This Airbnb is nestled in the trees on a quiet, friendly residential street in Jamaica Plain ~ a delightful combination of green space, small town and easy urban access. A 5-min. walk to the Orange T line (and 39 bus) provides a straight shot to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, Back Bay/Boston Commons, shopping, restaurants, music, historic sites and more. Also walk to Harvard’s Arboretum, Jamaica Pond and JP’s main streets for ethnic restaurants, groceries, library, shops, breweries and artisan events. The zoo or perhaps a free Boston Pops concerts in Franklin Park are further walks but doable just the same. Depending on one’s plans and with this Airbnb’s walkability and transit options, a car really isn’t really necessary.
This spacious and uncluttered Airbnb spreads over two floors (a bath and 2 bedrooms on each). The back of its 1st floor is walled with windows, a perfect spot for its large work table, light-filled and well-equipped kitchen, large dining table and furnished deck. The comfortable and welcoming living area in the front of the condo is stocked with a varied collection of movies, books and music (those for children not forgotten).
Host Tricia is a genuine joy—warm, welcoming and readily available and helpful while also graciously respectful of one’s privacy. My husband and I (and visiting son/girlfriend from Australia) stayed here for a month while renovating a condo nearby. We enjoyed its wonderful amount of space and truly loved every minute. We recommend it enthusiastically!
