Beautiful studio in historic neighborhood of Boston. Super close to downtown!

Lovely studio apartment in large Victorian-era house. With private entrance, newly renovated bathroom and kitchenette. Located very conveniently in the Dudley/Nubian Square neighborhood of Boston. Next to the South End, Boston Medical District and Jamaica Plain. Very close to everything the city has to offer, as well as public transit. With high ceilings, bay windows, hardwood floors, unique original details, and a porch with sofa to relax on. looks out onto a verdant yard. Also has a lush backyard garden and nearby parks include Franklin Park, part of the renowned Emerald Necklace of green space Boston is famous for! Cozily accommodates up to 4 people, with a queen-size bed and trundle-style full pull-out bed. Family friendly. Free on-street parking.

The private studio space you will be staying in has a newly renovated kitchenette with two- eye electric stovetop, vent, handcrafted butcher block countertop, deep sink, mini fridge, toaster oven and coffee/ tea station. Please note, there is not a microwave or full size oven. The bathroom is also newly updated with beautiful tile and a hand-cut stone bench in the shower. There is a dining area with table and chairs adjacent to the kitchenette area, and basic cooking necessities provided along with dishes and cleaning supplies and toiletries, etc.

The studio has a very comfortable queen size bed with pillow-top mattress topper and various pillows. There is also a comfy full size bed (on wheels) available that easily pulls out from underneath the foot of the queen bed., trundle-bed style The beds are framed by beautiful "stained glass" windows that allow light in, and also serve as a wonderful privacy screen. There are curtains in the windows that if pulled close do well to block the light out, when desired. The space feels very cozy when both beds are in use, and it is probably best to tuck the second bed away during the day for ease of passage through the space. This space is most ideal for one or two people, though can cozily accommodate up to 4 people, who do not mind being in close proximity to each other. A great space for a family with kids. We do also have a portable infant bassinet and toddler high chair available for use upon request.

There is a desk workspace in the studio, with electric outlet nearby, as well as a fully functional piano with bench, for those who wish to play! The entrance to the space opens to a covered porch with a sofa that guests are free to relax on, it looks out onto a rare green space next door, and our own verdant front yard garden.

There is a side driveway leading to the porch entrance, which is on the side of the house, that offers some privacy from the street, where there is plentiful free-on street parking available! This street is in a lovely historic part of the city, designated an "official Historic District" with many beautiful old homes to admire! We are very close to many great food spots, coffee shops, parks, interesting street art, as well as a large newly renovated library, main bus station, an outdoor zoo, and Franklin Park, a gorgeous sprawling green space connected to the larger Emerald Necklace.
We are within walking distance from Nubian Square, where you can find bus access to all over the city as well as a community blue-bike port and many happenings, restaurants, a great brewery, and two grocery stores. We are also less than 15 minutes drive from most points in the city, with extremely easy access to the Medical District and The South End as well as Jamaica Plain. This is an unbeatable location if you want to have access to all things downtown Boston has to offer, and stay in a fairly quiet neighborhood.

Great place to stay outside of Downtown Boston
The Roxbury location was great for us while visiting the greater Boston area. We could go into the city or take trips around the area without having to fight some of the crazier Boston traffic. The property is clean and inviting, with a small kitchenette. The only downside to this property is that it could use a TV. When you are away from home and come back in the evening to your place to stay, it is nice to be able to put on a movie to relax. Other than that, great location and excellent hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

A place to rest and relax
I stayed recently while my daughter attended college orientation. The studio had a generous amount of space and worked really well for what I needed. I was hoping to walk from the studio but with the humid weather ended up using rides shares quite a bit. I used the kitchenette for coffee and snacking and it worked great.

Perfect home base for Boston
Cute and calm studio, just perfect for two of us (bed + pull-out bed) to relax in the mornings and evenings, exploring Boston and surroundings during the days.

A cozy room in a well-maintained older home. Excellent shower and very clean all-around. The bed is comfortable and the additional trundle bed is nice but quite firm. It’s about a twenty minute walk to downtown Boston. Was cautioned by locals that it isn’t very safe to wander Roxbury neighbourhood after dark, but we had no issues. Owners were responsive, welcoming and they respected our privacy. Thank you!

Cool Boston bolthole
Takara and Will have put a lot of effort into making this place comfortable and stylish in a low key slightly boho sort of way. It’s spacious with lots of nice touches (thanks for the yoga mat) and it really is as nice as the photos suggest. A self contained flat on the downstairs of a large property containing the owners upstairs and tenants in another part of house. Had great chats with both Will and Takara who had great tips for things to do in the area and Boston more generally. Roxbury is the historic part of Boston with Victorian era buildings and lots of character and interesting cafes and restaurants reflecting the dynamic and diverse demographic. Some might find it a little rough around the edges, but it is undeniably an ‘emerging’ district and on the up. Not far from downtown, though nearest T station is a bus ride away. Uber and Lyft good options too. I loved it.

The apartment is beautiful, very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Big plus are also the good public transfer connections. We (couple and small child) really enjoyed staying there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and provided us with lots of recommendations. The area might not have the best reputation, but we felt comfortable and save at all times!
