About this Home

Located approximately five miles south of Downtown Boston, this four-bedroom, one-bathroom shared apartment is a perfect home for working professionals moving into the Mattapan neighborhood. At an impressive 1105-square-feet, this second-floor unit comes fully loaded with brilliant hardwood floors, high ceilings, large windows, radiator heating, and spacious rooms. This charming Mattapan apartment also features a front balcony and a fenced-in yard. Three sunlit bedrooms accommodate queen-size beds with enough room left over for nightstands and dressers or desks. The fourth bedroom is large enough for a twin-size bed and dresser. An updated, eat-in kitchen comes equipped with full-size appliances and a large food pantry. The living area is warm and inviting with several windows and plenty of room for a coffee table, chairs, sofa, and TV stand. With good schools, walkable streets, and proximity to well-known landmarks and attractions, Mattapan is one of Boston’s best residential neighborhoods for families. This neighborhood is also home to numerous college students that attend nearby Boston College in Brighton. Mattapan offers a mix of iconic triple-deckers and single-family homes, as well as low-rise apartment buildings. Roughly translated, “a good place to be,” Mattapan today is a diverse neighborhood with Caribbean roots that trace back to the 1980s when large numbers of Haitian immigrants moved to this area. A friendly neighborhood with no shortage of restaurants and shopping, Mattapan Square in Southern Mattapan is the most active commercial district. Here you will find a selection of Caribbean cafes and restaurants, as well as locally-owned supermarkets and boutiques. Hop on the Mattapan Trolley in Mattapan Square and head over to Ashmont station, where you can catch a train to Downtown Boston. Situated on a quiet residential street near the heart of Mattapan, this huge triple-decker provides its tenants a cozy spot to call home. Less than a block from Blue Hill Avenue, one of the busier commercial thoroughfares in this neighborhood, a short walk will get you to nearby restaurants and convenience stores. This apartment includes a large flat-screen TV in the living area, WiFi, and free access to a washer and dryer located in the building. Are you new to the area and in need of furniture? Book a tour to see this apartment before it is gone and ask our knowledgeable agent about having this unit fully furnished.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities! To ensure it, we ask all our new members to complete a background and credit check and electronically sign a residency agreement. You'll need to share your ID and Social Security Number (for those in the US) with us. We'll shoot over the agreement after you book, and we kindly ask you to sign it quickly to guarantee your room. For your credit, we're looking for scores above 550-650, depending on your city and we'll need a clean criminal record too (this doesn't apply to DC). If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the agreement which you need to sign within 24 hours. We do not provide towels, linens, or other similar amenities. Guests are required to bring these items with them. We hope this setup meets your needs for an extended stay, and we look forward to hosting you!

Frequently asked questions for this offer

What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?

All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.

What is a medium-term rent?

The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.

Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.

How can I pay?

On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.

How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
