Our familiy of 5 rented Emmanuels place for 5 weeks in June/July. The location of the house is the biggest asset, perfect for exploring Boston and the surrounding Jamaica Plain community. It is located close to a busy round-about, but the house is spacious, convenient and family friendly. The house has a very nice back garden which the kids enjoyed to play in. Emmanuel was a great host being both service mined and pleasant to interact with. He was also patient with the kids who probably made a lot of noice, this was important to us as he also lives in the house. We were not aware of this upon arrival, but it was no problem for us throughout the stay. Overall we would recommend this house for others to rent.
