Modes of Conveyance

We kindly advise against renting a car during your stay in Boston. The historic streets can be confusing to navigate, parking is scarce and expensive, and the city's excellent public transit and walkability make a car unnecessary. —Your Humble Hosts

From the airport, you can take:

  • Taxi or rideshare: approximately $25-35 to downtown

  • Hampshire House: Arlington (Green Line)
