One thing that stands out to me is that this place is super clean. You would not hesitate to use the bathroom or the kitchen because everything is spotless. The shower works great. The towels are nice and fluffy. The beds are comfortable. They have everything you need. It is in a quiet residential area but only a short walk to the restaurants and shops. It is also very close to the Bunker Hill monument. Raquelle is also easy to work with and is very helpful. Overall, I highly recommend this place and we would stay here again if we ever get a chance to visit Boston again.

I can’t say enough positive things about this place! The location was perfect. The building was quiet. The unit was just what was needed for this trip, plenty of space, and very clean. Parking is limited. The parking garage we used was more expensive than what they say on their information. Street parking near the unit is available on the weekends.Highly recommended!

The kitchen was more than adequately stocked and there were some nice homey touches. Beds were comfy. The overall style of the apartment was pleasing to the eye, in keeping with the historic nature of the building, which sits a stone's throw from the Bunker Hill Monument and National Park. Overall, an interesting neighborhood to explore, and walkable to central Boston.

Beautiful neighborhood! We felt safe and enjoyed our stay. Bunker hill is steps away and there’s a nice walk to downtown along the freedom trail. The T is about 20 minutes away. We got ride shares easily when we wanted a break.

My mother and I absolutely loved our stay at this condo! It was very clean, pretty, and fully stocked with everyday necessities. It's in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and is walkable to a few very good restaurants. It's also close to the Freedom trail. We were even able to walk downtown and the North end. Raquelle was a communicative, attentive and informative host. We really can't say enough good things about our stay, it was great and can't wait to come back!

This turned out to be an excellent choice for our trip to Boston. The home was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all that you might need to fix a simple breakfast or a full dinner. The neighborhood is charming in a location thats easily walkable to all things Boston and Charlestown. Raquelle was a wonderful host offering info about the area if you need it. We took her suggestion about news that the USS Constitution would be going out and we were not disappointed. Boston was bustling and it was so nice to come back to our quiet, comfortable place to relax after dinner. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area.

Raquel is probably the BEST host we've ever had and we've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals! Staying in her home is like vacationing in your bestie's rental -- she went above & beyond to make us feel at home. The location was incredible - nestled within treelined streets, around the corner from Bunker Hill... it was so nice for our family of 4 to feel like we had some "breathing room" for a week in Boston, as opposed to staying Downtown. It was a short Lyft ride to all our favorites (15 min to Fenway, etc.). We used Lyft instead of public transit as we didn't have much time to walk to the train and navigate the routes before our morning activities. The grocery delivery add-on was an absolute GAMECHANGER for us... we arrived late from the West Coast and it was a DREAM to have the fridge stocked so we could make breakfast early the next morning. Not having to go out to breakfast each morning also allowed us to spend that money on other things. You're also close to the USS Constitution, the ferry to take you downtown and cute little restaurants too. Raquel was quick to reply to any message, she gave us great recommendations for the area, stocked the house with high-end products (shampoo & conditioner) and the beds were comfy. We also liked that the bedrooms were on opposite ends of the unit so we had some space from our teenagers too. Overall, incredible place to stay, don't hesitate to book it!!

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review! It means the world to know your family felt at home and enjoyed everything from the neighborhood and layout to the grocery delivery service—it was my pleasure to help make your Boston vacation as relaxing and convenient as possible. I'd love to welcome you back to Charlestown Gem anytime you're in Boston, and if your friends or family are ever planning a trip here, I'd be honored if you kept us in mind.

We have stayed at many rentals around the country and this property truly is a gem. The style and sophistication is special, and the space is impeccably clean. The neighborhood is quiet, quaint, and located down the street from the Bunker Hill Monument. Following the red brick Freedom Trail is an easy way to navigate the historic sites and is walkable from the property. This property worked well for our group of three adults, however just be aware that there is a steep set of stairs leading to the 2nd floor unit. We had no issues, but the owner seemed to be readily available and responsive. Overall we would highly recommend this property.
