17 Best Airbnbs in Boston, From a Beacon Hill Townhouse to a Charlestown House Boat
"Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bathTop amenities: Dedicated workspaceNeighborhood: A hip, up-and-coming area that’s only become more accessible thanks to the Green Line’s extension Newly accessible on public transport thanks to the Green Line’s extension, this one-bedroom in Union Square lets you stay in one of Somerville’s best neighborhoods, known for its of-the-moment restaurant and bar scene especially, and boutique artisanal shopping at Bow Market. (Great to stay within walking distance of the elevated Mexican small plates of Barra and the Peruvian dishes at Celeste, given you’ll have just a small kitchenette with microwave and mini-fridge here, rather than a full kitchen.) The decor mixes the modern and traditional—a Saarinen-style dining table set with Windsor-inspired chairs, for instance—and cool gray and white decor soothes the senses. Other perks: This first-floor home in a classic clapboard three-story has a private patio and shares a gym and sauna with the unit above." - Todd Plummer, Andrew Sessa
