The apartment is centrally located in JP with close access to both Jamaica Pond and the Harvard Arboretum. Nearby shops and restaurants supported the simple meals we made in the apartment. Dunster Street and the area are totally charming and good for leisurely walks.
Lovingly appointed with an eclectic mix of plants, furniture and rugs, it’s relaxing and comfortable. The apartment is very bright due to six skylights, so be sure to bring eyeshades if you want to sleep much past sunrise.
The geometry of the apartment takes some getting used to as it is like a ship or an airplane. With open movement in the center and cubby-like spaces at the sides, a comfy chair under a skylight becomes a wonderful space to read.
Be cautious when coming up the two flights to the apartment. The stairs are quite narrow and steep. It’s a challenge to get a heavy suitcase up the stairs.
The beds were very comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and there were many small welcoming touches.
We enjoyed our stay very much, and the hostess was quite pleasant and very responsive to any requests and communication.
