Holiday staycationers + hosts — with December right around the corner, we’d like a moment of your time to remind you of one the great inventions of the last century: Airbnb.
Whether you’ll be welcoming back family or need a little rest + relaxation of your own, we’ve found some local Airbnbs with availability around the holiday. Here what’s colorful, walkable, historic, affordable, or buoyant (hint: that one’s a houseboat) around Boston.
Just a heads up: Prices may vary depending on dates selected and extra taxes + booking, and cleaning fees may be tacked on at the end. (Sorry, Airbnb makes the rules — we just follow them.)
