What can I write that others haven’t? Helen is a fantastic host, welcoming, knowledgeable, available to answer questions, yet very respectful of privacy. Jamaica Plain was a great location, only about 20minutes metro into the city and Helen provides a metro card so you just need to add credit to suit your purposes. Parking is available close to the house and good to have car option to explore further areas in New England. Restaurants and bars, as well as a supermarket are within 10minute walk. The apartment itself was immaculate. Very tastefully decorated with nice touches, like fresh flowers and the basics to get you started such as toiletries, juice, milk, butter, delicious pastry for breakfast. Bed was very comfortable, great closet and drawer space, plenty of local books, brochures and maps to help plan your itinerary, as well as a TV with huge array of channels. The only notable point for older or less mobile travellers to be aware of is the apartment is on 3rd floor so several flights of narrow curving stairs. Beautiful staircase and the wonderful hosts help with luggage but it wouldn’t be suitable for someone with mobility problems. All in all, I had a fantastic stay, even extending an additional night as I was enjoying the area so much and was so comfortable in the apartment at Jamaica Plain.
