Yes, it is the same Daryl

If you found us on Airbnb, you were looking at these apartments: the same 19 units, the same photos, the same owner. On Airbnb I am a Superhost with 1,795 reviews at 4.92 over four years; the newest 485 of those reviews are copied word for word on this site, city and month included, the 5s and the 3s alike. The host card on every apartment page is Airbnb's own numbers, quoted. Nothing about the apartment changes when you book here - only who you are dealing with, which is me.

What is different when you book direct

No service fee. Airbnb charges guests a booking fee on top of the nightly rate; here the price you see is the price you pay. Free cancellation: a full refund any time before check-in, on every apartment, without a tier to decode. From one night, up to 27 nights online and longer by phone. A person on the phone: you reach me, not a call centre, before and during your stay - (617) 799-4558. And a code: BOOKDIRECT takes 20% off.

Why our Airbnb listings say 29 nights minimum

If you tried to book one of these apartments on Airbnb for a weekend and it would not let you, that is why. Every one of these apartments is a registered City of Boston short-term rental, but a registration mix-up between the city and Airbnb left our Airbnb listings restricted to stays of 29 nights or more. Rather than spend months fighting it, we built this site. Here the calendar is live, the minimum is one night, and the licence number is on every page.

How to check it is really us

The phone number here, (617) 799-4558, is the one in every Airbnb message I have ever sent. The reviews page quotes Airbnb reviews by name and month - open Airbnb's profile and compare. Payment is taken through Hospitable's booking system, the same one thousands of hosts use, on a secure checkout, and your confirmation and door code arrive the same way an Airbnb booking's would. Every address is a licensed City of Boston short-term rental, registration STR-629372.

Pick an apartment, or see what is free tonight

All 19 apartments are on one page, each with its own live calendar, and the tonight page shows which are free right now. If you know the reason you are coming - a game, a graduation, a hospital, a wedding - there is a page for it.

Common questions

Is it cheaper to book direct than on Airbnb?
Yes. The nightly rate here carries no guest service fee, and the code BOOKDIRECT takes a further 20% off. Airbnb adds its own fee to every guest booking.
Is booking direct safe?
Payment goes through Hospitable's secure checkout, the booking system used by thousands of professional hosts; you get a written confirmation, and your door code before arrival. Every apartment is a licensed City of Boston short-term rental. And you can cancel for a full refund any time before check-in.
Why does Airbnb show a 29-night minimum on these apartments?
A registration mix-up between the City of Boston and Airbnb restricted our Airbnb listings to 29 nights or more. The apartments themselves are fully licensed; here they book from a single night.
Can I still message you before booking?
Yes - every apartment page has a message button, and you can call or text (617) 799-4558. You reach Daryl, the owner.
