The space is compact but practical. What sets it apart are the host and location! Eileen was very patient with checking us in early and answering my questions, and even offered to provide a crib for my baby - and didn't bat an eye when the baby didn't like it and had it out the next day! She happily answered questions and provided tips about the neighborhood.
The area is lovely - beautiful houses, an easy walk to gorgeous Jamaica Pond, just a few blocks from the metro station, and right around the corner from a bakery! Lots of restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance, as well as a fancy grocery store; Whole Foods is a short walk. We really enjoyed our time in Jamaica Plains and wish we could have stayed longer!
