Perfect Home-Away-From-Home Amidst The Chaos
We landed in Boston the morning of Friday 4/19 - the day the city shut down to search for the marathon bombers! We talked to Laura at length that morning and she was so helpful in helping in getting our party settled and situated at the rental in East Boston. From letting us know where to get food (since most restaurants were closed) to giving us the # to call a cab (since transit was closed!!), we couldn't have been happier with our lodging accommodations while in Boston. The rest of the weekend was amazing and "normal" - transit reopened and we were able to resume our trip and explore the city! The place was amazing for our needs - 3 couples were very comfortable in the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. And the kitchen and living room came in handy when we were "shut in" on Friday. This place was a true gem and I would highly recommend it to any travelers heading to Boston! Plus - it was less than a $15 cab ride to/from the airport!

Fantastic Harbour view
Spent a great week here in East Boston. The view!!!!!!!!!. You will keep going out on the deck to look at it. Apartment works well. Maverick T is 10mins walk away then 2/3 stops into the city. Some great local restaurants- KO Pies, Italian Pizzeria, Angela's. Excellent communication with the owner who is very helpful. We will be back.

Fabulous views
We stayed here for one week with our family comprising of 2 adults and 4 kids (7-14 years). The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. It is superbly located with a 10 minute walk to Maverick T subway station for access to downtown. The view is wonderful - we found ourselves returning again and again for another look!! The owner was exemplary in communications. If we get the chance to return to the beautiful city of Boston, then we would use this apartment again.

Boston Christmas / New Year 2012
As a family of 5 we have just returned from a fabulous 12 night vocation at this property. We found the apartment to be exactly as we wanted - probably more as it exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious with plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 older teenagers. The views from the balcony and the master bedroom are spectacular both day and night and on New Years Eve there can be no better place to stay and see the fireworks. The apartment is within a 10 minute work to the T and really on one stop from central Boston. There is really no need for a car as we manged to shop at the local super market which was a $10 one way but only a 20 minute walk away. We visited a recommended Italian 1 block away which was fantastic value and great service. We did not see the owner but the instructions and advice given were first class. We would recommend this apartment to almost everyone with the only draw back being the narrow staircase up to the apartment. In our case this added to the adventure and the views from the top are well worth it. We loved Boston as a city and the apartment added so much to our holiday. The Evans Family

Perfect Boston Getaway
Great Brownstone in East Boston. Amazing views of the bay and the city.... night and day. Large outside deck to take it all in!! Spacious 3 bedrooms upstairs and open floor plan down...perfect for family or friends to be together. Fun neighborhood with parks and funky little restaurants. Laura simplified the entire rental process and provided lots of "welcome to Boston" info. We will definitely stay again...hopefully soon!!

Boys Golf Trip
Great house, great view. We had a great time at this place, very easy to get to and from the airport and even the parking on the street was easy. We had day trips for golfing at nearby courses and found access to the freeway easy as well. Took subway to BoSox game too, and a simple 10 minute walk to the subway station. Apt is located on 3rd floor so walking up the stairs can be a little hectic, but overall we were completely satisfied.

Disappointed
The description should include a clear picture of how many stairs have to be climbed before getting to the unit. You actually had to go up 2 full flights of stairs from the main door. We figured from the street, it was approximately 50 feet to get to the bedrooms. Also the staircase to the bedrooms is missing a banister, which could prove to be dangerous. In regard to security, we were not able to lock the door to the deck nor the window to the bathroom, which was in close proximity to another unit. You had to be "gentle" in opening the main door, flushing a toilet and turning on water in full bathroom. Overall, we believe this unit which has a fantastic view and is close to public transportation, needs some loving care.

Great Stay!
Very cool accomodations with a great view of downtown and harbor! I kept being drawn outside to the deck. Place is a little quirky but it was part of the fun of staying in a 1847 building. I would definitely stay there again. Owner was very accomodating and professional, neighborhood was very safe and had what we needed to stock up the refridgerator within two blocks. The T was less than 10 minutes away. Owner provided information on Boston attractions and area restaurants was very helpful. We were in the downtown business district within 17 minutes. The T is the way to travel for a no worry vacation. I found the Bostonians as the most friendly and helpful people I ever encountered in 30 years of vacationing. I highly recommend Boston and this Bowfront in particular!

awesome trip!
We stayed in the apartment in boston for a week as a party of 5! When trying to book the apartment I was having trouble getting confirmation for my holidays but Laura was great and was extremley helpful and always answered emails and gave loads of tips about boston and where to find things!
The apartment itsself is really lovely! plenty of room for a big party of people, nice and clean and the views from the decking are amazing! We had an amazing week in boston! nice touches such as basket of fruit and clear instructions on how to get keys are a bonus! Laura is great and was contactable by email or phone the entire stay!
The apartment is on the top floor and has internal stairs - might not be suitable if you aren't keen on stairs or are a bit unsteady on your feet! For us, the view was worth it!
The neighbourhood was very quiet and safe to walk about at night! Good to see "real" Boston and not just the tourist areas! The T stop was a 10min walk from the apartment and for $15 you can get a weeks pass for the T and use it as much as you want! excellent value!
Was a real pleasure dealing with laura and staying in the apartment! to be totally recommended! thanks laura!

A Great Place to Plop
My two brothers and myself had never taken a "boys only" trip in our adulthood. I have been to Boston many times so I decided to take the guys northward.
Laura is an incredible hostess that left us wanting for nothing. A fruit basket greeted us, along with plush towels, soft beds and one amazing view. I am a bit particular when it comes to travel and I was at ease the entire time (from when I booked reservations with her in November all the way through the end of our trip in May). Her communications with me were timely and with quick attention. Her instructions on how to engage the property were articulate and to-the-point.
This apartment was just what we needed: three bedrooms with great space. You'll love the shower pressure and the shower head.
You'll love dusk and sunrise and the private deck.
Don't be dissuaded because this apartment is not in Boston proper.
Chances are, if you stayed in the city, you'd be on the T anyway. From this apartment on Jeffries Point, you are three stops away from the bustle of Government Center. A Dunkin Donuts was there to meet us at the Maverick Station to start our daily adventure and convenience stores were readily available to lay in supplies at the end of the day.
Your search ends here.
The boys and I had a blast and Laura/this apartment were a large part of our experience.
