Cozy/warm Near-Commuter rail, Boston, Airport, Casino and More !

Boston Encor- less than 1.5 miles from The Chelsea House!

THE CHELSEA HOUSE is an apartment, on a tiny one-way street, the 3rd floor of a quiet, clean three-family brick building. The unit is very well maintained and recently furnished. Hardwood floors, exposed brick, and slanted loft ceilings creating lots of light, charm, and a warm cozy atmosphere. Free on-site parking upon request.

This is our home away from home and we have now decided to share it with others. Thank you in advance!

Please remember, Chelsea is right outside of Boston, not directly in the city, but very close, less than 10 minutes away by public transportation. All public transportation is 3 - 10 minutes walk.

The Chelsea House is on the third floor, with 24 steps to climb, consider this when booking, especially, if you have large or heavy luggage or any issues with back or walking.

The building was built in 1900. It is very well maintained without losing its charm, but be mindful of the stairs inside are steep and narrow. Always use caution.

The apartment is fully equipped and set up for guests (our personal belongings are put away) everything in it is for your use, during your stay, AC s, Smart TV (no cable but streaming available), High-speed internet, iron and board, shampoo/soaps, toothpaste, microwave. Blowdryer/straightener (in vanity drawer) and free parking!

The kitchen is well stocked and has spices, and is ready to be cooked in. There s an electric fireplace with additional heat for the winter months or just enjoy the fire without the heat in warmer months.

If traveling with children 6 and up there s a variety of toys and a collection of children s books available. There are great parks in the area too. With younger children, there is a portable crib, portable high chair, baby blankets, towels, toys, books and an umbrella stroller, a child booster seat too!

Guests will have full private use of the apartment. There are a coin-operated washer and dryer, in the basement, which is a shared space with the other tenants.

Parking is only available during your stay, please do not park until check-in time at 3 pm and remove the car when you check-out at 11 am. I'm happy to accommodate if you d like to park it earlier or later, if I can but, arrangements must be made beforehand or when making a reservation. Thank you.

There is no interaction with me, but I can be contacted at any time for anything through here. Hands-on help is available if needed.

The building is located 5 minutes away from the airport which is extremely convenient but, keeps in mind there is noise. The planes have different routes but, there will be days where their routes are over us. The apartment is soundproof which helps.

There is only 1 parking spot. Although you can fit a truck in the parking spot, it's easier to fit a sedan size car or smaller, if you don't park well. The parking spot is directly NEXT to the building, NOT ACROSS the building. The 3 parking spaces across the building are for the building across the street. Do not park there, they will tow you.

I put a portable AC in the living room. The vent is out of the sliding door. I did t seal it completely so you can open the door for sea breeze on cooler nights, just be gentle with it. Of course, this and the other AC s will be removed for the cold months starting October. Remember to be mindful and help keep heat and ACs in control, lower hear when you are out, shut off Acs. Always, shut the electric fireplace when not in use.

The city square is very close, sometimes during the summer, they hold summer nights to enjoy. And the local theater puts on plays in the surrounding parks. At CHRISTMAS time there is a tree lighting ceremony. Don t miss it! If you stay in December.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Encore Boston Harbor. Enjoy features like a spa tub. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

  • Free WiFi

Boston excursion
We booked this for our trip to Boston. This was in a great location with a short walk to buses to take to in to the city. The place itself was clean and cozy. Lucia instructions were clear and she was an excellent communicator. I would recommend this place.

Stay @ Chelsea Area Apartment
This apartment had a well equipped kitchen, very clean, and comfy beds. Being close to the bus line made it easy going to downtown Boston. As for the parking space, it was great to have a spot right next to the apartment for my medium size SUV, but any larger and it might not fit. Other than this, our stay was very nice and made our trip to Boston wonderful! Lucia was great with getting back to us quickly with answers to our questions!

Close enough to Boston
This was a nice old, refurbished, apartment in Chelsea. This was just close enough to Boston to do the Boston tourist things without staying in the city proper. With the included parking space we were able to park upon arrival and just use public transpiration. It was great! There was a repair issue that arose during our stay, and as soon as I messaged about it, arrangements were made for the repair to happen. Communication was wonderful! I would gladly stay here again if I ever return to Boston.

Charming unit, wonderful neighbourhood, convenient for public transit
Lucia is a great host, very welcoming, helpful and available. She was able to accommodate both an early checkin and late checkout!! Her unit is charming, an older home with exposed brick, it is comfortable and extremely well-equipped. Beds were comfortable. Many extra homey touches let us know that this is a well-loved space with care for guests. We loved exploring the neighbourhood with great local restaurants, big food store nearby, and a close bus with speedy access to the T.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Chelsea. Lucia has such a well appointed, charming, clean and comfortable property as well as being a great space for all four of us. Lucia was great to communicate with us with information and queries and was such a considerate and welcoming host. We would highly recommend a visit.

Lucia is wonderful host, lovely apartment, very accomodating
Everything as listed, but nicer than in photo. I was staying at the apartment with the teenage children of a friend, and it worked out well for all. Plenty of space. So quick to the airport, and parking included. What is said about the stairs are true, very steep and narrow but we were able to lug our bags up there with minimal difficulties and good railings for those like me who have some knee issues. I did not find it difficult at all. The bus is close by, so we left the car parked and used mass transit everywhere. Overall Chelsea can be a little iffy at night, but we felt very secure at the apartment. Lucia was very prompt at answering and accommodating.

Chelsea house EVERYTIME!
staying here absolutely made me feel like a local. While the short time I stayed here Lucia answered every question or concern in an instant. It’s in the perfect spot for absolutely any sightseeing with anything at most being an half an hour away with traffic! The house and all the amenities are so wonderful it almost makes you want to stay home. I can’t imagine coming to Boston again and not staying here. Thank you for allowing us we will absolutely be back :)

Good Location
Within walking distance to restaurants, stores. Short Uber ride into the city. Owner left a lot of good info on where to eat, and tourist attractions. We didn’t spend much time there, as we were out all day and most nights. Neighbors in the building were quiet. Neighbors across the street, not so much. The beds and towels were clean. Floors and carpets were very dirty.

Cute flat in nice location
Great location across the bridge in Chelsea from Boston. Easy access to MBTA bus and a short walk if you need the train. The neighborhood is predominantly latin so enjoy the Mexican food options! Taxi from the airport was ~$17 plus tip so not bad. Please be aware that stairs are unavoidable in this flat, and they are narrow so mind your step. The building is old, as is expected in Mass. so don't be alarmed where there are uneven floors. Bed was cozy and there was plenty of space. Great little spot!
