Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in North Shore

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The apartment was in excellent condition — clean, modern, and very comfortable. The location was perfect, right between MIT and Harvard, and just a couple of blocks from the Red Line subway, which made it so easy to get to Boston Common and the heart of the city. The amenities were great, and everything we could possibly need was thoughtfully provided and well stocked. The host was responsive, helpful, and made the whole experience seamless. We would definitely consider staying here again for future visits!

I live in western NY state and had come urgently because daughter was in the hospital. Jim was very accommodating, the Airbnb couldn’t have been more perfect for my needs, and it is now my go to for anytime I need to come to Boston for both medical needs and leisure.

Amazing location with free, easy parking. The apartment is steps away from the commuter train to get you into Boston. Mark provided clear and easy instructions for getting into town. The place had everything I needed. Very easy check in and check out. I appreciate that check-out didn't involve jumping through hoops like so many hosts required!

Rafael was very responsive and the place was clean. Only problem was the washing machine was broken for our stay but Rafael was very accommodating and even offered a partial refund for the inconvenience. Very great host!

My husband and I stayed at Mark's place with our two adult children. The space accommodates four adults quite well. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. The place was our home base for a few excursions into Boston. We also enjoyed visiting Moody St in Waltham. It was quiet at night. Parking was very convenient. Nice stay!!

Amazing home, very clean and nicely designed.

Thanhs place was perfect for our weekend trip to Boston. Not too far from downtown Boston. The apartment was clean and extremely comfortable. Would 100% recommend and will definitely stay here again in the future.

Great host, beautiful apartment and great location.

We totally enjoyed our stay in this apartment. - Very convenient location: there are many cafe, restaurant and shops around and Trader Joe (for the days we just want few bites at home). Beautiful surroundings next to the lake, few minutes walk to subway station. - Host is very responsive, fast communication which makes our stay more pleasant. - The apartment is very clean and spacious. Looks exactly like the photos. Feels like cozy home for us. We look forward coming home after sightseeing outside. If we come to Boston again, we will definitely stay in this apartment again. Highly recommended.

Javier is an incredibly kind and attentive host! Easy to reach, and is always accommodating to your needs. His apartment is gorgeous, definitely recommend his place when coming through the area!

The apartment was just as described. Very clean, next to the train station, very well furnished. The hosts were very helpful and responded promptly. It is the second time I rent in this building with Johna as a host, two different apartments, both great. I definitely recommend this property.

Delightful apartment and amazing hosts! Kwaku made our stay a beautiful experience, always super responsive. The apartment is super spacious and excellent if you’re staying even long term. Metro is close by so it’s easy to get downtown. Highly recommended!

Great location! Lots of space. Great kitchen

Perfect place for a 2 week stay. Property is clean and close to Public transport. Have lots of restaurants and close to grocery. Jason is also very responsive with inquiries.

This condo was fantastic. The location is incredibly convenient, just steps away from the commuter rail and centrally located. The place itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything you would need. Mathew was a great host. If you’re looking for a high end dinner experience, I highly recommend checking out the Nightshade Noodle Bar, which is just a short walk away. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

The best place to stay for our weekend in town for the Marathon. Easily accessible to the T to get downtown rather quickly, but also a calm spot to escape the city at the end of the day. The house was so beautiful. The neighborhood was charming. Peter and Tor were incredible host. Communication was quick, instructions were clear, and they really made sure we were prepped for our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Karen was very quick to respond to any of our questions. The house is spacious and clean. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and dining room. I’d recommend this place to anyone staying in the area!

Steve and Rebecca's place is a very cozy and warm little house. We had everything we needed inside for our very first visit to Boston. Each room is very well furnished with comfortable beds and a nice comfy couch to unwind in after walking through the city all day. The house is tucked into a corner on top of a steep hill which gives a very nice and quiet private spot to stay. This is a wonderful spot! I do have to mention a few little quirks that should be noted. The hill could cause some issues for parking for some depending on your vehicle since the spot can be a little tricky getting in or out. I recommend using an uber, which what we did to get around rather then fiddling with the parking. Also, there is a downstairs area that is obviously off limits and is clearly marked as such behind the curtain in the kitchen area. Having a door with a lock for both sides seems like a more comfortable solution for both parties. Otherwise, this is a wonderful find!

Six of us stayed over the weekend. We were very comfortable and Brad was very helpful and responsive. House had everything that we needed. Brad is a great host. Would 100% recommend a stay.

Everything was in order, with very detailed instructions and easy entry/exit. Thank you!

beautiful home great for large quiet family gatherings!

We will definitely be visiting our family again and now are thrilled to know we have a wonderful Airbnb to stay at while visiting. It has all the amenities you might need and more, as well as entertainment, such as games, TV, and children’s outdoor and indoor activities. We will be back to visit before long. This will be our home away from home. Thank you Barry!

This was the PERFECT place for my family’s girls trip to Salem. It was only a 12 minute drive into town. The house is breathtaking!!! The pictures do not do it any justice. Everything is spotless and very welcoming. The private beach is a 3 minute walk up the road. The neighborhood is very peaceful and the neighbors were also very friendly. Tracy was an amazing host!!! 10/10 recommendation.

It was a beautiful home away from home. I will recommend it to anyone.Thanks Joe.
