Nine apartments, two buildings, one street
9 whole 2-3BR furnished apartments in Hyde Park, Boston from $111/nt (20% off direct): free driveway parking, full kitchens, sleeps 4-7 & $0 Airbnb fees.
Hyde Park is the southernmost neighbourhood of the City of Boston, zip code 02136. It is a full Boston neighbourhood, not a separate town and not a suburb - you are inside the city line, paying city rates, with a Boston address.
It is worth saying plainly because search engines confuse it constantly. Type "Ellis Street Boston" into a map and you are often sent to Dorchester, 02121, which is a different neighbourhood five miles north. If you are coming to us, the address is 17 or 19 Ellis Street, Hyde Park, Boston, MA 02136. Put the zip in your sat-nav and it will take you to the right door.
What Hyde Park gives you is space. The houses have driveways and yards, the streets are quiet at night, and an apartment here is larger than the same money buys closer in.
This is the part that surprises people. Hyde Park is on the commuter rail, and our guests walk to it.
Rishith, who stayed at 19 Ellis in July, put it better than we would: "Clean place within walking distance of the commuter rail with easy access to the station."
The station is Hyde Park Station, on Pingree Street. From Ellis Street it is a 14-minute walk, about 0.6 of a mile, and Google calls the route mostly flat - so it is a walk with a suitcase, not a hike. Providence/Stoughton Line trains run from there straight into South Station in about 20 minutes, which puts you in the financial district, on the Red Line and a short walk from the waterfront. Not every train stops at Hyde Park, so check the schedule for your day.
Fairmount and Readville stations are also within reach if a particular train suits you better - 23 and 26 minutes on foot respectively.
That matters because it removes the usual trade-off. Normally you either stay downtown and pay for a garage, or stay out and drive in and pay for a garage anyway. Here you can leave the car in the driveway all week and take the train.
If you are driving, it is roughly 25 to 30 minutes into downtown outside rush hour, and 30 to 40 minutes to Logan Airport.
Both buildings sit on Ellis Street, a few doors apart. That is unusual and it is the reason larger groups end up here: when one apartment is not big enough, the next one is not across the city, it is next door.
Every apartment is the whole apartment - your own front door, your own kitchen, your own bathroom. None of them is a room in someone's house.
| Building | Apartments | Sleeps in total |
|---|---|---|
| 19 Ellis Street | 5 | 29 |
| 17 Ellis Street | 4 | 25 |
There is a driveway and you park in it. No visitor permit, no resident sticker, no app, no garage, no circling the block at eleven at night.
Angus, who stayed at 19 Ellis in June: "The parking at the rear was a real bonus."
This is worth putting a number on, because it is the single largest hidden cost of staying in central Boston. A downtown garage runs a meaningful sum per night on top of the room, every night, and a hotel that advertises parking usually means paid parking. Over a week that is a real line on the bill, and here it is simply not on it.
It is also why people with a car and a reason to drive - a golf trip, a college tour, a stadium weekend - tend to end up out here rather than downtown.
Golf, first, because it is the one people do not expect. George Wright Golf Course is in Hyde Park - a municipal Donald Ross course, and one of the best public courses in the city. Ryan, who stayed at 17 Ellis in June: "Location was perfect for golfing outside the city while still being able to easily access downtown."
College tours. Tre' stayed at 17 Ellis for exactly that and described it as "10 minutes from the college, and a good, less-pricey option in the area for a quick stay."
Gillette Stadium, roughly 30 minutes, because Hyde Park is already on the south side of the city with a clean run down - our Gillette guide has the detail.
Visiting family. A great many Boston families live in Hyde Park, Mattapan and Milton. If yours does, you are minutes away with your own front door - more on that here.
If your trip is two nights and everything you want to see is on the Freedom Trail, stay downtown. You will spend your time travelling, and a hotel room you can walk out of into Faneuil Hall is the better answer. We would rather tell you that now than have you find out on the first morning.
Hyde Park earns its place on longer stays, on stays with a car, and on stays with enough people that a hotel would mean two or three rooms. On a one-night sightseeing trip for two, it does not.
If you want to be closer in, our Dorchester apartments are 15 to 20 minutes from downtown and a few minutes' walk from the train - see our Dorchester apartments.
Very clean and well maintained place, host was responsive and helpful with questions. Location was perfect for golfing outside the city while still being able to easily access downtown.— verified guest review
Our nine Hyde Park apartments are at 17 and 19 Ellis Street, Hyde Park, Boston, MA 02136, a few doors apart. Each is a whole apartment sleeping 4 to 7, with free parking in the driveway - no visitor permit, no garage, no daily rate.
Hyde Park Station on Pingree Street is a 14-minute walk from Ellis Street, about 0.6 of a mile and mostly flat. Providence/Stoughton Line trains run from there to South Station in about 20 minutes.
Both buildings sit on Ellis Street, so when one apartment is not big enough the next one is next door, not across the city. Every apartment has its own front door, kitchen and bathroom.
Longer stays, stays with a car and stays with enough people that a hotel would mean two or three rooms. George Wright Golf Course is in Hyde Park, Gillette Stadium is roughly 30 minutes away, and downtown Boston is 25 to 30 minutes by car outside rush hour.
Legacy Place in Dedham, with its shops, restaurants and cinema, is about 4 miles from our Ellis Street apartments, around 15 minutes by car, and Dedham Mall is closer still, about 10 minutes. The car parks free at the apartment when you get back.
Nine whole apartments on Ellis Street, booked direct: no service fee, free driveway parking, full kitchens, and a 14-minute walk to the commuter rail, about 20 minutes from there to South Station.
