The location was so perfect for us! It was our first time visiting Boston and wanted to stay in a brownstone close to Fenway! It was only a 15 min- we went to all three baseball games for opening weekend. The place was so beautiful & the deck on top had amazing views. We had everything we needed!

The apartment was the perfect base to explore the city, lovely shops, restaurants and homes all around.. Underground station very close by. Attention to detail in the apartment was excellent, linens, crockery, everything you could need. The roof terrace was an absolute delight, special views and we barbecued, which was such fun. Sue was the most attentive hostess, nothing was too much trouble . Loved our visit.

The penthouse was the perfect home for us while we explored Boston for a few days. The location is fantastic, we walked everywhere. The home is spacious and perfectly appointed with very comfortable bedding, a cozy living roome to watch TV with cable and all channels available. The kitchen had everything, but with so many amazing dining options within a few blocks, we didn't eat in much. This is by far the best vaction rental in Boston. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Alexander

Host profile image
Hello fellow VRBO members!

I have been renting properties for over 25 years, as a landlord in Boston and also with a Cape Cod vacation home. We purchased the Boston Penthouse 6 years ago and did a top to bottom gut renovation and added a large private roof deck which has the most amazing panoramic city views! We couldn't be more pleased with the results (and so are our guests)!

I promise you I am extremely accommodating to all of my guests. I make sure everything is perfect on arrival and I am accessible whenever needed.

I am enjoying meeting new and interesting people from around the world and making sure I provide the highest quality experience possible for all of my guests.

Thank you for taking the time to view my listings and hope to hear from you!

Warmest regards

Sue and David

Why they chose this property

The potential with this property was what drew me to it, so we bought the whole building 26 years ago. We had a dream of renovating the penthouse specifically to make it a beautiful modern open layout and add a large private roof deck. I realized this would be a fantastic short term rental property and, since we also live in the building, the idea became a reality and so far every guest has fallen in love with it!

What makes this property unique

Everything in the penthouse is open, airy, clean, modern and clutter free. Kitchen and both baths have high end finishes and you have the quintessential city views from each bedroom and views of the Southwest corridor from the open living room/kitchen with beautiful gigantic trees. The crown jewel is the roof deck with sweeping panoramic views of the city...just spectacular! and the location is so convenient, you can literally access everything Boston has to offer with no need for a car!
