The Alcove King Bed + 2 Queen Pullouts

THE ALCOVE | LUXURY 1BR + DEN | SLEEPS 6

A one-bedroom that lives like a two. The Alcove is a true 1BR + den in a brand-new building on Boston's Allston-Brighton innovation corridor, sized for one or two people settling in for a while, with room for family or colleagues when they visit. A king bed in the bedroom. A den with a proper desk and a queen Murphy bed behind a door that closes. A queen sofa bed in the living room. Sleeps six, comfortably, without anyone on the floor.

Harvard's Allston campus is a walk down the same street. A full-size grocery store is across it. The bus at the door runs straight to the Red Line. And the building gives you two roof decks with skyline views, a media room, a residents lounge, and your own washer and dryer.

Most one-bedrooms make you choose between sleeping well and working well. This one has a den, so you don't.

Settling in for a month or more? Housekeeping can be scheduled during your stay, and we're happy to talk through anything that makes a longer stay easier.

ARRIVAL IS SIMPLE

Check-in is contactless. Before you arrive you'll get your door code, directions, parking details, and everything else you need in one message. Every guest in your party can have their own code, active for the dates of your stay. No key handoff, no lockbox, no one to meet.

PARKING

Garage parking isn't bundled with this apartment. If you're arriving with a car, message us and we'll tell you what's available in the building and nearby for your dates.

PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED BY PLATINUM STAYS

The Alcove is operated by Platinum Stays, a Boston-based corporate and medical housing company. It's furnished, stocked, inspected, and cleaned to the same standard as every home in our portfolio, and it's managed by a real team you can reach. We check in once shortly after you've settled to make sure everything is right, then we stay out of your way. If anything comes up, from a light bulb to a neighborhood question, message us; we respond throughout the day, usually within the hour.

SECURITY

A doorbell camera at the front door covers the entry and the shared hallway immediately outside the unit. Audio recording is disabled. There are no cameras or recording devices of any kind inside the apartment.
