The location is very good, close to the train station. You can hear traffic noise from outside early in the morning, and there is a lot of light coming in because the windows don't have blackout curtains. It doesn't have a garden, as mentioned in the description. There were 8 of us, and the space was okay. The place was clean, and the host was always very friendly.

Completely as described

This host does a really fine job of accurately describing the property and its setting. I appreciate this - and the place was cheerful, well maintained, and easy to find. We took the train into Boston, and the station is a three minute walk from the property. Also great restaurants and coffee very nearby. Our first VRBO experience, and a wonderful example of quality and kindness.

Great place to stay in Brookline!

This property was great for our weekend trip to Brookline. We only had 5 people, but the house could have 3 or 4 more. It was very clean and nicely furnished. We especially appreciated the electric blankets! We would definitely stay here again!

Gem in Boston

You can’t judge a book by its cover and that’s what we found with this gem. The renovation, style, comfort were top. Clean, with owners who had great advice and were prepared for our questions. Would stay here again.

Great stay in Boston

Loved staying here with family as we visited my daughter at BU - quick drive to school as well as shops/restaurants we could walk to in Brookline. The rental was lovely, just as pictured and very comfortable. The only thing to consider if you stay here are that there are two flights of stairs into the rental so definitely not for people with limited mobility. Thank you for a great stay!!

Great location and Great Host

I stayed here for the weekend with friends and we had a blast! The multiple rooms was great so everyone had their own bed and their own room! The living room/kitchen sitting area was great place to socialize and be with everyone all at once. Ulrich was an amazing host and responded to questions in a timely manner. If I ever need to go back to Boston I would book this place again!

Need to climb 33 steps to get in the unit. The kitchen is a nightmare, beat up chipped counters, disgusting rusty and stained cookware, 2 of the 3 outlets don’t work. The blinds throughout the place are either broken or missing. I do not recommend having a car here. The parking situation is terrible, You can park on the incredibly busy street during the day (if you find a spot) then at precisely 8 PM you have to move to a parking lot 10 minutes away. It has to be at or after 8PM to use the kiosk for payment for overnight parking. Not 7:45 PM, so that screws up any evening plans. The air conditioning is not adequate. Window units in the bedrooms work fine, but the portable unit in the living room was noisy and wouldn’t cool the space, and it wasn’t even that hot outside in September.Even though other reviews mention that the owner responds quickly, I sent numerous texts and messages through VRBO that were not responded to. Finally heard back on day 2 and the host response was patronizing, stating every other reviewer thought it was great. A tall person cannot be in the upstairs bedrooms. Low ceilings and very low showerhead made it uncomfortable to say the least. The shower rod downstairs was crusted in rust. On the plus side, it is a short walk to the T train to downtown Boston. I don’t understand the previous reviewers giving it high marks.

Great Location & Spacious

We were in town for Reunion weekend. We had small kids in tow (3 kids under 10). The location was convenient, quiet and the home was quite spacious. Great amenities for a family- including bunk beds, washer/ dryer and a handful of board games. Easy to Uber around Boston. Thankful for the guidance in advance regarding parking as that was a challenge and unit was hard to find for food delivery etc. Stairs up and down to get to front door- be prepared if traveling with someone that has mobility issues or a stroller. Communication with our host was quick and seamless. Made a few suggestions post stay that will help the next visiting family. Host happily took feedback. Would return to this rental. Thank you!

Renters Beware!!

This unit has no overnight parking at the property and it was not disclosed to us until we checked in the day of arrival. Closest parking was a public lot that was a 10 minute walk. Weather was in the 30s with freezing rain. We really feel like we were deceived. Owner could have arranged for an overnight parking permit. We will never rent from this host again.

Central location, Great shops & restaurants

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the spaciousness of the skyrise. We loved the variety of great locally owned restaurants and shops in the neighborhood ((just head up Harvard and Washington streets). Note: Boylston is on a very busy street, and there is a lot of light coming in through the white mini blinds from buildings surrounding this one. So earplugs and a sleep mask are recommended if you have sensitivity to street noise or light.

Nice alternative to Hotel

We had a little family get together to go see some Red Sox games. This was a really nice space to do it - The whole family didn’t stay, but the spacious living room dining room allowed the rest of the gang to come visit comfortably. To be fair, I am biased towards the Brookline location because I lived there, but it really is a great part of town with everything you need nearby and very easy to get to downtown

Concert stay

Stayed here with friends for a concert at Fenway. Although, the apartment is above a business and it doesn’t have the best “curb appeal”, it is very nice inside. The living/dining room is bright and couches are comfortable. The beds are comfortable as well. I stayed in the upstairs bedroom and did not hear street noise as warned in property’s description. My friends did on the first floor, however, earplugs were provided by host which was thoughtful. Overall, a nice place to stay!

Hot time in the city

Parking was a nightmare and the condo was super hot when we got there. The AC units were not keeping up. After a while, the place cooled down and was enjoyable. They had wine, chips and salsa and coffee pods ready to go. My only suggestion would be an advanced warning about the parking. The closest lot was Kent St, which is less than a half mile. Property host had great communication with us!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ulrich Kakou

Host profile image
I graduated college in 2017 with a chemistry degree. During college, I picked up a part time job as a houseman in my school’s hotel, less so for the money. More so to look busy. It was initially meant to be a past time, but one particular night left a mark I never forgot.

The job required me to assist the housekeepers. I was the grease to a well-maintained machine. Take off the bed sheets, remove the used soaps and towels, and empty the trash. You do that to every room. Simple right?

It was the last night for an opposing school’s football team and my manager needed someone to clean up after them and then prepare the rooms for the next working day.

I showed up and cleared every room assigned to me. I thought nothing of it and went back to my dorm. The next day, I went back to work on my regular shift.

To my surprise, everyone came up to me to thank me for making their day a hundred times easier. I was happy for a moment. But then I scratched my head thinking to myself, “you all know that I’m getting paid for this right?”

But then it dawned on me. I was looking at this experience through broken glasses.

Hospitality is as much a human experience for the guests as it is for the people who make that experience worthwhile.

That day has inspired to me to strive to make every experience worthwhile. My goal is to facilitate wonderful experiences for people around the world. Hopefully, hosting on Airbnb & VRBO will be the catalyst for my guests to make fun, happy, and joyful memories.

Why they chose this property

Prime location in a beautiful neighborhood. There's a lot of history here for people who want to visit Boston and surrounding area and want a nice, beautiful, comfortable place.
