Family-friendly holiday rentals in Allston, Boston

This condo was perfect for what we needed. Just two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room, so we could relax in between walking adventures. I wish I had come across this back in the fall when my daughter was playing soccer for Northeastern because the soccer field is literally across the street. There is a nice walking trail about a quarter of a mile away. We really liked Coolidge Corners. Easy to get Ubers. The place was perfect and comfortable and easy to get in/out.

We had a great stay! This house was in a great location, and very nice/spacious. We also appreciated the very thorough and clear communication regarding check-in etc, before the stay. I highly recommend Joel as a host!

The apartment was exactly like described in an amazing location. I was attending a conference at the EXPO center, and it was an easy 25 minute walk there and back. Area is safe and clean. The best feature is the is less than a minute walk from a beautiful park and beach. Multiple Restaurants within walking distance and had no trouble getting items delivered. Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much Tanya!

Very quiet area. Close to the orange Line and multiple busses. Check In/out was easy. Apt room temp was good. Hot water was extra hot, so also a plus. Cable TV was nice.

We enjoyed staying at Karen’s! It was a super clean space which we really, really appreciated. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Super easy to check-in and check-out. Karen is also super responsive and proactive which was great! Only bump in the road was that we unfortunately had to deal with a water leak issue which was stressful but Karen did what she could to be as helpful as possible. It was fixed shortly after reporting. We appreciated that Karen coordinated maintenance so quickly in a way that was accommodating to our schedule. Overall we are very pleased and would definitely recommend!

Great place. We loved the location and the surroundings. Wally was you receptive and proactive. Everything we needed was available. The instructions and local information was great and even though we had a plan of things to do, it provided us a couple of awesome ideas for our down time. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend. Thanks Wally.

We had a great stay! Quiet, safe neighborhood, easy to get to the city. Lots of space for the six of us to eat and relax together. Beautiful view of the Boston skyline just minutes walk from the place. Comfortable beds and soft sheets too! We also had no troubles parking nearby and leaving our car (for free) for our entire stay.

This is such an amazing place. We arrived very late but the instructions to get in were great and there was stuff in the fridge to keep us going until the morning. Maude had left detailed instructions and tips to work the lights etc. We felt really comfortable and probably the most relaxed on our US trip. It is also a very walkable and safe area. Don't hesitate to stay here!

We had a fantastic stay at Louisa’s beautiful place! The home was spotless, filled with great natural light, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to Harvard, making it incredibly convenient. Our time here was not only enjoyable but also highly productive, thanks to the peaceful atmosphere and charming surroundings of this lovely street. We will definitely be returning to Louisa’s amazing home, where we truly felt like we had a home away from home. A special thanks to Louisa and James for their hospitality and for making this trip so wonderful and unforgettable.

We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood was quiet and centrally located with restaurants and shopping within an easy walking distance. Plan to stay again the next time we are in Boston

The home was in a very nice and quiet area of town with groceries, gas and restaurants a short walk or drive away even in during busy hours of Boston traffic. The home was actually larger than expected with two full bathrooms, one on each floor. Everything was clean and ready for us with a well equipped kitchen and filtered water. There was a nice booth area to eat as well as counter seating and a dining room. We only had three in our party, but you could comfortably house a much larger family in the rental. We have a few more trips planned to Boston this year and will book this first if it is available, would like to stay again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kevin’s place. Great location. Easy access to the train and the city. Lots of nearby restaurants. Kevin was friendly and accommodating and provided some nice treats to eat and drink. The apartment was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the rooftop patio. We will be sure to stay again when visiting the area.

Excellent location! Great stay for a family away from home! House was magnificent and modern. Beautiful upstairs with an open layout and a downstairs living room. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Close to the Newton center to access the (T)rain so Boston is easily accessible. Great communication with Amir! He responded quickly with any questions I had! Would definitely come back for another family vacation!

Smaranda was outside when we arrived, she greeted us and since it was around dinner time she offered some recommendations for dinner. It had been quite windy that day so the pool and hot tub had some leaves and debris in them. She was very apologetic (obviously not her fault, we can't control Mother Nature) and was very attentive and worked hard to get both the pool and hot tub ready for us to use. She showed us how everything worked and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We used both the pool and hot tub after we got back to the space after dinner and they were both very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and everything went as planned. We would definitely stay again if Smaranda would have us! Stacy and Ray

We had a wonderful stay! It's very close to Boston, and other area attractions like Salem and beaches, but still peaceful. We enjoyed sitting at the pool. Kathy was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. They provided clear instructions for getting into the space and I had no issues navigating in and out of the neighborhood or to the basement apartment. I would definitely stay again if I'm needing a place in the area!

Beautiful setting in the woods, incredibly peaceful- yet minutes away from a lovely New England village with shops and cafes.

Se fosse possibile avremmo dato 6 stelle! immersi nella natura ma a due passi da ogni comfort, l'alloggio di Michael si è rivelato oltre le nostre aspettative. Istruzioni chiare su tutto e disponibilità dell'host a dare indicazioni e suggerimenti. Scelta come base per la maratona di Boston, questo alloggio si è rivelato perfetto anche per visitare lo splendido New England! lo consigliamo vivamente e speriamo di poter tornare presto!
