Great place to stay in an awesome location!

We loved staying here. Extremely walkable to either Fenway for a game or downtown. We brought our dog and he loved the stay too! So many small parks around to walk to and the neighborhood had so many places to eat and small shops. So convenient!! Will definitely stay here again when we visit Boston!

Great location Apartment in Boston

The greatest thing about this apartment is its location to attractions in downtown Boston. Everything is a short one mile walk away. I am a walker so this worked out nicely for me and my boyfriend. To reiterate what many people have said in the reviews, the apartment is located in a basement level and the stairs are narrow. This is not a good place to rent for someone with mobility issues. Also, the towels that were provided were a little stained. They appeared clean but could use some bleach. The weirdest thing about the unit was the shower door that did not close all the way. This was only strange in that the toilet paper was in the open space so the water spray from the shower would sometimes hit the toilet paper. It is a small thing though because the rest of the unit was nice and clean. Again, the apartment was a great location!

Our New Favorite in Boston

Santo has a beautiful property. It's got easy access & walkability. Very quaint and has quirky vibe with a back deck and a patio area...the Boston rain prevented us from getting the most out of the outside part, but we will return.Maybe most important, our host was very interested in getting our genuine feedback to make the most for his guests.M.

Can’t beat the location

A small one bedrooom basement of a brownstone in East Boston. Close to so much / and a great neighborhood. Safe. Friendly. Easy walk to everywhere. Amenities are light. Bring your own if staying longer than a night.

We had a wonderful stay in south end! The apartment was clean and well put together. We spent most of our time out of the unit so we cannot speak to the kitchen or living area as we were exploring, but the bed was comfortable and the outdoor living space was very enjoyable with a cup of coffee! The area was quiet and we did not ever bump in to anyone else coming or going. The local area was wonderful and we really enjoyed the Buttery for a quick breakfast and exploring shops nearby! Santo was a lovely host and very communicative when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again! The only thing to be aware of is the stairs to get down to the unit are a little steep but we found that to be a Boston thing but for anyone with bad knees it may be something to think about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Neighborhood & Attentive Host

We were in Boston for 5 nights so that I could run the marathon. The location of the apartment was so convenient. Everything were looking for was .5 miles away. We don't mind walking so there was no need for taxis/uber. There are several great restaurants just around the corner and downtown was an 20 min walk. There was never a time that we didn't feel safe on the nearby streets. There was also bike rentals right around the corner. The apartment itself is an older building. The apartment is in the basement so it can feel a little dark. Some of the doors stick and such. All things you would think of an older building. It had great character and was furnished nicely. If you are looking for five star luxury, this is not it but it was comfortable and had all the necessities. The bed was comfortable. If you are traveling with someone, you would want to know that person pretty well, because there is not a lot of privacy as it is a smaller space. The pictures accurately depict the apartment. The back porch was quaint. We did not use it much because it was a bit chilly. The heating and air worked well. The bathroom is small. Between that and the narrow stairs down to the apartment, I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility challenges. The host was great. We communicated quite a bit in the booking process and had a couple things come up during the trip that needed attention and we was very responsive and helpful. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Loved Our Stay - Great Location

Quick weekend stay to visit our college student. The apartment was exactly as listed: quiet, private, comfortable, clean, and walkable to everything we needed (restaurants, shops, & even Fenway). Loved the private back deck to enjoy the fall weather. Property owner was accommodating and responsive which is much appreciated. I plan to save this rental for future trips! Just a note: it is a basement apartment so there are steps but did not find them unreasonable. If have mobility issues, then reconsider.
