Neighborhood

Beacon Hill is the most picturesque area in Boston. It's a safe neighborhood (John Kerry lives here!) with many good restaurants and cafes around. Seven minutes walk and you'll hit Charles River where you can have a morning run or walk around to enjoy the city. Easy access to all the main tourist sites, schools, and office buildings.

Other Details to Note

The stairs are narrow. Although it hasn't been a problem for me to move my luggage up (and I am small), it can be difficult for some people. The entrance is on a side alley. After you book the room, I'll share a video that guides you to find the house. For the winter period (December to April), I cover electricity bill up to $120/room. If your bill exceeds the budget, you’ll be charged for the difference. $120/person/month is more than enough if you turn down heating when you leave the house. Please be energy conscious when you are in my property.

If you care about location, Beacon Hill is one of the best places to be in! Read my description for all the subway access! The airport is only 15 mins by taxi! Subway (red or blue line) can also easily take you to the house!
