Welcome to our little gem in one of the most wonderful neighborhoods in Boston called Bay Village. Tree lined streets with brick sidewalks, traditional brownstones and superb architecture sum up Bay Village. When you walk out the door of the condo - you are just steps away from Back Bay, the South End, the Boston Common and the theatre district. You are within a short walk of dozens of the best bars and restaurants the city has to offer! PLEASE READ HOUSE MANUAL BEFORE BOOKING.

The space
(PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING) Our place is a 2 bedroom duplex in a wonderful historic brownstone building. Downstairs, which is street level, you’ll find a comfortable living room, dining area and kitchen, and half bath. Up the spiral staircase you’ll find a large master bedroom, guest bedroom, full bath, and access to a wonderful outdoor space. Some guests have noted if you have a large suitcase it is hard to get up the spiral staircase, but most guests are fine with it. We also have a *small* private parking spot for a compact car - if your car is under 72” wide and you are slow and careful, it will fit.

Note - AirBnb is a home sharing system. Not a hotel. If it’s bothersome that there are a few personal items in the closet - please rent another condo. There are plenty of areas in the house to hang up clothes, etc..

Also - this is an old building. The kitchen is cold during the winter. The rest of the home has brand new mini splits and baseboards.

Finally - please accurately list the # of people that will be sharing the home. Due to some recent issues with unapproved gatherings - we have installed security cameras outside the unit and monitor the # of guests coming and going. We are very down to earth people - if you want to have a friend or couple friends over for a glass of wine, no problem! If you plan to have a party at hour house - you'll be greeted by the Boston PD.

COVID - there will be no refunds for any Covid related cancellations after 1/1/2021. You are traveling and booking at your own risk.

Guest access
The only amenities that are off limits are the fireplaces.

Also, please note that there is a steep spiral staircase to get up to the second floor, - 95+ percent of our guests have been fine with it, but need to note.

Other things to note
This is NOT a party house - this is one of our HOMES, we love this home and building - and want our guests to treat it as we do. It will be sparkling clean when you arrive and appreciate it when it’s left similarly. We have had a couple of guests recently who did not follow any of the house rules - so unfortunately we have had to become much more strict. SEE HOUSE MANUAL.

From the host

The Bay Village is the smallest officially recognized neighborhood in Boston. It sits right at the end of the Back Bay and right before the South End. It’s a quiet neighborhood literally nestled right in the middle of downtown Boston!

My work: Acquia, OpenSpan
Lives in Boston, Massachusetts
I'm what I'd call a young professional - although growing older every day. I'm married to a great woman and we've got an incredibly cute little daughter. I'm pretty much a work-o-holic. I love my job -- I’m President of a cool company called project44. I would classify myself as a "driver." My favorite three words: "Sense of Urgency." I am skewed toward the "right brain" way of thinking. I'm passionate. I work beyond my boiling point at whatever task I'm setting out to achieve. I'm an anxious person. I'm a maverick. I'm a multi-tasker (the guy with two phones in hand, the PDA spitting e-mails and three lines on hold), sometimes to the point where my loved ones think I have ADD. I hate to lose, and rarely do. I love to exercise. I have terrible directional sense and it frustrates my friends and wife - so they just offer to drive now :-) I'm extremely dedicated to my family, relationships, profession and hobbies. Loyalty is something my Father taught me - and it will be forever ingrained in me.
