EASY ACCESS TO BOSTON. PEACEFUL AND SAFE LOCATION. EXCELLENT SCHOOLS WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING PROGRAM.
Newton ranks second in the U.S. of the best cities to raise children.

The flat is excellent for families. It is on the ground floor, faces a lovely street and has the feel of a private house.

Our best advertisers are former tenants.

Suzanne from England:

"This apartment is a really great place to be for a year in Boston. It is very well set up for tenants to move in and get on with life with a minimum of hassle. Newton is a friendly, peaceful, easy-going neighbourhood with great schools and amenities, including a soccer field and free tennis courts on the next block. Access to central Boston is easy by T (suburban railway), so you have the benefits of being close to the city while living in a small town. Most importantly, Karen and Aaron are wonderful landlords. They are kind and considerate and will go out of their way to make their tenants' stay a happy one. Any issues with the apartment were fixed very quickly. They are very easy to deal with and keen to offer help in settling in as well as sourcing 'nice to haves' such as play equipment for children. Our children have loved spending time with them and walking Scout and we will all miss them when we leave!"

Andrés from Spain and Austin, Texas:

"1) Location was great; 2) Not too much traffic, yet perfectly connected with central streets; 3) Karen and Aaron were very, very nice people; 4) The apartment was super-functional. It was spacious, and the only catch was that it has only one bathroom, but it didn't affect us."

(We met them in 2005 and just visited them for the second time. )

Antoine from France and Spain:

"Bowen school is really great, and free. I used to take my daughters there every morning. It’s 2 minutes’ drive, or 10 minutes’ walk.

They have a program called 'ELL', namely “English as a Learning Language”, to help kids whose first language at home is not English...Our kids were comfortable with English after 1 month."

*There is a bedroom on either side of the bathroom. One is furnished with an excellent queen-size bed. The other has two twin beds. A third bedroom is next to the living room. It has a twin bed and a futon.

The house can accommodate more than two adults and two children, but I think that is the ideal family for the amount of space and the single bathroom.

I checked "modern kitchen" under amenities because there is a relatively new refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and other appliances. The decor could use updating.
