Union Square House

In the middle of Union Square with tons of restaurants, music, bars and farmers market, yet on a small cul de sac with a private and comfy garden oasis. Best of all, steps to the new Train station to take you directly to all Boston has to offer.
We love our location and our home. Quirky yet comfy. Two floors of living with a full kitchen, new rain shower bathroom, and 3 bedrooms and a cozy living room.

Union Square was recently rated as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. Come see what it's all about.

Somerville Union Square

Apartment was great for Union Square. Comfortable and well located with a great new bath. Steep, narrow stairs to 3rd floor bedrooms a small hurdle but our stay was without complaint otherwise. We were happy to find it.

Yates family getaway

Only reason for the 4 star is the two rooms at the top of what seemed like a latter/ stairs very steep. Over all it was clean and a great neighborhood. I would not hesitate to say again.

Convenient Location

We stayed here for a family wedding at Warehouse XI. The house was just around the corner from the wedding, and easy to get to the T station and shops, etc. in Sommerville. Great spot.

Awesome location, lovely home

My family and I were in for a wedding and this turned out to be literally around the corner from the venue. The location was convenient, but also in a lovely part of town. The house itself is a mix of dated construction and modern upgrades. The bathroom, in particular, is quite comfortable. On the flip side, the stairs going up to the top floor bedrooms are very, very steep.

Great trip to Boston!

Property manager was great and helpful! We love that the property came with a parking pass and the location was great. Easy walking access to the T line and all Boston has to offer. The stairs were shallow, but that’s the nature of a house that size and layout. My kids loved their bedrooms.

Great Experience!

The house fit our needs perfectly for our short vacation in Boston. It was close to amenities and the T, which was important for us, since we came carless and wanted to go into the city each morning for sightseeing. There were plenty of good restaurants very close by as well. Thanks to Joe for his hospitality!

Convenient, spacious and well equipped and

Union Square is a great little location with everything you need including a T stop. The free street parking was excellent and everything worked smoothly. The stairs to the top level rooms are steep but with hanging hammock chairs, a climbing wall and space to spare it was all worth it.

Excellent stay

Very clean and comfortable. Great backyard and very convenient to the CVS, Target, farmers market, Warehouse XI wedding venue and more. Communication was great. The bathroom is updated and very nice. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are very very steep—not a problem for our group but be aware if anyone in your group has mobility issues!

Union Square Home

This was a perfect location for our family vacation to Boston! There is a new train station just 3 blocks from the house and we used public transportation the whole trip. Super easy to get in and out of Boston. Union Square (just right around the corner from the house) has plenty of restaurants and markets as well. GREAT PROPERTY!
