Elena's apartment is very well equipped and you will feel right at home immediately upon arrival. Location is very convenient to Jamaica Plain shops, restaurants, Whole Foods, CVS, a and T stop. A run around the pond is a great way to start the morning! I stayed here a week while I was in town for work and this was exactly what I needed. This is a house so if there are guests in the other units, you may hear them but nothing was obtrusive or disturbing during my stay. If you have a car, parking can be a little difficult, as with being in most major cities, but I was able to find free parking on the days I needed it, and as previously stated, this unit is in a very walkable neighborhood with a metro station close by so a car is certainly not necessary. I was in town for a bit of a cold spell, otherwise I would have enjoyed some time on the deck as well!
