"Super convenient location close to everything that I needed for school! The B,C, and D green lines are all within walking distance from the apartment, and the BC shuttle bus is right around the corner. Plus Cleveland is just a few blocks away with fantastic restaurants and convenient corner stores"

Jonathan Nushi, MA, BC - 2021

"It was a very pleasant experience for me residing at 5 Braemore Road, Apt#3. Super location in the heart of Brighton. Everything is close, be it green line T, reservoir, super markets and convenience stores, and of course Boston College. Very convenient for students as well as young professionals. The apartment is big and spacious. The manager is very nice and helpful"

Brijesh Soni, Postdoc researcher at BC - 2021

"5 Braemore Rd is in an ideal location for studens and young professionals with both B and C lines at its doorstep, T-routes that lead directly to most major universities and the central Boston area. With only a short journey on the T to Brighton and Allston, there is no shortage of things to do either. Furthermore, the nearby reservoir is a perfect place to go for a run (something hard to find elsewhere in Boston)."

Dillon Reihill, Ireland, BC Grad Philosophy - 2020

"It’s a great location for people who need both convenient public transportation and quiet environment. It's a one-minute walking to B line Chestnut hill stop (also within 10-minute walking to C and D line). The building is in a safe and quiet neighborhood where residents are friendly. Kitchen appliances are considerately provided. The room is furnished and thus it’s perfect for those who want a quick and handy move-in. The apartment manager Shira is nice and responsive."

Hui Xie, China, Boston College graduate student - 2020

"Great location for BC students. 20 min walk to BC; even quicker via the shuttle bus or T. The B line also provides easy access to Boston. Nicely furnished. Responsive landlord."

Brian Grab, PA, BC Grad Theology/Business - 2020

"5 Braemore is in a beautiful, comfortable and safe neighborhood. The apartment is conveniently close to everything you need for food, fun and livelihood. In the apartment I found a nice balance between having companions to live with and having space. Shira is a very kind and responsive landlord that I appreciated having because she does her best to make it feel like a home"

Eamrsharae Anderson, Tufts University Dental Graduate Student - 2019

"This apartment is in a very convenient location, just steps from the B line and a few minutes away from the C line. I love that it only takes about 20 minutes for me to get to the BU campus everyday. There's plenty to do in the area and the reservoir nearby is beautiful. Shira is a great landlord and is always responsive to emails and very helpful. For all the perks you get this apartment is a steal!"

Kysha Johnson, RI, BU undergrad 2019

"5 Braemore is very convenient, especially for BC students - right on the campus shuttle route and near three T stations (literally at B line station). There are restaurants, convenience stores, and CVS within 10-min walking range. The apt room is fully furnished. Shira is also a very responsible and responsive manager."

Tony Wang, China, BC grad student, 2019

"5 Braemore Road is an extremely handy location for Boston College students. It is a fifteen minute walk to campus and a two minute walk to a college route bus stop. It is beside three green lines which are great for getting around town and is in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Shira was always responsive to emails and the apartment came furnished which was great for me as an international exchange student. Thank you Shira!"

Fiona Murphy, BC exchange student from Ireland - 2018

"Very convenient and close location to the T and Cleveland Circle. For those moving from far away, or only for a year or so, the apartment being fully furnished is very useful. Shira is very responsible, reasonable and helpful as a manager."

Ruth Johnson, Graduate Student at BU - 2018

"As an international student, getting a well furnished place was the perfect thing for me. Also, the apartment being close to all the 3 Green Lines worked well for me, as my school (Emerson) was located downtown. Shira has been a wonderful manager, always prompt with replies. I would highly recommend this place if you like your space and yet want to live in a shared household."

Monamie Bir, India, Emerson College - 2017

"Very convenient location, close to the three Green Lines, steps away from the 'B'. Good option for BC and BU students. The neighborhood is lovely, the Reservoir is just a walk down from the apartment and the Boston Marathon path also passes nearby. Shira has been a great help, thank you for a great year!"

Daniela Fanelli, Italy, Emerson College - 2016

"Living in this apartment was great because everything you might need is easily within reach. Whether it’s the T stop right outside your door, or the close proximity to the restaurants of Cleveland Circle, it’s all within walking distance. The location is far enough away from the usual locations of South Street so those looking for a quiet apartment away from parties should look no further. And, with the addition of the new Comm. Ave bus stop through B.C., the shuttle even stops on the corner right across the street, adding to the convenience. Any problems or concerns were quickly answered by Shira, and overall the experience living here was great."

John Robertson, Boston College, English & Linguistics Double Major - 2016

"5 Braemore road is a convenient residence for students with easy access to the B and C green line trains. I appreciated the fact that the place came furnished which allowed me to adjust to life off campus quickly. The Cleveland Circle neighborhood is also very pleasant with lots of amenities."

Jake Ishler, Berklee College of Music - 2016

"Coming from Mississippi to Boston, 5 Braemore was an ideal location. Shira helped make the transition as easy as possible. The apartment had everything I needed. The apartment is an ideal location from BC and the Reservoir!!!! The T was central located, which was ideal especially in the winter! Thanks for a great year!"

Taneasha Redmond, BC grad student, Social Work - 2016

"My experience at 5 Braemore Rd. has been awesome. The location is next to three different T lines so you can virtually get anywhere you need in Boston with no hassle. There is a beautiful Reservoir right down the street. Shira Levy was a big help and very responsive to anything that we needed help with. The apartment has everything you need! Thank you for everything over the past year and looking forward to another year in the apartment. Thank you!"

Tyler Schwartzman, Boston College - 2014

"As a Boston College student looking for an off-campus apartment, I could not have picked a better location to live than 5 Braemore. Within a five-minute walking distance, I could access the shuttle bus to the BC campus, three different T lines, more bus lines than I ever had need for, and all of the stores and restaurants in Cleveland Circle. Transportation in Boston can be difficult, and by choosing to live at 5 Braemore, I saved myself a lot of headaches. Shira herself was always very responsive to all of my phone calls and emails, and acted as an invaluable resource that I grew to appreciate over the year."
