Great location in Boston
This is a fantastic location in Boston. We were able to walk most everywhere. Blackout curtains, coffee, a fan, and a good shower head were highly appreciated. Just a FYI- there is no “breakfast” despite the listing title. Most everything a couple would need for a few days.

Great Vacation
Wonderful location, pleasant accommodations, awesome host. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Southend, we both fell in love with Boston…especially the Red Sox. This rental is conveniently located near the Back Bay Station making it easy to get around town on the train lines. This is the place to stay in Boston!

Great Location, spacious one bedroom apartment
This apartment comfortably slept the four of us--two adults, a teen, and a tween. The building is beautiful on a quiet, tree-lined street in Back Bay. We loved exploring the neighborhood (with recommendations from our great host) as well as easily accessing the local T station, which brought us to all the local sites. We put our car in a local garage and did not need it once over the course of our five-day stay. It is worth noting for those with accessibility issues that there are quite a few steps up to the entrance. Overall, this was a great experience for us!

Charming apartment in great Boston location
We loved the charm of the apartment and everything that the owner supplied to make our stay cozy. The only problem we had was the strong marijuana odor from the neighbors who lit up throughout the day and evening. Unfortunately, there was nothing the owner could do about it.

We had a wonderful time staying at Ingrid's townhome. The townhome was very clean, had plenty of quality amenities, and fun comfortable décor. The walkability was excellent. We never got in a car! Close to so many sites to see in Boston. We hope we get another chance to stay soon!

Just about everything you need
There were 3 of us, so we did use the pull out bed. I recommend you make available a thick mattress cover, maybe one of those egg carton ones. The pull out was not very comfortable but we were able to live with it. The rest of the parlor suite was great. Close enough to walk to several restaurants. Thank you! And thank you Erik for your help with the key that first evening.
