About this property

Historic Charlestown

1 bedroom private apartment available in early 1800's classic Colonial building in the Charlestown section of Boston. First floor with private deck, shared courtyard, cable/WIFI, hardwood floors, grill. Professional, quiet, 3 unit building, owner occupied. Centrally located in the most historic and highly sought after Charlestown location, walk to the Bunker Hill Monument in 5 minutes. Easy walk to the North End, waterfront, downtown and Old Ironsides all within 15 minutes. Located within minutes walk to local shops, restaurants, the Freedom Trail, parks and some of the oldest sights in the United States. Boston is a walking city! Walk to the Public Garden, Marathon route, Commons in ~30 minutes. The Freedom Trail is a mere 5 minute walk from the property. Tourist destinations such as Quincy Market and Fanueil Hall are a 15-20 minute walk. Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill are 25-30 minute walk and Fenway Park is 35-45 minute walk passing by all the aforementioned stops along the way. A peaceful and quiet location perfectly located to access the downtown buzz and sights. On the bus route, and 10 minute walk to the subway connecting you to all Boston and Cambridge have to offer. Quiet hours are 10pm-8am. If you are looking for a party spot, please look elsewhere. This unit is the owners apartment and will likely have personal affects within the unit, clothing, etc... (put away). New queen memory foam , Casper bed, utensils, towels, soaps, etc... Parking is resident only M-F 8pm-8am. There are visitor parking spots available as well as local garages. Almost all of Boston is resident parking only and/or metered. New front gate. ALSO - I have a furnished third floor unit available randomly throughout the year for longer stays 1+ month. Inquire if interested in more details.

Great place & host
My brother and I had a fantastic stay here. We parked the car right outside across the street. Didn’t move it for 3 days. We walked and caught the Uber to downtown and Newbury street. The place itself is cozy and welcoming. Everything you need is there… didn’t need to purchase any house essentials. Check in and check out were super easy. Jeff contacted us as we arrived and as we were leaving…. Making sure everything was ok. Just great communication! Will def stay here again. Thanks Jeff. 😊

Great weekend near Bunker Hill
Great place. Loved the location in Charlestown and near Bunker Hill. We took nice walks to the North End with our dog. One suggestion: some drawer space to unpack would be nice. I don’t like feeling like I'm living out of my suitcase, even if we're there for only a weekend. But overall, a great place.
