Beacon Hill is the most Historic neighborhood in Massachusetts. Colonial era, Boston brownstones, cobblestone streets, and the gas lanterns, will transport you to the 1800's. Our place is not a modern construction at all, and it does not have a hotel feel at all, it is our home amazingly located among it all. Although the street (Ridgeway Lane) is quiet, the brownstone building is located in an old/historic and elegant neighborhood (Beacon Hill) - our condo is located in a brownstone building dating from the 1800's - street gas lamps, but also old piping; expect some routine/sporadic home noises/sounds every now ant then. Old charming building and home.
Public transportation surrounds us, centrally located among all major public transportation systems, including South Station and North Station. Blue, Green Red and Orange Line are all walking distance from the unit.
Access to a small courtyard. This is a very quiet street and quiet building. Please note that to get to the bedrooms you need to go down the spiral staircase.
This place is non smoking, no pets.
With the kitchen and the living room and a half bathroom on the first floor (entrance level) and the bedrooms located below. Guests with mobility issues will not be able to go up and down the spiral stairs to the bedrooms located downstairs.

I am available if you need me. Happy to recommend places to eat and places that make Boston famous!

Great apartment & location

This is a fantastic place. Quirky, clean and comfortable in an unbeatable location. The spiral stairs are steep and narrow so not for those with mobility issues. The plumbing does make noise but as Brits we all are used to old buildings with interesting sounds so no issue for us. We would definitely stay here again. Good clear instructions from owner.

Great location in Beacon Hill

Everything was just as described - great location, cozy, well furnished, lots of room for our party of 4. The knocking/tapping noise from the pipes was loud and kept us up at night, so we had to buy ear plugs - but other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

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.

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!

The location for city exploration is excellent. Keep in mind that this is a small apartment with realistic limitations in an older building.

Great location and only 1 or 2 blocks from three different subway stations.

Nice layout inside the house. Spiral staircase is tight but adds a bit of quirky fun to the stay. House is very centrally located and worked great for us to go to the aquarium, Fenway, Ferry rides, Quincy market and was easy for us to get to north station so that we could spend time in Salem and Gloucester. As other reviews mentioned the full bath is in desperate need for updates but that alone wouldn't let me leave anything less than 5 stars.

Great location in Boston

Stayed here for several days with two kids (11, 14) and two adults. Plenty of space and of course an amazing location. Walking distance to our freedom trail tour, historic sites and conveniences like Whole Foods and the train stations. (Adults shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit the Tip Tap room - great selection of beer and gourmet menu!) The spiral stairs leading down to the bedrooms are a bit tricky and might be hard to manage depending on your age and condition. You can not flush toilet paper, so that is something to be aware of. Would stay here again.
