Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Brookline

Eight members of my family gathered from afar for a few days most of us without a car, and I chose Margaret's house because of proximity to the Orange T line and walkability. We were delighted with our choice as it is safe, quiet, and has something for everyone: its near to a useful market for the cooks and eaters (Happy Market, with full grocery supply plus in-house made hot Mexican food bar = easy crowd pleasing take out), nice shops for the browsers (book shops! Salamagundi hat shop!), great walks for the walkers (old houses! Arnold Arboretum!), and we could zip all over town on the T (no parking, no traffic!), & lots of channels for the TV watchers. We loved the spaciousness inside, garden & views of trees outside, 3 bathrooms, the kitchen flooded with morning light, and especially that the kitchen is completely equipped for cooking. We appreciated that this is Margaret's home & Margaret/Julie were helpful with extra explanations and extra supplies for our big group. Well done!

We stayed for a graduation for our son and the house comfortable accommodated our entire family including parents/ in-laws. There was a creek in the back, pool, Firepit. We had fun playing pool (billiards) and darts. Nice Kitchen with new appliances. The 3 bedrooms are nice in size and we never felt cramped accommodating us all. The host communicated very quickly and was sooo nice. We unfortunately won’t be in Boston in near future however if we did and needed the space we would book again.

Bruce’s carriage house is one of our all-time favorite AirBnB experiences. It was perfect for a family in town for a graduation celebration who needed four separate bedrooms. The carriage house is beautifully appointed and in a delightful area of Boston. When our travels take us back to Boston, we will surely book again!

Perfect set up for our crew; were in Boston from CA to celebrate a graduate. Home was centrally located to all of our festivities and worked out great.

Lovely home, well-stocked with everything you will need for your stay - kitchen utensils, pots and pans, basic ingredients, towels and shower products, etc. TV and Amazon Alexa speaker. Would highly recommend staying here, easy walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, bars and public transportation in Porter and Union Squares.

Our rental was roomy with 6 adults and slept comfortably with bedrooms were big and roomy. The coffee station was great with everything we needed. William was there to greet us and allowed us an early check in to drop off luggage before enjoying the area. Lots of towels and toiletries. The place was very clean and enjoyed the snacks. Thanks.

Marybeth’s home was exactly what me and my family wanted. We wanted a cozy place far enough from the city, but close enough to easily drive into Boston. Since I like to cook, I was immediately impressed with the kitchen and all its ammenities. I did not want for a single kitchen tool or appliance. Everyone commented on how the beds felt - warm and comfortable. Loved the back yard and the grill. Great communications. Easy check-in and easy check-out. Highly recommend Marybeth’s BnB.

Our stay was incredible! We were in town for my daughter's graduation. The home was clean, comfortable and full of charm - a perfect blend of warmth and elegance. The neighborhood was quiet and picturesque, perfect for our family. Kim was incredibly kind, responsive and thoughtful - making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and stress-free visit. Every detail made if feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend these accommodations. We couldn't have asked for better. We'd love to return again!

Christin is an exceptional host and this property is really special. Spacious, and incredibly well-appointed with a playful mid-century modern vibe. The deck boasts a lovely view and this beautiful space was just what we needed during a hectic, family event-driven visit to the area. Christin is super-communicative and considerate host who anticipates guests’ every need—and then some! From a well-stocked kitchen to her list of local go-tos for food, drink, pampering and fun, she provided it all before we even thought of it. There was even a bottle of celebratory bubbly chilling in the fridge when we arrived. A top Airbnb experience!

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful time visiting Boston and Ryan's place made the travel and exploration so enjoyable. It's an 8min walk to the subway and it's super easy to hop lines! The area is really comfortable too, Target and Stop&Shop are an easy walking distance for extra groceries or anything else you would need. I would recommend anyone to stay here, as the place is small but comfortable and incredibly homey.

Lucio’s place was perfect for our weekend getaway! It was super clean and tidy, well stocked and so comfortable. It’s in a cute neighbourhood and we were within walking distance of some wonderful restaurants and public transit. Lucio was incredibly helpful with travel and parking tips making our stay absolutely perfect! We would definitely return next time we’re in the area!

Had everything we needed, was really comfortable and a great place to explore the area from. Highly recommended and will be back if we are looking to stay in the area again.

Great spot to stay for a quick business trip in the area. The parking pass made it a breeze at check-in, and the coffee was a life saver for my early morning starts!

What a wonderful apartment! Meri and Jeff have gone out of their way to immaculately maintain a very cozy and gorgeous space for guests! The location is perfect to explore the neighborhood and we thoroughly enjoyed the long walks by the beach, which is so close by. We will certainly come back again!

Kristin’s place was quiet and perfect for our short stay in the area. Kristin was communicative and really helped us out when I realized I’d only booked for one night but had thought I’d booked for two! We had a great stay.

Great place to stay. Clean, beautiful neighborhood, huge comfy bed. Mikkie communicated swiftly. The back yard is a little slice of heaven

Great stay! We enjoyed it a lot. The room Is very spacious and the vibes in the house are very peaceful. Thanks again

The house is well-set up to accommodate guests. The neighborhood is safe, residential and with free-lines streets. Near Arnold Arboretum it is a beautiful area. The bathroom and bedroom are really clean and clutter-free which was so refreshing to experience! Anna is incredibly responsive and even when I needed assistance in the early morning hours she was available. And when I returned home late one evening on an unseasonably hot day she offered to turn on he air conditioning and then proceeded to install a window unit in the room in less than 19 minutes. She made great coffee in the morning and provided many suggestions for transport and getting around generally; and she walked me to the nearby bus stop on my first morning in the house. The house is large enough to house multiple guests simultaneously but I hardly overlapped with them. I’m very appreciative for the pleasant experience.

Everything about my stay was exactly as represented in the description on Airbnb. Anna was very attentive and we had a nice chat over coffee before I left in the morning. It was quiet and clean, and in a lovely neighborhood.

So we returned Boston to take our flight and no doubt we chose to stay in Anna’s place again. Anna has done wonderfully to make all her guests feel at home: the beds are so comfy, rooms always clean and kitchen facilities ready and nice to use. Thank you Anna for providing such a warm place!

The room was comfortable and clean and exactly as advertised. Anna was very responsive with questions and they were really flexible with check in and check out time which was helpful.

Wonderful host and location. Enjoyed our graduation week at this lovely property.
