Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Back Bay, Boston

We loved our stay at this property. The house is much more historic and lived in, if you are after a pristine and modern stay, this might not be the place for you. But the house more than made up for it in character and cozy vibes, and it fit in perfectly in the charming historic neighborhood in Marblehead. The area has a lot of wonderful spots you can walk to, and the host provided historical information about the area and the house as well! We were so grateful for John’s proactive communication, we didn’t have any issues but I’m confident if we had he would have quickly resolved them! Overall my family had a wonderful weekend and we spent the drive home saying home much we’d love to make another trip in the summer to enjoy the ocean more!! Thanks John for a memorable weekend!

The home was as advertised. Safe and walkable area and very easy access to the T. Venus was very responsive and helpful with questions we had before our stay. We really enjoyed!

My groups stayed at Trang’s home for 2 night and our stay was perfect. The home was exactly as pictured in the listing and was very clean and spacious. Check-in instructions were straight forward and easy to understand. Would definitely stay again in the future if we ever find ourselves in the area.

This place is worth every penny. Squeaky clean & comfy living space in a peaceful neighborhood. You are a 4 minute drive to great coffee shops, restaurants/bars, stores... Without traffic you’re an easy 20-25 minute drive to Downtown Boston. Ken & Amy’s place allowed us a perfect combination of local and city experiences. As hosts, they are as responsive and accommodating as any we’ve booked with; available anytime to help with anything which we appreciate! We truly felt at home here and will definitely look to book this place again for our next trip to Boston!!

We stayed here for the Boston Marathon and really enjoyed our stay! Very clean and comfortable. Marybeth and Steve were very accommodating and helpful. I did want to mention how we navigated the marathon if helpful! I dropped our runner off at the Endicott station in the morning (5 min drive from the house) which goes directly to the Back Bay Station near gear drop/the busses. For watching, we drove to the Wellesley Hills station around 745am before the roads closed. There is a great coffee shop attached (with clean bathrooms!) right on the course. This is mile 11-ish. You could easily watch from there but we took the commuter rail from Wellesley Hills to Aburndale Station. The course is about a 10 min walk from the station. Once we saw our runner, we took the commuter rail from Aburndale to Back Bay which is around the corner from the finish / the family meeting spot. I hope this helps!

Karen’s home truly is cozy. We were here two weeks before Christmas and it was decorated and beautiful. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, nice big fluffy towels and I loved the shower! We have stayed in several,places in the Boston area and this is one of the best. Even my dogs loved it!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Eric's comfortable AirBnB Victorian home in Medford, Massachusetts, and I can't recommend it enough. The location is unbeatable—a mere 15-minute drive to downtown Boston, a short stroll to Medford’s own downtown, and just a brief drive away from Somerville. With several supermarkets within close proximity, everything you need is right at your fingertips. This property isn’t your typical modern-style rooftop accommodation; it exudes an incredible sense of character and history. Every corner of the home has a character—immaculately clean, exceptionally safe, and wonderfully spacious, providing an inviting and comfortable environment that truly felt like home. Eric has proven himself to be an outstanding host, always responsive to any questions or requirements I had. His attentiveness and warm hospitality enhanced the entire experience, making my stay both enjoyable and stress-free. Without a doubt, I will be back for my next show in Boston

First time trip to Salem with my family as our spring break destination. Darryl's place was exactly as presented online and the perfect spot for walking into town and stops back at the home in between activities. Communication was great and we had zero issues during our visit. My husband and I have different walking disabilities but were able to go back and forth with mostly ease so the place's location would be perfect for just about anyone that doesn't want to drive all over and enjoy the sites. The street was so quite and you barely heard any neighbors the entire time. Definitely would recommend to anyone that is looking for a very clean, safe environment with lots of amenities and close proximity to downtown Salem.

Great place great stay

Everything was as listed and very responsive and great host. The property was in a very nice and in a great town. We enjoyed our time there.

Maxine anticipated every possible need and so much more available. She went beyond any host I have ever stayed with and I travel quite often. I highly recommend Maxine's place

We had a great stay, the location was great and quiet! It was easy to walk to the bus and parking on the street was also plentiful. The space was very comfortable and exactly as described! Our host was very proactive and made sure we had everything we needed.

This has to be the neatest little place on Airbnb in the Boston area, and that's something to be said. Paige and Dara described the place and the experience perfectly, were a dream to communicate with, and were overall humorous hosts. Their in-house shop was very entertaining for us. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Host was great at communicating and making sure our needs were met. The apartment was extremely clean and well equipped. Location is excellent for a family with children. Everything you need is close by and the train stop was literally down stairs. Excellent experience all around.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights and felt right at home. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and respond very quickly. The instructions they left couldn’t be more clear. We definitely recommend and cannot wait to stay here another time in the future!

We had a wonderful stay. Perfect place for families with children. So close to the beach with all the beach and home necessities you need while on vacation! Quaint town that was quiet but still has plenty of restaurants to visit. Overall, a great place!

Such a perfect place. Super soft towels, comfy bed, perfect little kitchen w everything we needed. Gave us great ideas for things to do during our stay and even tips to avoid the traffic coming into town. Would recommend!!

Needed a good home base while in town for the marathon. Easy to use the bus to connect to the redline and get everywhere I had to go! Balcony was beautiful and neighborhood felt quiet and safe!

Wonderful stay! Shirley was a responsive and kind host and we enjoyed staying here for three nights over the Boston Marathon weekend. Squeaky floors may make it tough to make a midnight trip to the kitchen or bathroom unnoticed, but everything else was perfect. Would stay here again.

My two adult children and I stayed here with our two dogs while my wife was having surgery in Boston. The location was great. Car ride to the Longwood medical area was about 25 minutes. The neighborhood consists of single family homes on small lots, not at all fancy but entirely safe as far as we could tell. We were just a few short blocks from a school playing field where leashed dogs were welcome, and other dog-walkers were often on the street in the morning and evening. The house is a bit quirky. There is no seating in the kitchen, but the dining area is very spacious although located down a short hallway from the kitchen. Each of the three bedrooms was more than ample and very quiet at night. We slept well. As we stayed more than a week we were grateful that laundry facilities were present in the basement. Roosevelt was an excellent host and quick to respond to my requests. I would definitely stay in his place again should a similar situation arise.

We had a wonderful time in Somerset. Linda’s place is amazingly clean. Had everything we needed. Loved the view! I would stay here again.

My family and I stayed at Adam’s house for a wedding we had over a weekend and we felt right at home! Adam had given very thorough instructions upon entering his home and had clearly laid out what to expect during our stay. His home was beautiful with great decor and was spotless! He also gave us great recommendations on food/activities that are around the area, and since we were visiting Medford for the first time this was super helpful! We also brought our two family dogs who felt right at home as well; they especially enjoyed the backyard! Would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you again, Adam!

Accommodations were exactly as described. Lower level of a duplex with a young family upstairs. Host was very responsive and helpful. Kitchen was well equipped. Back deck was really peaceful and quiet.

it was a lovely home. thank you for hosting us.
