A Unique and Memorable Stay at the Renovated Firehouse

We absolutely loved our stay at the renovated firehouse! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful restoration and unique character of the space. The blend of historic charm with modern amenities made it both cozy and functional. High ceilings, original brickwork, and creative design touches gave it an unforgettable atmosphere.The living areas were spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the washer/dryer was appreciated.Location-wise, it was perfect—quiet, yet close to local attractions, restaurants, and shops. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making check-in and check-out smooth and hassle-free.We highly recommend this one-of-a-kind property to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

Pre-Halloween Stay

Very nice, historic property! Plenty of updates and creature comforts for the modern family. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay, with the biggest complaint (and an EXTREMELY small one at that) being the creakiness of the wooden floors. We would absolutely come back and stay again the next time we come to Boston.

The lower level of this two floor apartment actually feels larger than you would expect from the photos. Plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining.

Fun firehouse stay

The unit is very big, but still cozy. It is part of a beautifully restored old firehouse which makes it a unique stay. Easy parking in the driveway. Quiet. Short drive into downtown Boston. We really enjoyed our stay.
