Whatever Brings You to Boston

A game, a graduation, a hospital, a wedding, a job, a night you did not plan - the same 19 apartments

Boston short term rentals for Red Sox games, hospitals, graduations, concerts & work: 19 whole 1-4BR apartments from $111/nt (20% off direct) & free parking.

19 whole apartments in Dorchester and Hyde Park
Free parking at every door - no garage bill, ever
Up to 10 guests in one booking, or several units in one building

Apartments for every kind of Boston trip

Red Sox games, Gillette Stadium and TD Garden, graduation weekends, concerts and shows, the Freedom Trail, Harvard, Salem in October, weddings, conventions, the Marathon, museums and the aquarium, visiting family, work trips, moving between homes, hospital stays: one whole apartment works for all of them.

Each of those has its own page below, written for that trip. If yours is not on the list, nothing changes: the apartments are the same, the parking is still free, and the calendar on every page is live.

Games, concerts and the big weekends

A Red Sox game at Fenway Park has its own page, with drive times and what parking costs. Gillette Stadium - Patriots, the Revolution, stadium concerts - is about 30 minutes by car, and the car is the point: our parking is free, and so are the stadium's general lots. Concerts at TD Garden, MGM Music Hall and Agganis, Marathon weekend, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, and Salem in October, when Salem itself sold out months ago.

Graduations, campus visits and reunions

Graduation weekend is the hardest weekend of the year to find a room: hotels run $509-$699 a night in May and sell out. A whole apartment sleeps the whole family in one booking. The same goes for a Harvard, MIT, BU or Northeastern visit - a tour, a move-in, a reunion - with a kitchen for the mornings and a driveway for the car.

Hospitals, treatment and looking after someone

Some of our longest stays are the ones nobody wanted to make. Families near Boston Children's, Dana-Farber, Brigham and Mass General stay with us because a hospital-district hotel room, night after night, is neither affordable nor bearable. Boston Medical Center has its own page, and there is a plain guide to where to stay when you come to Boston for treatment, including the charities that house families free - ask them first.

Weddings, family, and the trips you did not plan

A wedding party can take several apartments in the same building and still share one kitchen table. Visiting family in Dorchester, Hyde Park or Mattapan is easier with your own front door. And some trips start today: a cancelled flight, a hotel that fell through, a hospital call. The apartments free tonight are listed live, and you can call or text - you reach the owner, not a desk.

Work, conventions and the gap between two homes

Conventions and trade shows send one traveller or a whole team; an apartment gives each a bedroom and all of them one bill. Work placements and the gap between one lease ending and the next beginning are common here too: stays of any length book online, from one night to several months. The nightly rate falls as the stay gets longer.

Why one apartment instead of two hotel rooms

You get the whole apartment: your own front door, a full kitchen, a washer and dryer in most of them, a living room everyone fits in, and a parking space that costs nothing. Every one is a licensed City of Boston short-term rental. Booking direct on this site carries no booking fee, the price you see is the price you pay, and you can cancel for a full refund any time before check-in. Our apartments are in Dorchester and Hyde Park, a 15-20 minute drive from downtown (25-30 from Hyde Park) - and if you are simply working out where to stay in Boston for the first time, start there.

Apartments that suit this trip

Daryl's place was great! It was in close proximity to the commuter rail into Boston and was the perfect home base for a few girls on a very short weekend trip. Would definitely stay here again!— verified guest review

Common questions

Where exactly are the apartments?
Sixteen are in Dorchester and Hyde Park in Boston; three more are in Dorchester on Glenway and Erie Streets. All are a 15-20 minute drive from downtown (25-30 from Hyde Park), with free parking at the door.
Is there a minimum or maximum stay?
From a single night to several months, and every length books online. The nightly rate drops as the stay gets longer.
Can I cancel?
Yes - a full refund any time before check-in, on every apartment, when you book direct here.
Are these licensed?
Every apartment is a registered City of Boston short-term rental, so you are booking something legitimate rather than an unregistered listing that could vanish.
