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.

Our daughter made the reservation for us . Our impressions: A/good: -Easy check in -pleasant to arrive and to to get snacks -Very nice renovated kitchen very well furnished. -Towels / soap/ products and all material to make our stay confortable -Nice neighboorhood -Easy check in and flexibility of the hosts B/LESS GOOD.... - The bed and sofa bed were not comfortable at all. Matresses should be changed. -No lift in the building despite 3 floors (not mentioned on the description on VRBO -not easy with heavy luggages to go up - The front door and lock of the apartment should be changed . We did not feel secure -Bathroom should be renovated

Great place - centrally located in Brookline. Easy access to BU. Clean, tidy, well stocked. Thanks!

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.

Easy stay. We will be back.
