Across reviews, Modern/Luxury | Steps from Zoo & Golf Course is praised for clean, spacious apartments with comfortable beds and useful amenities, plus a responsive host, while recurring notes mention third-floor stairs, an urban neighborhood feel, and distance from downtown.
Guests like the location for access to Franklin Park, the zoo, and getting around Greater Boston by car or rideshare. Parking is typically easy on the street or in a rear spot, though a few found it tricky at times. Some report outside noise at night; overall it suits families and groups seeking a comfortable, well-equipped base.

This was the perfect apartment for a city trip with three teenagers. We arrived to a beautifully decorated and immaculate space equipped with everything we could possibly want. We appreciated the spacious layout, full kitchen, and the second full bathroom. The apartment had a large sectional couch, a HUGE television with lots of channels and things to watch, and was stocked with games to play as well. We also enjoyed the bonus of the shared weight room, which is very nicely equipped! The location on a side street near several parks was peaceful and quiet. Parking was extremely easy-we always got a spot right in front of the house. We visited during winter and the house was warm and free from drafts. Hosts live downstairs and responded quickly when we had a question. Otherwise we barely knew they were there. Check in and check out were both very easy. Would 100% recommend to others that want a private, spacious apartment in a safe Boston neighborhood!

Clean, recently updated, nice furniture, appliances and amenities, very roomy. This was a 3rd floor rental with stairs, not super fun unloading and reloading the car but it is what it is, regardless we would stay again.

Beautiful apartment, updated tastefully, perfect amount of space for our family of 4, grandparents and aunt. Fully equipped nice kitchen for cooking some meals. Huge TV and comfortable open common room. Bathroom and showers were great. Didn’t mind walking up 3 flights of stairs. The neighborhood is not ideal for walking around despite the park across the street, but the location is central to downtown, colleges and many areas to visit. Diana was a great host and very responsive. We definitely recommend and would stay again in the future!

My family was here from Canada for a track meet and the location was prefect for the New Balance Track Center and family in Boston. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the well stocked and tastefully decorated home. The pictures were accurate!! Parking was a little challenging but Diana quickly had a remedy for us! Would definitely stay again.

We were on a family vacation in June. The apartment is beautiful and beds are comfortable. The location is far from downtown (approx. 45 mins in traffic). The parking in the back of the apartment was great for our oversized vehicle. The neighborhood is a little sketchy if you are not from Boston; however, we felt safe in the apartment. We did uber when we wanted to go places because of parking downtown for our vehicle. Diana was very helpful with information.

This is a lovely property. However, please be aware that it is on the top floor so you will have to climb four sets of steps which is not easy if you have heavy luggage. We did walk to the Talbot station early in the day and it was a brisk 15 minute walk. There is no Charlie Card machine there nor do any local businesses sell them but luckily they did not check for a ticket either time we used the train into downtown. Have never stayed at a VRBO with so many amenities - four bottles of water, multiple rolls of toilet paper, small basket of personal hygiene products and full bottles of hand soap. Very much appreciated. Home is very spacious and comfortable.

We stayed in the top apartment, two nights for our first visit to the Boston area. Diana’s place was immaculate and fresh with everything you could ask for. Everything was clean, updated and new. Beds were clean and very comfy, so much space here it just kept going! The neighborhood was centrally located and parking was a breeze. The area can make you nervous with its surroundings but the people were all very kind and we didn’t have a single issue with safety or feeling uneasy. Highly recommend using Diana as a host and staying at this property!! Would return in a heartbeat! Thank you!

The apartment was modern, clean and the gym in the basement was a real gem. Fully equipped with crossfit and cardio machines. The VRBO is located close to Franklin park and zoo. We had no problem parking near to the house and it was a wonderful refuge to come back to after a busy day exploring. The owners were very quick and easy to get hold of with any questions. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this if you are staying in Boston or exploring New England.

We were very nervous driving through this neighborhood on what to expect when getting to the apartment. It is one of the cleanest, nicest, most well appointed places we have stayed at in all our many travels. I li e that the stairs are inside the building and felt like I was salarying in a display model apartment vs a vrbo. Every inch is nicely appointed, beds comfortable, super clean and just was very responsive when asking about food the first night. Everything is about a 30-40 minute drive, which I didn’t mind at all, but super easy to navigate. My only complaint is the neighborhood and accompanying noise. On vacation I like going for strolls/runs in the neighborhood, but didn’t feel at all comfortable going anywhere outside the apartment except to my car. Even more so is the ever present noise. All the time from the outside. It seems like so many people like cats without mufflers and lots of sirens all hours if the day and night. I know it’s city living and nothing at all the hosts can control. But it is something for light sleepers to be aware of. But for larger groups (or a family of 5 where kids like their own space), this space worked. If you don’t mind driving to everywhere it works.

We were delighted to find that not only was it convenient, but that the property was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-stocked with amenities that displayed close attention to guest comfort. We wish we could have stayed longer!!

Property was very nice, clean, and everything was in good working order. Host Diana was welcoming, communicated well, and everything was as described. Only complaint we would have is beyond the host control but loud music playing in the neighborhood at all hours of the night.

We vacationed in Boston as Fenway was our MLB destination for this year. We have two adult sons, so we decided to do a VRBO rather than hotel. Wow! This apartment was amazing. It was spacious, clean, and welcoming. Diana had a little sign welcoming my family as well as snacks. It was great to come home from a long day of adventures and be able to spread out and relax. Our first morning there I couldn’t get into the VRBO app to found out how to lock the doors…Diana was readily available to answer my question. She was great about getting back to me on everything!! While the neighborhood was quiet and uneventful, I had reservations about walking around after dark, so we relied on Uber and Lyft to go everywhere. It was anywhere between 15 and 25 minutes to reach our destinations. Would I stay there again? Absolutely!! Diana’s home is beautiful and just what I envisioned when I booked it! Thank you, Diana.

Diana was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond to messages. The apartment itself is SO cute with nice neighbors within the building. We spent most of our days out and about exploring Boston, so the neighborhood wasn’t a huge issue for us. I would recommend this place or stay again myself if I was back in Boston!

Location
Convenient for Franklin Park, the zoo and getting around by car or rideshare, but farther from downtown. Several guests found the surrounding neighborhood less walkable or comfortable, especially at night, and several noted feeling safe inside the apartment.

We had a “girls” long weekend at this property and we could not have asked for a better accommodation! The space was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. The host was easy to reach and very attentive. The location was convenient to a lot of family attractions like parks and the zoo! Overall great experience!

Beautiful apartment, updated tastefully, perfect amount of space for our family of 4, grandparents and aunt. Fully equipped nice kitchen for cooking some meals. Huge TV and comfortable open common room. Bathroom and showers were great. Didn’t mind walking up 3 flights of stairs. The neighborhood is not ideal for walking around despite the park across the street, but the location is central to downtown, colleges and many areas to visit. Diana was a great host and very responsive. We definitely recommend and would stay again in the future!

We were on a family vacation in June. The apartment is beautiful and beds are comfortable. The location is far from downtown (approx. 45 mins in traffic). The parking in the back of the apartment was great for our oversized vehicle. The neighborhood is a little sketchy if you are not from Boston; however, we felt safe in the apartment. We did uber when we wanted to go places because of parking downtown for our vehicle. Diana was very helpful with information.

We came out from Denver and had an amazing time in Boston — the apartment itself was perfect. Location was a good driving distance from everything we wanted to see and do, but the neighborhood itself was not the best. Definitely didn’t feel safe going for walks or down to the bodega, especially at night. Everything else was great and I would recommend this stay for anyone, but just be aware of the neighborhood if you are not from Boston and wouldn’t have any idea. To be clear, at no time did we feel unsafe at the apartment, it was just the neighborhood itself.

We stayed in the top apartment, two nights for our first visit to the Boston area. Diana’s place was immaculate and fresh with everything you could ask for. Everything was clean, updated and new. Beds were clean and very comfy, so much space here it just kept going! The neighborhood was centrally located and parking was a breeze. The area can make you nervous with its surroundings but the people were all very kind and we didn’t have a single issue with safety or feeling uneasy. Highly recommend using Diana as a host and staying at this property!! Would return in a heartbeat! Thank you!

We were very nervous driving through this neighborhood on what to expect when getting to the apartment. It is one of the cleanest, nicest, most well appointed places we have stayed at in all our many travels. I li e that the stairs are inside the building and felt like I was salarying in a display model apartment vs a vrbo. Every inch is nicely appointed, beds comfortable, super clean and just was very responsive when asking about food the first night. Everything is about a 30-40 minute drive, which I didn’t mind at all, but super easy to navigate. My only complaint is the neighborhood and accompanying noise. On vacation I like going for strolls/runs in the neighborhood, but didn’t feel at all comfortable going anywhere outside the apartment except to my car. Even more so is the ever present noise. All the time from the outside. It seems like so many people like cats without mufflers and lots of sirens all hours if the day and night. I know it’s city living and nothing at all the hosts can control. But it is something for light sleepers to be aware of. But for larger groups (or a family of 5 where kids like their own space), this space worked. If you don’t mind driving to everywhere it works.

The property was clean and just as pictured! Very roomy for 4 adults and 4 teens! The street is a little noisy but the beds are VERY comfy especially after walking miles around the city! The commute was simple via UBER. Diana was amazing and quick to respond! She also gave us a heads up to construction that was happening during our stay!

We needed to stay close to Franklin Park for a cross country meet and so picked this property entirely based on location/proximity to the park. We were delighted to find that not only was it convenient, but that the property was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-stocked with amenities that displayed close attention to guest comfort. We wish we could have stayed longer!!

The apartment was modern, clean and the gym in the basement was a real gem. Fully equipped with crossfit and cardio machines. The VRBO is located close to Franklin park and zoo. We had no problem parking near to the house and it was a wonderful refuge to come back to after a busy day exploring. The owners were very quick and easy to get hold of with any questions. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this if you are staying in Boston or exploring New England.

We chose this rental for our family to stay together to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Boston University. 4 bedrooms/2 baths worked for 4 grandparents and my husband and I. Nice bedding and towels. Stocked with all the necessities which was appreciated.The apartment on the 3rd floor was doable but not ideal with luggage/groceries.The space was very clean and accurately described by the pictures. We were able to cook meals, visit, and relax in one space which was wonderful.The location the perfect distance from the events, restaurants, excursions and the airport. Easy to park in the driveway around back.The only negative was the noise from the neighborhood. Loud music being played late nightly and the sirens from emergency vehicles. Of course that is out of the owner’s control.
