Vacation rentals with breakfast in Downtown, Boston

Felt like being at home!

Connie’s place was a dream. I loved everything about it: the space, the comfort, the quiet, the location. And Connie herself is wonderful. I could t have imagined a better place to stay for my first time in Cambridge.

The house was very clean and organized. Additional seating in the living room would be nice and kings beds instead of queen size beds would be better. They left snacks and bottle water for us to have which was appreciated, but we found open gallons of beverages and open food packages in the refrigerator. We also questioned the sign in the kitchen stating no cooking allowed. Honestly, that’s why we stay at Airbnb’s Overall, our stay was comfortable.

This place was ideal for a cheaper spot. We only had two days to see Boston so it worked out great as it was easy to get in to the city. Felt like a really safe, quiet spot. Christie was really lovely and super helpful as well!

Absolutely perfect stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and quiet. Would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience!

Second time staying here. Our favorite place out of all the homes we’ve stayed at. Super clean, comfy beds, and huge kitchen. Karen is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely will be back.

Hospitable host. Made sure breakfast was available every day. The place is beautiful, well decorated. It made me want to stay longer. Donnell is great to talk to, respectful of your privacy, and available if you need anything. I had a great time.

Carol’s place was lovely! We enjoyed the beautiful lakeside view and quiet mornings! We would definitely stay there again!!!!!

This was the cutest place! We all loved the garden space. The deck was very inviting. Rhona was kind enough to leave English muffins and butter for us. The selection of tea was fabulous! The bouquet and house plants made it feel very homey. There was an area close by that had a convenience store, a Dunkin Donuts, and a few decent restaurants. We would stay here again if we come back.

This place was amazing. I would come back here. I feel like we won the Airbnb lottery. It is nice to have a host that is a real person and not a company. This place is well taken care of. 1. It was much larger than I was expecting. 2. It was so clean. Probably the cleanest Airbnb I have been to. 3. There were basics in the cabinets like coffee and creamer ( such a nice touch). and some items in the fridge and freezer which made it really easy to start our day. 4. It was beautifully decorated and the garden was so pretty and nice to take coffee and wine out there. 5. We were here in the spring and it was an easy walk into town(15-20 minutes). We both like walking, but there was a spot for a car if needed. Thank you for such a wonderful time.!!

My family recently stayed for an extended weekend to attend a wedding. This Airbnb was a gem! Kim is a super responsive host, communicative, and checking in often on anything we may need/let us know recommendations, in addition to preparing welcome snacks/refreshments & breakfast items. My family was traveling also with young kids/toddlers and Kim made sure even our youngest felt the most welcome with toys and toddler conveniences. Great location if you are heading into Boston/Cambridge, Logan airport or to the North Shore. Easily walkable to the beach with great sunrise and sunset views. Would recommend staying here again & longer for our next stay!

Big comfortable bed was waiting after your trips round Boston. There was everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Simone was especially helpful with arranging parking for my hire car. Would definitely recommend.

I loved staying here—every little detail was so stylish and cozy, like something out of a magazine. Spotlessly clean, a kitchen that had everything we needed, and the beds? So comfy I didn’t want to get up! Kreemo was the BEST—super quick to reply and just really nice. It’s just a short walk to Lynn Beach, perfect for a stroll or just soaking in the ocean vibes. 100% booking this again next time!

Lavette put a lot of care into making sure her place was very welcoming and thought of lots of little things many bnb hosts do not. Neighborhood was quiet and the bed was as comfy. The kitchen had the basics like oil/spices/cookware which was nice. The towel warmer felt especially luxurious! As others mention, make sure you read the additional rules as there are a handful in addition to the bnb regulars you expect. If you are bringing a guest they will need to make an airbnb account and verify their identity if they have not already, which is not something we’ve been asked in the past, just as a heads up. Overall a lovely place to stay

David & Jenny’s place was exactly as described. We felt welcomed there and their communication was top notch! We had an enjoyable stay and recommend them as hosts!

I used to live in the Boston area, and know what neighborhoods work well when I come back to visit. Watertown is one of them, with the 71 bus to Harvard Square, express bus to downtown Boston, and very nice surroundings reachable by bicycle (Blue Bikes) : Watertown, Belmont, Newton etc. --- so Patrick's location is great. The BnB itself works seamlessly, with Patrick upstairs and two other guests on the ground floor with me. A cleaner comes to tidy. All is provided. Patrick is always reachable. Arrival is easy with a code. Overall, exactly like a B and B is expected to work. Patrick also has full apartment available on the top floor that I would love to use when coming with others.

Absolutely loved my stay and the home was full of so much character and charm! Most of all, I enjoyed our chats. I hope to be back soon!

We absolutely adored the Rajah Room. It was a beautiful space to stay for our one night in Salem and we would definitely book again in the future!

The place was cozy and comfortable. I slept soundly in the very “comfie” bed. I appreciated the ability to come and go as I pleased without any time restrictions as I was visiting family and would come in very late at night. Most of the weekend stay, I had the house to myself. Even when in the house with everyone present, I still felt free to move about the house and that really made a difference. The bathroom/restroom is small but fully equipped with everything I needed and the shower was perfect (water pressure, heat, etc). From the beginning and throughout the entire stay, Rob would say in his messages “welcome home” and truly, that’s what I felt for the entire trip and experience. I highly suggest staying here. They are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything to make someone feel like their space is your space. For that, I’m so grateful.

We were just in for a quick evening but everything was communicated very appropriately.

What a wonderful experience! I rented the smaller room with the single bed. The room and linens were clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. I slept very well, it is a quiet street on a cul-de-sac, no street traffic. Newton is a beautiful suburb of Boston, Myra's is about 6 miles from downtown Boston, I believe. It is 2 mins by car, very walkable, from the Boston College Newton Campus. It is about 10 mins by car from the Boston College Chstnut Hill Campus. The bathroom is shared with the other rented room, very clean with everything you need provided and a nice strong, hot shower. The guest rooms and bathroom are up one flight of stairs. Now, the best part - Myra! She is the best host I have ever stayed with! I instantly felt so comfortable with her and chatted incessantly, lol. She made awesome breakfasts, too, so yummy. Overall, just such a wonderful stay, highly recommend!

Great value in Boston! Ben and Jane were delightful hosts - eager to share their knowledge of the area. Breakfast was tasty and timed to our request each morning and the house was a beautiful, restful place to spend a few nights. Will be lucky to stay with them again if we are in town!

A+. This place is why I come to Airbnb: unique, immersive, and full of character. I stayed in the Witches Dorm, and it felt like part of the adventure, not just a place to sleep. The decor was rich and authentic, and the common room was so cozy I spent hours writing and reading there. The 2 twin beds were comfy (even for a 6'1" guest.) Hope, the host, is fascinating and has some amazing stories, but also totally respects your space. She keeps the common area well-stocked with snacks, coffee, and drinks, which made mornings and late nights easy. Uber was always available and affordable (~$6–10), making it easy to get around if you don’t feel like walking the scenic 25–30 mins to downtown. The walk downtown can be super varied tho—walking along the coastline one day, thru a park the next, and a myriad of ways down tiny New England streets w cute houses all about the same travel time. My first time in Salem. Felt safe at all hours. Would absolutely stay at this property again. A+

Sad to be leaving. First morning I was awoken by the sounds of birds chitchatting and a warm inviting glow peeking through the windows. Open the French door and listen to the gentle rustling of leaves, the cool breeze flowing in. I could do this for longer. But it’s time to go back to reality. Thank you Joan for hosting. Your place is wonderful.
