About the Stay

Toro’s Place located beside historic African American church New Bedford

What Makes Toro's Place Unique in New Bedford

Toro's Place is a comfortable, clean, and character-rich homestay located in downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts. The apartment is set within a historic rectory building attached to one of the oldest African American churches in the city, placing guests in a location that is both culturally meaningful and exceptionally convenient.

Toro's Place is not a generic short-term rental. It stands apart from other stays in New Bedford for its rare combination of history, location, accessibility, and value.

  • Attached to a historic church with documented local connections to the Underground Railroad era and Rev. William Jackson
  • Located in a historic downtown district, not a residential suburb
  • New MBTA Commuter Rail station within walking distance, offering direct regional access
  • A historic space fully renovated in 2024, preserving character while ensuring comfort
  • Surrounded by excellent local food, cafés, and waterfront dining
  • Positioned as an affordable alternative to Cape Cod and premium waterfront hotels
  • Interior walls feature New Bedford photography, reinforcing a strong sense of place
  • The website and landing pages intentionally showcase New Bedford imagery, not stock visuals

This combination makes Toro’s Place especially appealing to travelers who value authenticity over generic luxury.

"Very nice place! The host is such a kind person. My parents and I originally booked 2 days, but because we had such a good experience, we extended for one more day. The room is very clean and quiet. We would definitely come back here again!"
