    ★ NEW 3BR ★ Upscale Living For Less!! Walk Boston
    Great place…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    The apartment was a great place to stay in. It was super nice and the beds were so comfortable. The place was very clean as well. We had some trouble at first trying to get into the place but the property owners were super nice and helped us out. They responded instantly and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

    Expedia Verified Review…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    Lovely new hotel right in front of the T station. Room was compact, modern, and clean with a nice view (full height window). Limited amenities during the pandemic but there are plenty of local restaurants and cafes in the area (Broadway and South Boston). Downtown Boston, Chinatown, and South End are walking distance.

    Luxury & Comfort BEACHFRONT HOUSE #1 in South Boston
    Great location but you share the house with other tenants…
    4 / 5 Good
    This location is literally a 1 minute walk to the beach! Very cute and clean townhouse. Kevin was very accommodating and let us check in early and have a late check out. Unfortunately I think the below is a major call out that future tenants should be aware of: 1. The listing says nothing about other tenants being in the building, this is a older home so you will hear them upstairs and we had a group of 10 so they heard us. We only found out this when Kevin sent check in information the day before. So if your looking for a home truly all to your self unfortunately I do not recommend. But if your fine with sharing and you have a small group this listing will work great for your stay.
