About this apartment rental
IMPORTANT: TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION NEXT DOOR
The property directly next door to Charlestown Gem is currently undergoing renovations, including demolition work. Construction generally begins around 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and may continue throughout the day. Guests may experience intermittent periods of loud banging, sawing, and other construction-related noise.
The duration of this phase of construction has not yet been confirmed. While the work is beyond our control, we want our guests to be fully informed when planning their stay.
Despite the temporary construction next door, Charlestown Gem continues to offer the same beautifully appointed, comfortable accommodations and exceptional location that our guests love. Just steps from the historic Bunker Hill Monument and within easy reach of Boston's most popular attractions, restaurants, and neighborhoods, it's still a wonderful home base for exploring the city.
We've adjusted our rates to reflect the potential inconvenience, allowing guests to enjoy everything Charlestown Gem has to offer at an even better value.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to Charlestown Gem!

The best vacation rental we’ve ever had. The neighborhood was lovely and walkable. Everything was as described and great. Thanks again for the recommendations on local spots to try.

Raquel is probably the BEST host we've ever had and we've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals! Staying in her home is like vacationing in your bestie's rental -- she went above & beyond to make us feel at home. The location was incredible - nestled within treelined streets, around the corner from Bunker Hill... it was so nice for our family of 4 to feel like we had some "breathing room" for a week in Boston, as opposed to staying Downtown. It was a short Lyft ride to all our favorites (15 min to Fenway, etc.). We used Lyft instead of public transit as we didn't have much time to walk to the train and navigate the routes before our morning activities. The grocery delivery add-on was an absolute GAMECHANGER for us... we arrived late from the West Coast and it was a DREAM to have the fridge stocked so we could make breakfast early the next morning. Not having to go out to breakfast each morning also allowed us to spend that money on other things. You're also close to the USS Constitution, the ferry to take you downtown and cute little restaurants too. Raquel was quick to reply to any message, she gave us great recommendations for the area, stocked the house with high-end products (shampoo & conditioner) and the beds were comfy. We also liked that the bedrooms were on opposite ends of the unit so we had some space from our teenagers too. Overall, incredible place to stay, don't hesitate to book it!!
