We enjoyed staying at Jessica's place, the street is quiet, we felt safe. We found some nice restaurants nearby. However, I would have liked to know a few things before I went so I'll write them here. First, I picked this place for the ocean view, yes, I think it was the ocean that I was looking at through a little sliver of space between a tree and a house, but it was too far off in the distance to be sure. I don't doubt that it is the ocean but if you're having visions of sitting on the little deck watching the waves or the ships this will not happen.
The listing says that it is close to mass transit, the T station is about 1/2 a mile away, the last 2 blocks of that is up a very steep hill.
We did find a coffee maker on top of the refrigerator but the only coffee was instant decaf. I could have bought my own coffee and filters but I also would have to clear off counter space (which was sparse and seemed precarious) in order to make the coffee. She does have a few varieties of tea and LOTS of different ways to boil water in the apartment so if that's your thing you'll be happy. We just went down to Honeycomb Cafe for coffee and breakfast. It was delicious. When you get there someone may have left better coffee so don't think of this as a reason not to stay.
The apartment was cute, nothing really special but after a day of exploring Boston. it was a nice place to come home to. We found it very comfortable and slept well. I think it would have been too crowded for 4 people but it was a great size for the 2 of us.
We had dinner at Savin Hill Restaurant one night and it was wonderful. I highly recommend it and it's walking distance to the apartment.
Jasper, the housekeeper, was great at explaining where everything was while showing us around the apartment. He was very sweet.
It was simple to get to the area of the apartment via mass transit (Silver line to the Red Line outbound, exit at Savin Hill, walk up the hill). This also made it convenient​ to get into Boston to see the sites.
