The house matched the photos, was spacious. Our first time using AirBnB not sure how this would go. His 3 ring binder did have a great deal of helpful information. We had a party of 6 in town for a wedding. Unfortunately we had a miss communication about the TV's and cable. We had planned to watch the World Cup games in our down time. The house had it pro's and con's. The main living area and bedrooms were clean. The bathroom only had one hand towel. When we arrived there was two bars of opened used soap in the shower. The freezer was filthy dirty and full of food, some of the countertops had stains.
He did leave us 6 different colored bathroom towels. Poor quality, half of them were stained and smelled spoiled so we just shared among the family.
Location was great for our needs in Jamaica Plains. Easy to walk to the necessary locations. But like other people have noted, it's tricky when ordering cabs because of the funky address, access and roundabout. Depending on where you need to travel this might or might not be an issue. You do need to cross the road 4 times (because of the roundabout) and two of the crosswalks are on curves and the traffic moves very quickly (40 MPH). If you have children or elderly people I would take this into consideration. The Orange Line stop is quit a distance away, at least 1 mile. Pack sneakers to walk because Emmanuel is not very forthcoming on the distance to all the restaurants, shops and grocery stores. We did enjoyed our stay.
