Very clean. Great restaurants within walking distance. Lots of natural light with skylights in entry and bedrooms. Stairs are well light at night. Everything is well kept. Kitchen has the basics. Other than Washington street, the neighborhood is quiet. Had everything we need for our short stay.

Julian was such a great host, nothing was too much trouble. Location was convenient to explore Boston and relatively easy to get to. Julian has made this place very much a home from home, so great to get back to and relax in the evenings. Thanks again Julian.

The property is very clean, with tons of very well organized suggestions in 2 prepared booklets/binders for things to do in the Boston area. We had a small issue with the thermostat and the owner took care of it asap. I would definitely recommend staying at this property!

We were in a great place, we had access to anywhere we wanted to visit

The apartment was beautiful and we had everything we needed for a weeks visit. Right outside the was access to the bus stop which allowed us to go everywhere without moving our car. The yard was absolutely beautiful. Couldn’t have gotten a better place. Our vacation was wonderful. Julian was available at all times, if we had needed him. But we didn’t need to bother him for anything. Everything we needed was there and loaded with information about the area and things to do. Our vacation was wonderful. Greg & Julia Watson

Comfortable!

Best for 4 or fewer people. Homey upstairs unit. Some road noise, esp in front bedroom (twin beds). Long steep outdoor stairway - well lit at night. Combined kitchen corner (sink, refrig, range/cooktop) and living room (glass coffee table couches, TV) with no room for nearby table for eating. Table and chairs are by entry door. Toaster oven and microwave,no baking dishes for oven use. Nice deck with table/chairs for eating outdoors. Appreciated recharging plug-ins by bedside. No shoes indoors - nice wood flooring. Our teens played several of the games. Many interesting books!

Took a bit to find the Apartment.

Had a hard time finding this place. Entrance/parking to the apartment is different than where GPS says. Uneven gravel/pavement to the apartment. Steep and many stairs up to the apartment, don’t bring any large suitcases. Once we settled in, was pretty comfy, some road noise in the first bedroom as you enter the apartment.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location. Julian was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Limited ability to prepare meals(which we knew from the listing) but adequate for breakfast. Off street parking was fine and easy to access with Julian’s directions. Would stay there again.

Great time in Boston !

My group of four friends enjoyed our stay in West Roxbury! The apartment was a little off the path, and we weren’t sure we were in the right spot at first, but we found it! The host provided very detailed directions! The apartment was exactly as described, clean, and safe. One honest, additional thought is that we spent most of our time out-and-about. We used the apartment for mornings and evenings only. If you're looking to stay at the VRBO for your whole time in Boston, your experience may not be the same as ours. This VRBO was perfect for what we needed. Five stars.

Cozy, but some guests have problems

1. Nice overall apartment size & space true to description & up to date pictures 2. We were comfortable & the space suited us for our weekend. Priced reasonably 3. I really dislike those stairs- 3 stories on the outside. Caution should be taken for the young, old, and those with height issues. 4. A regular car would have to use extra caution as the alley way is terribly neglected by the town. I am sorry that the homeowners must endure that.

Great alternative to a hotel room!

The apartment is just what my son and I needed for our trip to Boston. I was here to drop him off for college and we needed an easy place to land for a couple of days. As advertised there isn't a kitchen and it's up an outside flight of stairs so keep that in mind as you're planning your trip. The owner was very good about communicating with me as well before and during our stay. It was a good value for the money spent.

Hello Adventurer!

I’m Xholion — a passionate traveler and dedicated host — and I’m honored to be part of the HomeAway (VRBO) community. As someone who frequently stays in vacation rentals around the world, I understand firsthand the importance of finding a place that feels welcoming, clean, and thoughtfully prepared.

As a host, I treat every guest the way I would want to be treated. I put great care into every detail — from fresh, ironed linens to a spotless space and well-stocked essentials — all so you can feel right at home the moment you arrive. Whether you’re visiting for work, a family getaway, or a quiet retreat, my goal is to provide a space that’s warm, functional, and restful.

When I’m not hosting in Boston, I’m often exploring new destinations — and I love connecting with other hosts, learning from their hospitality, and discovering the heart of each place I visit.

Thanks for reading my profile, and thank you for being part of this amazing travel community. I look forward to welcoming you and helping make your stay both smooth and memorable.

Warmly,

Xholion Pelari

Why they chose this property

Located on the scenic edge of Boston, this peaceful West Roxbury neighborhood offers the perfect blend of suburban charm and city accessibility. Nestled along historic Washington Street, the home sits in a quiet, family-friendly community known for its tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and relaxed pace — yet you're just minutes from the heart of the city.

Your stay places you just steps from the Emerald Necklace, a lush, tree-covered parkway that winds its way into downtown Boston, offering scenic walking and biking routes unlike anywhere else in the city. Two private outdoor patios at the property give you front-row seats to the neighborhood’s greenery and golden-hour sunsets — the perfect spot to sip coffee or enjoy a home-cooked meal.

Within walking distance, you’ll find authentic local eats ranging from Latin American and Mediterranean to classic New England fare. A short drive brings you to boutique shopping centers, charming cafés, and all the essentials — including a laundromat, convenience store, and a well-stocked international market right around the corner.

Getting around couldn’t be easier. Public buses (routes 34 & 35) stop directly in front of the home, providing direct access to the Forest Hills T-Station, your connection to Boston’s subway system. Prefer to drive? You’re just 7 minutes from major highways, making this the perfect base for day trips to Cape Cod, Newport, the Berkshires, or even a weekend getaway to Maine or New Hampshire.

Whether you're here to explore Boston's historic landmarks, catch a game at Gillette Stadium, or just unwind in a quiet retreat with city access, this neighborhood offers the best of both worlds — and a true sense of place you'll remember long after you leave.

What makes this property unique

This apartment isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe, relax, and feel truly at home. Surrounded by lush landscaping, mature trees, and a peaceful garden, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and natural beauty right on the edge of the city.

Guests love the abundant sunshine, the soothing sounds of birds in the morning, and the two private outdoor decks, which are perfect year-round — whether you're soaking up the sun in summer or enjoying a warm drink during a crisp Boston winter. The garden comes alive in the warmer months, with blooming flowers, shaded seating, and a welcoming outdoor dining area nestled among greenery.

Inside, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease. With a brand new full kitchen, you’ll have everything you need to cook and dine in. The home includes one bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second bedroom with two single beds, and a spacious living room featuring three twin air mattresses and a large, cozy couch — ideal for groups or families needing flexible sleeping arrangements.

What truly sets this place apart is its cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and well-kept charm. Whether you’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay, you’ll find the apartment stocked with everything you need — and more — for a smooth, restful, and memorable experience.
