Vacation rentals with breakfast in Dorchester, Boston

I can’t thank Marilyn enough for her warm and welcoming hospitality, whether it’s my first visit or the hundredth. She is incredibly thoughtful, always making sure I feel comfortable—whether I want a quiet moment or an engaging conversation. I absolutely love her intelligent and witty chats. My daughters are also big fans of Marilyn and Lili!

Thanks good host

Karen’s home truly is cozy. We were here two weeks before Christmas and it was decorated and beautiful. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, nice big fluffy towels and I loved the shower! We have stayed in several,places in the Boston area and this is one of the best. Even my dogs loved it!

Let me start with this: THESE HOSTS MAKE THEIR OWN MAPLE SYRUP. As if that weren’t enough, they were warm and welcoming, making me comfortable in their home from moment one. The space was cozy and exactly what I needed—and walking distance from beautiful wooded conservation land. And Deborah’s breakfast—and conversation—were truly a delicious, sweet, and savory way to start the day. I hope to be back!

Carol made us feel right at home. Her home is comfortable, lived in and filled with whimsical touches that inspire smiles. We would happily return!

Absolutely loved staying here for a whole week and would be back if I find myself in the Boston area once more. It was my first time visiting the city and my first time traveling solo and Robin made it so comfortable and welcoming, her home is beautiful and it felt very private and serene even with multiple guests in the home. She has the dining room set up to be very functional for the self serve station and breakfast options. The room what exactly what I needed and it felt like it was my own little studio, with a staircase that I only used to get up to the room, and a private bathroom with beautiful views of the ocean behind the house. The whole house is very charming and filled with character, and location was awesome, very walkable around the Savin hill area where I felt very safe walking by myself even at night, proximity to walking by the beach and to the T line for affordable transportation, about 10 minutes, easy to navigate. Robin was super responsive and helpful. Thank you!

Great location! Beautiful neighborhood. Close to downtown JP. Thank you Sophie!

Jennifers place is beautiful! I've been to salem a bunch and the ives inn is by far my favorite place I've stayed. Jennifer was great w recommendations, and she was super responsive. the two times I needed help she was literally there in like 2 minutes! Also the house is super close to everything you want to see or do in salem. if I could give this place 100 stars I would!

Great bright modern space for both working and relaxation - within easy reach of essentials. Hosts were very communicative and helpful.

Rhona’s place was in a great location with places nearby and not too far from all of the places we wanted to go. Her home was as described in the pictures and description. For two people it was fairly comfortable, but we weren’t able to get very comfortable in the living room as furniture was too small for us to hang out. There was also no outlet in one of the bedroom, but we were able to find an extension cord that reached the other bedroom. Besides that, the place was great for us to come and go. The owner made our reservation special by providing a gift for my friend’a birthday and breakfast which was very thoughtful!

Extremely clean, inexpensive option in Boston. Parking can be difficult but I was able to find some on the same street or one street over each of the nights I stayed. Park, Target, and various restaurants nearby made it easy as a place to do remote work from and take breaks and get food.

The place was as described and clean. Qing was very nice in allowing me to check-in sooner than the check-in time and waited to check me in. She was opened to receiving messages if anything was needed. I would stay at Qing's place again.

Amazing and beautiful space. Lavette was very helpful. We also had the opportunity to meet Tony who got us in the place and he was so kind. We would come back again!

Kevin put together an amazing stay for my colleagues and I. I will say it was one of the best homes I’ve stayed in. Kevin is very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend staying at his home.

By far Patrick is the best Airbnb host I’ve had in years. Incredibly responsive, so so sweet, and the other guest in the house are great people as well!

I had my bachelorette weekend at Zahra’s place and we had the most amazing time. The apartment is decorated so beautifully and thoughtfully, and they really add so many details that add to the vibe. On our first night, we wanted to make cookies and the oven started smoking due to grease leftover by previous guests. Zahra was so quick to respond and super understanding despite it causing the fire alarms to go on after quiet hours. They made sure to come check on it the next day to clean and prep the oven for us so we could still cook all weekend. I highly recommend this apartment!! Only thing is they are not kidding when they say the floors are creaky and quiet hours starts at 10pm on the weekend and they have an upstairs rental unit as well so keep that in mind if you’re planning on any celebrations.

The host sends very clear instructions on how to get into the property, and unlocking the main door was easy with the electronic keypad. The bedroom is located on the second floor, so if you’re carrying heavy luggage that might be a small hassle. The room is exactly like the main photo. The bed is comfy with very tall pillows. The bathroom is small, but with modern amenities, so for a short stay it’s totally fine. We picked this place for its proximity with the airport, which it didn’t disappoint. What surprised us is that we found a nice diner to have breakfast walking distance from the property.

The house is by the lake in a quiet and comfortable residential area. If you don't have a car, it takes about a 10-minute walk to reach the nearest bus stop to get to downtown. The room is very clean and cozy, and the bed is especially comfortable. The only thing to note is that the curtains don’t block out much light, so a sleep mask would be helpful. The host, Thomas, is super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend :)

The location was very convenient, easy to find, and walkable. The room and bathroom were very clean. Connie was a great host: she is so nice, was very responsive to inquiries, is a great conversationalist, and gave great local restaurant/cafe suggestions. Would 100% recommend this AirBnB to anyone looking to stay in the Cambridge/Harvard area.

This was a great stay for our week-long trip to Boston. It had everything you’d need if you’re just looking for a place to sleep, and the host was very kind and always helpful. ~10 minute walk to the red line (Quincy Center) and ~35 min train ride into downtown

Peter and his wife were amazing. They could not have done more to make our stay so very nice. It is an older home tastefully renovated and so very welcoming. The only thing that I feel compelled to say, is that the owners live on the second floor and they use the same staircase as you and may stop to chat. We loved it but that may not be for everyone.

Hope was a great host to us! She greeted us at the door and made us feel truly at home. She was such a pleasure to talk to and she gave us great insight into the area and recommendations for our time in Salem. Her place was super cozy and unique. I would absolutely recommend for any one traveling to Salem to stay with hope!

Joan’s room was exactly what I was looking for! Quiet, tidy, and walkable. Providing breakfast was a lovely bonus.

Roger Michael’s place is exactly is described. The host is proactive. Instructions are clear. Everything is spotless and welcoming. Close to everything and walkable. Stay at this property.
