See Downtown Crossing subletsFurnished homes you can book for an internship in Boston.
The earlier someone books, the more homes they have to choose from, and the better prices go first.
In January, 36 interns started looking for a June move-in, and 60 new homes were listed. By May, 446 interns started looking in a single month, against 115 new homes, about 4 interns for every new home. When demand outpaces supply, more interns compete for each home, and the best-priced homes are the first to go. Booking before that rush gets you more choice at better prices.
Only June 2026 move-ins are counted. New homes are listings that could cover a June move-in, counted in the month they were first published. Interns searching are people looking for a June move-in on Ohana, counted once, in the month they first searched or messaged a host.
A summer internship is a fixed set of dates, not a year-long lease. The interns who settle in calmly are the ones who match housing to those dates, pick a neighborhood they can commute from, and book while there are still homes to choose from. On Ohana, Morgan Stanley interns rent furnished rooms and apartments from people who already live in Boston, for the months of the program rather than a hotel rate.
Internship offers often name a season first and the real start and end dates later. Morgan Stanley interns get those two dates in writing, then look for a stay that covers them with a day or two on either side. Arriving before the first morning leaves time to unpack and ride the commute once with no clock running. Leaving a day after the last day avoids a same-day move. If the program shifts the dates, change the stay then, while the listing is still yours.
