Our hosts made us feel very welcome. We were a little late coming in due to traffic, and they were gracious about it. The apartment itself was bright and spacious. The room is in the back of the apartment and affords a lot of privacy, something not all places have. The neighborhood is on a somewhat secluded street off the main drag in Jamaica Plain, so it was quieter than I expected. Nice two and three family homes with nicely kept yards and gardens. T station a quarter mile walk away. All in all, we felt very safe.
