Lisa and John were such lovely, good-hearted people. I can't say enough how they made me feel right at home. I stayed there for a week while looking for apartments. There were a few special favors I needed to request of them that would've been completely within their rights to decline, but they went above and beyond to welcome me to the great city of Boston (free computer charging service! Haha). I would definitely recommend a friend to stay with them.
The location is a very easy walk to public transportation and restaurants etc. Jamaica plain is a beautiful, quiet town with a lot of personality.
It took one flight of stairs to get to my room, and they had everything I needed to feel comfortable- toiletries, towels, dresser. I especially liked the lights directly over the bed :) The bed was good, and that's saying a lot since I have a really bad back and rarely can sleep on a bed that's not mine.
The bathroom is shared and I never had to wait more than a minute to use it. The cats do tend to like to sneak into your room if you don't keep it closed, which I found adorable :) but it is something to be aware of.
