We stayed for four nights, two adults and two kids 8 and 12. Overall I'm happy with this rental and would recommend if you're a certain type of person/family. More on that in the cons. I was a little nervous when booking as I couldn't really tell how great the neighborhood was or the ease of public transit with the listing. But it was a nice place to stay! The pros: great location for the T, a five min walk to the D line; nice neighborhood - felt safe and part of the neighborhood which is partly why I do rentals and not hotels; the instructions for check in/out were pretty straightforward; we paid for parking and had a guaranteed spot behind the building; the unit is 90% remodeled and was just as the listing showed; we had fantastic weather and were able to open the windows which was amazing, however I have no reviews for heat/AC; there were adequate kitchen supplies for our morning meals and evening snacks; the bedding was so cozy and there were plenty of towels. Cons: you just can't be larger people and rent this unit - if you're a tall person or a large person you are NOT going to be able to shut the bathroom door plus the apt overall is small; there are a decent amount of stairs - not an issue for us but could be for some; the building is charming but old - it smells old, the stairwells and laundry are fine but dark/damp, the building just it's quarks and if this isn't your thing... The bathroom hasn't been truly updated but it's clean and functions.

Great location, extremely clean, easy to communicate with manager. Perfect stay for us to visit our daughter who lives nearby and to visit nearby tourist sites. The parking is a huge advantage, only $15 a night. The only negative point was the mattress on the bed -- probably a little old and needs replacement. Note that there is no elevator in the building, which was fine for us but if you have mobility issues would be a problem with your suitcase. Thanks to Kama and her team!

The VRBO we rented was not as depicted in the photos. Dirty, run down, stained comforters and shower curtain. We booked for four adults with a bedroom and a pullout couch. The pullout was small and dirty with no room to pull it out. The major and most concerning problem was there was Black Mold covering the bathroom ceiling and in both air conditioners. My daughters could not even stay there because of health concerns. Unfortunately we had no choice but to stay due to graduations all over Boston and no availability elsewhere. We are working with the management for a refund and so far they have been responsive to my complaints. This unit is located in a nice area and could be a nice stay if fixed up. However, it was not for us.

My daughter and I stayed at this property during her college visit in Boston. Great location. Easy walking. Older building so you may not be used to some of its quirks, but the apartment has everything to be comfortable. I hope to stay here again or at one of their other properties when I am back in Boston.

Three days in Boston
The apartment on Kent Street is perfectly located within Brookline and Longwood, and an easy T ride to anywhere in Boston. The view from the living room looked down upon the beautiful soccer field of Northeastern University. We really appreciated the snacks and water that were left for us, and the ability to cook or store food in the full kitchen.

Clean and cozy Brookline
Great stay in Brookline. Convenient parking available in back of building. Perfect for 2 people. Unit on top floor so might not be right for anyone with mobility issues. Very clean with everything you need. Host very attentive. Would stay again!

Love Brookline!
Nice to be able to walk around the neighborhood and shops and 1/2 mile walk to subway greenline. The apartment a bit run down with an uncomfortable bed and we had problems with the ceiling in the bathroom coming down. The manager was attentive and was cleaned up quickly.
2.0 / 5.0
Pros: This 3d floor apartment is continently located relative to the Harvard Medical School, public transportation, grocery shop. This property has a convenient check- in and check-out express service. The apartment looked cleaned.
Cons: I had a negative experience while staying at this property. Heating did not work upon my arrival during blizzard in Massachusetts. A technician could not fix heating during the first night. I have not been compensated for inconvenience but rather was offered to end the reservation earlier. The property managers kept called me late (10:58pm), despite being advised not to disturb because much needed rest in the evening after a long day at work. After multiple unpleasant communications with the property managing team, the heating was restored the following day.

Weekend Trip Stay
The property was very clean and just as described online and through discussion with property manager. Stayed at the property for a weekend trip to Boston, which was easily accessible from the property. Additionally, were able to go into Brookline for a quick dinner and there were plenty of restaurants and shops to explore around the area! Definitely recommend for travel to Boston.

Perfect Location
Positioned in very nice neighborhood. Everywhere we wanted to go was within one mile or less. Saved a fortune on Lyft/Uber. Fully functional kitchen. Some listed lighting in stairwell as an issue. It must have been fixed because it was very nicely lit. Loved our stay.

Great for two
We found the place just right for our trip to Boston. Easy walk to some nice breakfast spots and an easy walk to the T for getting around the area.

Absolutely perfect!
This was the first time to do a VRBO and was not sure what to expect. To say that Kama has set the bar high would be an understatement!
We were greeted with an adorable and cozy apartment that felt like home. There were so many extra touches such as a tray of snacks with a couple bottles of water; soft fluffy towels were plentiful; cute slippers; face wipes/makeup remover; as well as shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, etc.
The neighborhood is wonderful and quiet. We had great weather and kept a few windows opened at night and it was very peaceful.
We used the transportation service that Kama suggested to and from the airport and James was awesome.
We plan on returning to Boston in 2 years and look forward to staying in the same apartment.
Thank you for hospitality Kama!

Great apartment & location
As a single person in Boston for the first time, this was happily a great choice. Loved the apartment, and the bed (esp after a long trip) was the comfiest I'd ever slept in! Easy walk to Longwood T and a short trip to city. Great neighbourhood with beautiful houses and gardens. Problem with the TV resolved very quickly (not that I watched much!), and all amenities perfectly fine. Generous snack basket and coffee greeted me, as well as surprise slippers and plentiful, quality towels. Communication with Kama from first enquiry to arrival and departure instructions faultless. Would definitely stay again.

This property was a nice small apartment. Had everything we needed. Well appointed. In a nice and safe neighborhood so we felt safe. Easy walk to restaurants, coffee and Fenway Park. Communication with manager was easy. Quick response when we had questions.

Comfy Cozy Condo
A friend and I spent three nights at this cozy little condo. We were in town for a ballgame at Fenway and some sightseeing. This property fit our needs perfectly! It was centrally located to restaurants and stores and public transportation. We parked the car and walked everywhere. The owner was such a pleasure to deal with and we appreciated all the unexpected special touches such as a generous snack basket, plenty of towels and even pairs of slippers! I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again if I return to the Boston area.

Sweet and well-appointed apartment in excellent location!
This charming apartment is small, but feels much larger than its square footage because every inch is maximized its fullest potential.
The kitchen is updated and has any appliance you could want, so it's easy to store and cook meals, if you're so inclined.
The location is in a neighborhood just off the busyness of Beacon Street, but still very walkable. We had a very busy schedule during our stay, but were still able to enjoy a walk around the neighborhood on our last night to check out the beautiful nantucket-style homes!
Kama and company were extremely responsive and provided very detailed instructions on the check-in/check-out procedures, as well as tips for getting around town and attractions and instructions for how to work the television, etc.
Other nice details were slippers, a welcome basket of goodies!
I would recommend this for single travelers, a couple or a couple with one or two children.

GREAT place to stay
I only left five stars because I couldn’t leave more. Such an awesome place, and an even better team to deal with. They’re extremely hospitable and attentive to every question and concern.

Nice apt and area
Our stay at this property was very nice. It is as advertised and Kama was responsive to any questions we had. We extended our stay by one night. It is on the 3rd floor and no elevator but the stairwell is broken up with landings so not as bad as a straight stairwell, and we knew this when we booked it. The neighborhood is a Historical area and has a beautiful ball field is across the street. The green line D train in close walking distance and a straight shot to tour Fenway Park ( get off at Kenmore) and a straight shot to the sights and bus tours at Government Center.

Great location but lots of stairs
The apartment is fine, a little dated but fine. The problem is the three flights of stairs to get to the apartment. The middle flight is poorly lit and I took a tumble the first night after off loading everything and then heading back out to dinner.
We walked to the BMFA one day and to dinner every night. The Irish pub was amazing. Best food on a long trip. The Italian place on Princeton was wonderful, too.
The apartment could use a bit of an update in the bathtub. Some of the paint(?) on the tile is coming off. Also it needs exhaust as one shower makes the whole apartment rather wet.

Charming, slice-of-Boston-living property
What a charming apartment! We wanted to get the full feel of living in Boston during our visit and we accomplished that here. During our summer stay, the weather was hot and humid. However, with the two air conditioners this property has, we were comfortable and cool inside. Kama was a wonderful host. If you don't mind climbing three steep floors of stairs, you'll enjoy this place. (The stairs were great exercise for me!) It's located on a beautiful street in a beautiful part of town. Thank you, Kama!

Cute little apartment in a nice neighborhood
Three people stayed in the apartment to attend a concert at Fenway. It accommodated us but is better for just two people. There was a basket of snacks and some waters waiting for us, which we appreciated. There were a lot of towels, which was also great. A/C units kept it cool on a hot summer day. Note that this is a 3-story walk up so pack lightly! We bought the parking pass too, which was worth the $15/day charge, then we used Lyft to get around. The property manager was available any time and very helpful.

Beautiful area near everything you’ll need!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this location. The neighborhood is beautiful, the walk to the subway is very easy, and it’s just a short ride to anywhere you need to go in Boston. It was great to have a laundry room available. The unit is on the top floor- which wasn’t a problem for us to climb a few flights of stairs, but I did miss that detail somewhere along the line, so was thankful that my family could handle the stairs.
Overall, we are so pleased and would certainly stay again next time we are in Boston.

Cute, cozy and clean
We stayed at the apartment for the Boston marathon weekend. It was a short walk to either the Brookline or Longwood T stations. (Green line) A quick trip into the city centre. Beautiful safe, family neighbourhood where you can walk to Fenway, restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed our weekend very much. Thank you to our host Kama. Thank you also for the water and snacks.
