Fantastic two bedroom apartment with plenty of room for our family of 5. Everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable living room, balcony overlooking street. Within 5 minute drive of the forest hills subway station. Many grocery options within a short walk. Host was very pleasant to deal with. Some street noise, but with air conditioning on it didn’t bother us at all. Would stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. I especially enjoyed the artwork and various sculptures in the apartment. Thank you for allowing us to rent this beautiful apartment.

If I could give more stars I would. We walked in to an anniversary card on the table. Champagne in the fridge. Plus breakfast food for our stay. Nelson and his wife are excellent hosts. Went above and beyond. Place is spotless and cozy! Would definitely stay here again!

My family and I stayed here on a family vacation to Boston. The location is close to the bus stop that you can then get anywhere you would like to go in the city via subway. We went to a Red Sox game, the Boston Common, and multiple other places for just a few bucks. The house is up 3 flights of stairs, with a balcony, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a pullout couch. It has a large, beautiful kitchen table that everyone could sit around and eat and play games. All kitchen utensils and needs are supplied. When we arrived there was juice, milk, bagels and coffee for us to enjoy.

This was a beautiful property and close to Boston. We really enjoyed our stay. We were here to explore Boston. The only little problem we had, which is not the owner’s fault was that the bus line wasn’t running regularly when we were there. The home is beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. Thanks for the extra groceries! So kind of you!!!

Convenient location for our class

Just as advertised. Made a great home base for our Boston Marathon weekend. Nelson was very helpful with an early check-in. Appreciated the groceries on arrival. Thank you and aloha.

The location is very convenient, and the hosts left everything you would need to be comfortable during the stay. Well equipped and very comfortable. The host is immediately communicative and checked in that I arrived okay. Street parking is surprisingly easy to find (move your car to opposite side Monday nights). It is a main street so you can hear traffic noise. The hosts provide ear plugs for those who need it. I would absolutely stay here again.

During our week trip to Boston, this lovely holiday apartment gave us a home away from home. We landed in the middle of the night and thanks to the combination lock, a warm bright apartment with basic supplies for the first breakfast awaited us. We were blown away each day by the colorful rooms and the lovely details and amenities. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. There were plenty of dishes and pots. Whether it was the coffee maker or the dishwasher, all were high quality, well maintained appliances. There were cozy beds with lots of pillows, plenty of towels in all colors, provided earplugs, but you do not need them. Even though the house is located on a busy street, it is not noisy. You can find a parking place in front of the house or in a nearby side street. A bus leaves 100 meters away, which takes you to the subway, which takes you to the city center. By car it takes 20 minutes. The friendly landlord responded quickly to email requests and always offered his help. Während unseres einwöchigen Trips nach Boston gab uns diese schöne Ferienwohnung ein Zuhause. Wir landeten mitten in der Nacht und dank des Zahlenschloss erwartete uns ein warmes helles Apartment mit einer Grundversorgung für das erste Frühstück. Wir waren jeden Tag wieder von neuem begeistert über die farbenfrohen Räume und die liebevollen Details und Annehmlichkeiten. Die gut ausgerüstete Küche bot alles, um selbst zu kochen. Geschirr und Töpfe waren ausreichend vor

It was good to stay at Nelson and Marlenes’s apt very clean and comfortable for our little family. We enjoy the stay.

The heat was set to 79 degrees when we arrived so it was a bit toasty, but otherwise a great stay. Don’t be scared by the exterior of the building which could use some new paint, the interior is very clean!

We stayed for 3 nights. Great place, close to many places. The place was clean, we had everything we needed and Nelson and Marlene left us some supplies which was a nice bonus. Thanks so much! Would stay again if in the area!

This was a fun quirky place for our family to stay. We had to look up the age of the building - built in 1920 - very cool. No complaints. Owners were very attentive to our arrival, which was late, and providing first day breakfast was greatly appreciated.

We had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable. I would recommend asome refreshing of the paint, etc. We really appreciated having a place to park.

We came to the east coast for the happy occasion of our oldest child graduating from Physician Assistant school in CT and made a vacation out of it! Four of us traveled to Boston to explore and we loved this VRBO! It is very close to the southern most stop on the orange line of the "T" and we had took the train in to the city everyday. The accommodations were perfect for us. Even though it was hot outside, the A/C units kept the apartment very comfortable and there were fans to use as well. It was nice to be able to "spread out" a bit after being in hotels. Shopping was close, though I would advise having a car for convenience-2-3 min drive to train stop (plenty of parking there, $9 per day) and to grocery stores-less than 5 min from apartment. Overall great stay! Would certainly stay again. Peter and Jackie Teeple

Great stay! Brought my adult family back to see where we once lived and worked. Where my wife and I had met. To visit family and friends. Nelson was a great host very easy to communicate with. I hope we can come back and stay. I enjoyed having my coffee each morning on the front balcony. My kids enjoyed sitting out there and seeing and listening to the hustle and bustle of the city. We slept each night so well. It was such a great place to stay with the T so close. I can not Thank Nelson so much for allowing me to re-connect with my family in a safe wonderful apartment. It was a great home away from home.

Beautiful space, beautiful owners! Very easy to book and a pleasure to stay! Only 20 minutes from the city, with many restaurants around for nights in. The bright colors and modern decor give this place a happy aura!!

My family of five enjoyed staying here. For a Boston place, this spot was very roomy and affordable. The host was extremely nice and quick to respond to communication. The host left a few snacks in the kitchen kitchen. Thank you for your hospitality!

We had an amazing time at this location. It is within 30 minutes of downtown Boston but several great restaurants within walking distance. We traveled to a number of places in and around the Boston area and found it ideal to get in and out of the neighborhood without dealing with a great deal of traffic. The hosts were incredible and have provided not only a great deal of information about the Boston area attractions but local attractions and restaurants as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

This was a comfortable place to stay. There are two bedrooms of relatively equal size and one is a bit farther from the street which is the one I chose. There is some street noise as the place is on a busy street but I would not characterize the noise as a major issue. I am generally not a TV watcher but I am a golf fan and the US Open was happening so was a bit disappointed when I found out while there that there was no longer cable TV which I was not alerted to in advance. The communication was good and fast from the owners. They also left some milk, eggs and beverages in the frog which was I nice touch. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

When I first booked this place I thought It would have been to far from the Boston city center. It actually worked out for the best. Great place that can reach the city quickly using public transportation. The rental was well decorated and very homey. The hosts took great care of us!

This rental is spacious, but furnishings are well worn and mismatched. The beds were comfortable, and not terribly noisy for being on a busy street. The living room wasn't anywhere you'd want to spend time. Hosts are very responsive.

Loved the homey, comfortable and colorful lodging at this VRBO. Our hosts were lovely and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

The apartment was clean, spacious, and conveniently located near Roslindale. We had a great couple of nights there.

This is a great house in a great area. We hope to stay here again on our next visit! Nelson is a great host!

We had everything we needed, and it was clean and well-stocked. Some of the decor is an acquired taste, but I like that better than sterile and boring.

We have been to Boston five times and this was best place we have stayed. The owners were so quick to respond to any questions. They were very accommodating. The apartment is in a great location. So many local restaurants nearby. Easy access to public transportation. No complaints at all!

Stayed here while attending Laver Cup in Boston. Easy enough to use transit to get to/from Boston and even at 12:30 am was able to get an Uber from the train station (Forest Hills). Very quaint apartment on the top floor (3rd) walk up. Extremely clean throughout with a newly renovated bathroom. The beds were very comfy and provided us good sleep. There are window mount ac units in the bedrooms to keep the rooms comfortable for sleep. Nelson and Marlene also provided us with several bottles of water, tea, coffee, fresh fruit, cereal and milk, juice and yogurts in the fridge (a very welcome and thoughtful touch). Communication with Nelson was impeccable! He was always very quick to respond and accommodating, even at 12:30am one night when we came home to find my bedroom door locked and no key. Long story short, Nelson actually came over to the apartment to help me open the locked room. Even though the building is on a busy street, it was surprisingly quiet. The neighborhood is not a high end area, but we felt safe and had no issues when walking around or taking the bus/train. If you are looking for an affordable place, clean and comfortable you cannot go wrong with Nelson and Marlene’s.
