Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Back Bay, Boston

We had a fantastic stay at Johnny’s place. The house is great - comfortably enough space for a family of 4 and well configured, well-located 5 mins walk from great coffee shops and restaurants in Charlestown and only 20 mins walk from the North End and central Boston. Johnny was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great space and location. Marie was accommodating, lending us her high chair, parking pass, and working with the cleaners to allow us to check in a little early. Would absolutely stay again.

Such a lovely place to stay! Perfect location with beautiful cafes and shops around. The house itself is stunning and well kept with a nice kitchen and bathroom with very nice amenities for you to use. The bedroom is great! The comfiest bed we’ve ever slept on! Carolyn was amazing and such a lovely host - even went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable when she found out I was sick. 11/10 would recommend!!

My husband and I had a lovely couple of nights at Siena's. The room was very clean, well equipped, and quiet. Martin and Siena were very accommodating, brought me an iron and ironing board when we asked. We were in Boston for just a couple of days for a wedding and this was a perfect location for us. We could easily walk to many places such local cafes and coffee shops, (highly recommend Mike's Donuts!) and to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum, as well as to two different T lines, the orange and the green. We took Martin up on his suggestion of walking up the hill to the top of the mission hill park and had a lovely view of Boston Harbour. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting Boston!

Excellent. The place is a rooming house with several bedrooms and two baths. Full kitchen and off street parking, but call ahead to reserve yourself a spot. There was ample street parking when I got there at 6:30. Super clean, comfortable bed in room 3, and surprisingly quiet for being so close to the pike. I will definitely stay here again.

Hospitable host. Made sure breakfast was available every day. The place is beautiful, well decorated. It made me want to stay longer. Donnell is great to talk to, respectful of your privacy, and available if you need anything. I had a great time.

We loved how close the place was to the T. Easy to get into Boston in less than 20 minutes! Great place if you're looking to explore Cambridge and Boston.

Very clean with a zen aesthetic, making for an incredibly peaceful stay. The 3rd floor space is newly renovated in a beautifully maintained classic Boston home. All the amenities you could need and in a great location for us. Easy to park on the street and an easy commute into Boston on public transportation. Xin was super communicative. Highly recommend!

Nice room, exactly as the photos, near Prudential in a calm area.

The apartment is charming, located in a very nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants nearby. On the first floor without elevator access. Slightly noisy at night with the street sound coming up but that didn't stop us from sleeping either. Everything is true to photos and description. We could not really leave our son's stroller at the bottom of the stairs because the building is narrow and it would have bothered the passage but it didn't bother my husband to carry it to the apartment. The bed is quite small as is the bedroom space but we still managed to sleep at 3 with our 3-year-old son. We had a great time in the uptown suite and would love to come back!

This worked really well for my family coming for graduation! Lovely place, easy and clear communication.

Kemi was a wonderful host and this place is superb! Everything exceeded our expectations. It was about a 10-minute walk to the train to get into Boston, which was perfect. And coming in from the rain to a welcoming, cozy home was the best. We hope to stay here whenever we may come to the area again! Thank you so much for the special touches and everything, Kemi!

We were in town for 4 days visiting college with the family. It was centrally located, close to everything, very walkable, great coffee shop on the same block, and a perfect neighborhood. The place itself was perfect. Nicely appointed kitchen, good size bathroom, two queen bed rooms, and a nice desk for me to work at in one of the rooms. The living room was comfortable and we felt like we had plenty of space. I will gladly stay there again next time I’m in Boston. Thank again!!!

This was a great place to stay with easy access to the T.

Stay here! First, location. Right on Beacon in the Back Bay, and a quick walk to Newbury where there are so many restaurants and shops! Uber is always available and quick! Second, the Airbnb itself is just perfect for a Boston visit. Big beautiful bay windows facing gorgeous Beacon street, clean and comfortable and they thought of everything! Raining? Umbrella in the closet. Sleep at home with a fan? Box fan in the closet. Feet cold? Hotel slippers for guests! Just every little thing you need - even snacks and bottled water. The host was in touch on a regular basis checking on our needs and responsive if we reached out. We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you for everything!

Denise's place was in the perfect, safe location to see all the city has to offer but is also tucked away on a quaint little street. Check in was super easy and she was super flexible with check-in and out times if needed. The apartment was stocked well with anything you may need (also loved the snacks and sparkling waters). It was extremely clean and comfortable, just as the pictures depict. Denise was so sweet, the perfect host! Will definitely be booking this place again in the future.

This was such a charming place in a wonderful location. Griffin and Carolyn were responsive and took really good care of us. They are great hosts who we highly recommend and would book with again!

Dan's place is equidistant to Harvard and MIT, a short walk to great restaurants and cafes, and a wonderful base for exploring Cambridge. Would happily stay here again with my family.

This was the perfect location to enjoy the South End, and an easy walk everywhere (Copley, Prudential, Newbury Street). The place was comfortable and had everything we needed especially the fireplace on very cold May days. Leslie was incredibly responsive even on her special celebration weekend!!

This place is an absolute Gem! Great location and Phil was amazing, friendly and so very welcoming. Would stay here again and highly recommended!!! There was 4 of us and it was perfect. The amenities were great. Beautiful home in a fantastic neighborhood.

My wife and I absolutely love this apartment with city view rooftop. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with walking distance to restaurants. It has artistic decorations. Kitchen is clean and well stocked. The classic record player and record collection are fabulous. Listening to 70s, 80s music with morning sunshine from skylight and coffee beautiful. And we had a breakfast on the roof top, you can’t beat the view. And Chandra provided all the institutions and local tips before we arrive. We enjoyed everything in the apartment.

Our stay was wonderful, our hosts were communicative, and I would be more than happy to return. The unit was immaculately cleaned upon our arrival. The living room and kitchen are incredibly spacious - more so than I would have thought from the pictures. The outdoor spaces provide nice fresh air, and everything else is as advertised. But, sometimes, it's the little things that make an AirBnB. I took time each day to recover with a nice sauna. They have the things that hosts normally don't provide but everyone needs - aluminum foil, saran wrap, ziploc baggies, extra blankets, extra towels, and more. The shower that I used was great. Good water pressure. Good HVAC and water temp. Great natural light. Keyless entry, meaning no "who gets the keys" juggling. No ridiculous checkout expectations. So many "good AirBnB" boxes checked. :) The location is great to either explore East Boston (which has its own charm I wasn't aware of) or to get downtown. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Konrad ‘s place is simply unbeatable for the price location and the sheer size and comfort of this loft It’s walkable to almost everywhere. It’s extremely safe. It’s few steps down to Chinatown. And you could easily walk to Newbury Street For me the best part of Konrad ‘s loft was the space. Airy and bright. A wonderful kitchen. Konrad himself was extremely responsive to any queries I had. Don’t think twice this is where you need to stay in Boston. Was super sad to leave.

It was great overall! Nice little area in Boston. Quiet at night and was easy to find with great instruction from the host! We parked in the Clarendon Parking Garage for the night and it was a quick walk.
