Other highlights include the Minuteman Bikeway, an 11mi. path running through different communities, the Franklin Park Zoo, and the Venetian style former home of art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner, now a museum.
There are a range of modern, spacious apartments for vacation rental within walking distance of Berklee College of Music. The university campus area is in the heart of Boston, so if your family books for this location you'll be close to local amenities, nightlife, and a first-class music scene.
