This 183 square footage room on Boston's Allston is an adorable, superb and cute room in a 4-bedroom apartment which is currently furnished, but it can be unfurnished for an additional fee. About this Home Have a look at this stunningly large and newly renovated third-floor apartment located in the highly sought-after Boston neighborhood of Allston. Situated in a three-story, mixed-used brick building on Harvard Avenue, this 1122-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom unit is an ideal home for a group of college students or professionals that work or attend school in the surrounding area. It features new hardwood floors, high ceilings, large windows, and baseboard heating. A newly remodeled kitchen comes equipped with beautiful countertops and stainless appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher, and microwave. Sizeable, sunlit bedrooms provide ample space for queen-size beds and personal workspaces. Named after the American painter and poet Washington Allston, this neighborhood is one of Boston’s most popular places to live. Due to its proximity to Downtown and nearby attractions, Allston is home to many families, as well as working professionals and college students who don’t mind the commute either by car or public transit. This neighborhood boasts a popular commercial district known as Packard’s Corner at the triangle intersection of Brighton, Commonwealth, and Harvard avenues. Here you will find an assortment of local shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and beauty salons. Often lumped together with the bordering Brighton neighborhood in terms of demographics, this area has a diverse population of over 70,000. The median age in Allston is approximately 27. See a show at the reputable Brighton Music Hall, formerly Harpers Ferry, once known as Boston’s best live music venue, or take a short train ride to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play a baseball game. Located on Harvard Avenue in the Packard’s Corner district, this beautiful apartment puts you in the heart of one of Allston’s busiest commercial areas. Everything you might need is within walking distance. Front the front steps of the building, you are less than 300 feet from Harvard Avenue station for the MBTA Green Line B, which will take you south to Boston College or east into Downtown. This apartment comes equipped with a flat-screen TV, WiFi, and street parking with resident decal. Book a tour today and ask about the option to have rooms fully furnished. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities! To ensure this, we ask all our new members to complete a background and credit check, as well as electronically sign a separate residency agreement. Just a heads up, you'll need to share your ID and Social Security Number (for those in the US) with us. We'll shoot over the agreement right after you book, and we kindly ask you to sign it quickly to guarantee your room. For your credit, we're looking for scores above 550-650, depending on your city and we'll need a clean criminal record too (this doesn't apply to DC). If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the agreement which you need to sign within 24 hours. This property is tailored for long-term stays and is not like a traditional short-term rental. For example, we do not provide towels, linens, or other similar amenities. Guests are required to bring these items with them. We hope this setup meets your needs for an extended stay, and we look forward to hosting you!...

How rent is calculated
Daily basis
This listing’s rent is calculated on a daily basis. For the first and last months of your stay, you’ll only pay for the exact number of days in your rental period — just like a hotel. We call this a Daily contract type. To confirm your rental, you’ll need to pay one month’s rent in full. Any excess rent you pay for the first month will be subtracted from the next month’s rent.
Cancellation policy

Strict cancellation

If you cancel:

  • Within 24 hours of confirmation – Full refund of first month’s rent
  • After 24 hours of confirmation – No refund
