The apartment was clean and well stocked. There was a welcome basket in the kitchen with water bottles and snacks that were much appreciated after our long flight. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen looked like it had everything you'd need. The bathroom was large and had a basket with soaps, razors, shaving foam, toothbrushes, etc. Our group was 3 women and there was plenty of room for all of our lotions, hair supplies, etc. The living room couch was comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The bedroom above the street had a king sized bed. The mattress was too firm for my liking. The street is very busy and if you are a light sleeper, this is not the room for you. Buses, delivery trucks, and even an occasional siren could be heard. My daughter slept in the other bedroom and said it was quiet, but the mattress was too firm for her. There is no elevator, but I am 60+ years old with a brace on a bum knee and had no trouble going up and down the stairs. The apartment was smoke free, but when we went into the hallway, we could immediately tell that someone had been smoking in the hall/stairwell. We had paid for a parking space, but when we arrived someone else was parked there. I had to call the owner and ask that the car be removed. The owner emailed a detailed welcome packet with a ton of information. It included pictures of specific things to help us easily get into the apartment and find our parking spot. The apartment is very close to a T station. We felt very safe walking from the T station back to the apartment at night. Also, the apartment is very close to Starbucks and other coffee shops, a convenience store, and restaurants. Brookline is a cute town and a nice place to stay.
