About this property

Union Square House

In the middle of Union Square with tons of restaurants, music, bars and farmers market, yet on a small cul de sac with a private and comfy garden oasis. Best of all, steps to the new Train station to take you directly to all Boston has to offer.
We love our location and our home. Quirky yet comfy. Two floors of living with a full kitchen, new rain shower bathroom, and 3 bedrooms and a cozy living room.

Union Square was recently rated as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. Come see what it's all about.

Sommerville classic home

A bright cozy kitchen and beautifully updated bathroom made this home very comfortable for our stay in Boston. Its steep stairs and creaky floors give it the right amount of charm. We walked to the green line, flower shop, outdoor market, bakery and restaurants. Thank you for sharing your home.

Awesome!

This was a family trip to Boston, all of us except my wife for the first time. We had a packed trip and this property was perfectly located in a great neighborhood, with about a 5 minute walk to the T. This was our primary transportation, so that was really nice. The property was clean and well maintained, with a separate room for my wife and I, a friend that was with us, and our 3 children. Joe, the owner, was very quick to respond to questions and was above and beyond accommodating. We highly recommend this property.

Somerville Union Square

Apartment was great for Union Square. Comfortable and well located with a great new bath. Steep, narrow stairs to 3rd floor bedrooms a small hurdle but our stay was without complaint otherwise. We were happy to find it.

Yates family getaway

Only reason for the 4 star is the two rooms at the top of what seemed like a latter/ stairs very steep. Over all it was clean and a great neighborhood. I would not hesitate to say again.
