Overall, we had a great stay in Brookline and it was the perfect jumping off point for our trip to the Northeast! The unit is about a 10-15min walk to the closest T station which wasn’t too bad and it was very clean! Checking in was a breeze, and communicating with the host was easy and painless. One thing, the unit is a basement unit with low ceilings, which isn’t super apparent from the photos. It wasn’t a problem for us, but if you're over 6ft it might present a challenge. Overall, we would definitely stay again!

Wonderful rental with attentive property owners. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Within walking distance of a market, cafe's and the T line.

We enjoyed our 10 night stay in Brookline in this roomy apartment. Well supplied and walking distance to Jamaica Pond as well as a green belt. Not far from downtown and also close to Boston.

We absolutely loved our stay in Brookline. Close and convenient to the D Green Line (I had no idea what that meant three days ago, but I became a pro within hours, and I had zero previous subway experience), quick access in and out of Boston, and an extremely safe family neighborhood. Lots of parks and children outside playing. We walked around as late as 10pm after delicious dining, and we felt completely safe. We walked to neighborhoods that had more dining options, and it was a 15 minute walk. As for the space itself, it needed improvement. It is a basement unit, and the ceilings are LOW. I am 5'11", and I actually had to duck down when walking into the bedroom and kitchen. I did hit my head on the doorway once when I wasn't paying attention. The lock to the bedroom had a funky stick to it, and it took a couple of days to master it and ensure it was locked. That was annoying; I want to know it was locked behind me the first time, not after 20 tries, and the manual could have mentioned that the door needs to be pulled toward you when locking from the outside and away from you when locking from the inside. The bed was comfortable, the TV had numerous viewing options, and the guide they had out was helpful. The lighting was poor; there wasn't a light to turn on when entering the front door, and as soon as you closed it, it was pitch black. We had to turn on each individual light to illuminate the TV room and see anything. Keep in mind, it was summer, and it gets light at 5am and dark after 9pm. The bathroom was really old, dated, and worn. It had SEVERE cracks in the tiles, and overall felt unclean. Our experience was good because we loved the neighborhood, the management team communicated well and often, I liked the locked and secured main entrance, and were in the space minimally. But since this is a review of the space, there needs to be better warning in the description about the ceiling height, honest photos of the condition of the bathroom, and a light switch upon entry to the unit.
