and fun things to do. I only wish I had more time during my stay to utilize them. There is also a lovely covered outdoor space to enjoy a book.
This place is a good and affordable option if you are coming to Boston for a leisure visit. I was in town for a conference, and perhaps a more private hotel/apartment/condo would have better suited my needs.
