Apartment vacation rentals in Back Bay, Boston

I felt at home, the host was very kind, respectful and responsive. Great neighborhood, near to the Logan Airport, shopping centers and restaurants. The house is very clean and well arranged. It’s also very peaceful. We had so much fun staying there.

Nice, cozy and clean apartment close to Fenway. Parking garage was super helpful. Really enjoyed my stay. I wish I had stayed longer, hope to be back soon!

This place was a great place to stay for our week visit in Boston. The apartment is very conveniently located to the subway, so getting around was very easy, and it was close to the airport as well. It was also very clean and fit the four of us very comfortably. The walls are thin so it’s a little loud with street noise in the front bedroom, but nothing some ear plugs didn’t fix. The TV didn’t really work, but as we were there to explore it didn’t really matter.

Mikes place was great for our stay while visiting BC! Easy walk to campus, and Cleveland Circle. Everything was clean and organized. It was nice to have parking as well.

I had a wonderful stay in Newton. Pamela was a great host and her place is so convenient to getting into Boston as well as local restaurants.

Great place to stay and Ryan was super responsive and communicative. No problems with a late check in and everything was exactly as we expected. Ryan checked in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking and when one small unexpected issue arose, he took care of it immediately. We were happy to stay there and would book again on our next trip to the Boston area.

Great place, quaint comfortable, comfy bed, very clean and quiet. About a 20-30 min walk to the Salem tourist area so if you don’t have a car, get ready to walk. Cute dive called ‘tin whistle’ right down the street. A couple good convenient stores around… very easy to figure out entrance. Ubers everywhere so if you don’t want to walk, an uber will be easy.

10/10! Patricia is a wonderful host who went above and beyond during our stay. We stayed during the marathon - and it was a great location to get in and out of Boston with a rental car. Free parking right out front and we never had trouble finding a parking space. 5 minute drive to a grocery store (Wegmans), and delicious Italian restaurant close as well! We felt safe and comfortable during our stay. Patricia even helped make our stay special for our kids - so very thoughtful! We will stay here again when we are back in Boston for the race next year!

Great place to stay. Spacious and walkable to Harvard and Cambridge attractions. Maria was very responsive and super helpful.

We had an excellent stay with Aaron in this basement apartment! The location is perfect for those who want to be walkable to Somerville and Cambridge, as it is right on the line of the two neighborhoods. Great local businesses, clean property with everything we needed, and very communicative, friendly and helpful host.

The place was very safe, and I felt right at home. Bathroom was very nice, bedroom was super spacious. Host was very reliable, and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable while staying here. I would stay here again. Good place to be. Easy access to trains to get into Boston. Great concert venues, restaurants, ballgames, and so much more to do. I mean… the neighborhood, the apartment, the price, the privacy, the atmosphere. Hard NOT to enjoy every second of the stay.

Hmmm...where to start? Janet's place was the best Airbnb experience out of all my stays. Her place was clean, spacious, and even better than the pictures depicted. The kitchen was well-appointed and clean, as were the bedrooms and living room. She labeled many areas, which was very helpful! The beds and couch were comfortable and we easily felt at home. It was also nice to have some room in the driveway to avoid searching the street for parking. About Janet: Couldn't have a better host! She was very responsive to messages and treated us with great hospitality and attention. Janet was very helpful and accommodating and offered local advice when asked. If Airbnb had a Super Super Host designation, Janet would earn it, hands down. I would stay at her place again if ever back in Boston. I've already recommended it to others! Thanks for a great stay, Janet. Loved your place!

Kjersti's house was great and quintessential Cambridge. The space was great for the four of us (2 adults, 2 teen kids). Like the other reviews, walking and movement from the upstairs can be heard, so if you're a light sleeper, this may not be the best for you. There are some great cafe (Asaro bakery) and food spots (Gufo) within walking distance. The closest red line (Harvard) and green line (Union Square) T stops are each ~3/4 mile away. It's totally fine if you don't mind walking. Just keep that in mind, especially if weather isn't ideal.

Michelle’s place was beautiful, cozy and felt right at home. It was so easy to check in and had plenty of space. There is also a huge fridge and great amenities. I also appreciated all of the snacks Michelle provided and local suggestions. Would definitely come back!

Such a gem. Isabel's place was very clean and cozy. Location is wonderful..we used the T for the majority of our trip. We also enjoyed the Columbian restaurant on the corner...they had delicious baked goods. We hope to visit Boston again and will book with Isabel.

The airbnb was really nice!! My friends and I were there for a few days and it had so many convenient essentials/amenities like a washer/dryer, a fridge, a tv with streaming platforms, etc. It had everything you could possibly need! And Chris was more than accommodating and answered all of our questions in a reasonable time and he also checked in with us to see how we were doing, would def recommend to anyone who’s trying to go to Boston which is pretty close by!

Very nice apartment with everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The jacuzzi was even in an enclosed tent which was great considering the chilly weather. Comfortable bed, functional kitchen, close to multiple supermarkets and restaurants close by as well. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent house and location! We loved the home!!!

This was a perfect location for a long weekend getaway! Proximity to public transportation makes this place an awesome option for Boston travels, the ocean is absolutely gorgeous! I ran the Boston marathon on my visit and the hot tub was incredible for recovery! The bed is so comfortable and even though we didn’t cook anything, we easily could have! Having a washer and dryer in the unit available meant that I don’t have piles of laundry to do when I get home!

I asked tons of questions to Anthony, but he was answering very kindly, and replying so fast. Also, this place is awesome, quiet and small island town. Ocean view is the most impressive thing in this house! I took a lots of photos 😀😀

Great location in the North End of Boston. Easy walking to lots of restaurants, bakeries and the historic district of Boston. We used it to attend an event at TD Garden and it was an easy walk. Easy access to the subway station in lower TD Garden to go to lots of other places besides the North End. We always felt safe walking in the area.

We loved every second, I won’t stay anywhere else in Boston. The location is fantastic, great restaurants all around. The apartment was spotless had amazing views and we felt right at home! Thanks so much Johna, we’ll be back!

Janaina's home was the perfect place to stay for the Boston Marathon. We were close to the train station, but far enough away from the mayhem of Boston. We avoided crazy traffic and expensive hotels. Plus the kids loved the giant tub which made for a great bubble bath!

Alex was an excellent host, responding to my questions and even gave helpful suggestions regarding places to eat etc. Everything was as advertised and the place was very clean.
