First of all, I should explain that my experience was not literally my experience; I live in Boston myself but did the booking for my parents that don't speak any English. Robert's place looks great, it's a beautiful house, really clean, greatly decorated, perfect environment for people wanting comfort and cleanness in a relaxed environment. My parents really liked the room and Robert not only was understanding of their poor English skills, but embraced our brazilianism trying out his own Portuguese skills, he's a great guy! About the neighborhood, I live in Jamaica Plain myself and love it, it's got tons of cool places to eat, parks and ponds around and an awesome and relaxed environment with easy access to downtown Boston, perfect for students or turists that don't want to pay ridiculous amounts of money to stay downtown and stay in a place that, in my opinion, is more fun and less busy.
Robert é uma ótima pessoa, e para todos os brasileiros aí afora pensando em visitar Boston, ele tem uma conexão com o Brasil e se divertiu usando seus português. Recomendo!
