Temporary housing

Everything was easy about the whole process of renting, and the unit was very clean and nice. We need a temporary housing while moving out of our house in Boston.

Grand Slam Visit!

My husband and I visited Brookline to see family and attend a Red Sox game. We were very pleased with the special touches (snacks, coffee, shampoo, lotion, et.), as well as, very clean. Located in a beautiful area and convenient to transportation.

Great Location

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.

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.

We’re so glad you got to enjoy the area and found the unit to be conveniently located near public transport. We’re sorry the bed wasn’t too your liking but it is a new mattress. Thank you for letting us know about the bathroom ceiling issue as soon as it happened, and we were glad to be able to send maintenance over promptly to fix it. Of course we’re so glad you felt we were responsive, and you’re welcome back anytime!

Wonderful Condo in Brookline!

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!

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!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy

Disappointment all around

It is a tiny apartment, barely enough room to walk to the bathroom through the bedroom. The heating was awful. The TV's didn't work. There were no markings for the parking in the back. I was called and harassed by the management company about "taking up three parking spots." Just had a very lousy experience.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Jun, 2025
We’re genuinely surprised by this review, as no concerns were communicated to us until the very end of the stay. We're always responsive and attentive, and had we been made aware of any issues in real time, we would have resolved them right away. We’re very clear and transparent in our listings and communication, and we consistently provide a clean, comfortable, and well-managed experience. It’s unfortunate to receive vague feedback after the fact, especially when no opportunity was given to assist during the stay. All the best, Elliot!

Boston graduation

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.

Four day Boston family trip

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.

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.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

The property was very clean and just as described online and through discussion with property manager.

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.

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.

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.
