Antoinette and Louis gave us the perfect introduction to Airbnb. Always helpful and accommodating, yet never intrusive, they gave us a stay to remember in their beautiful upstairs suite. It is private and extremely well-appointed. No fancy hotel could have been better.

Antoinette cares about the finest details in outfitting the guest quarters, using fine linens and--would you believe--even providing a magnifying mirror in the bathroom! I always miss mine when traveling. :-)

The location is a short walk from all that the best part of Jamaica Plain has to offer. We enjoyed many fine restaurants, boutique shops, thrift stores, an antique store, and walking around the Arboretum and Jamaica Pond.

Our bank was right nearby, and Whole Foods is a goodly walk or a short drive up Centre Street. Oh, and do go a few extra blocks to try The Blue Nile [Ethiopian Restaurant] sometime during your stay. It's worth getting in the car for a short drive, but if you choose to stay on the main shopping area on Centre, I'll not hold you to blame. We could easily have done just that.

Also, do enjoy the lovely cottage gardens surrounding the house, and the front porch, and the ample parking if you drive. Oh, there is just too much to like about this place.
