Esther and Ann's place was a perfect base for our week-long visit to Jamaica Plain and Brookline . It offered easy walking access to both of our daughter's homes, the arboretum, Jamaica Pond, and the arboretum. Despite the 90+ degree weather the room stayed cool with a ceiling and window fan. I particularly enjoyed the patio for outdoor breakfasts with the birds.Great granola and coffee , too. Esther and Ann were kind enough to park elsewhere to accommodate our large van in the parking area. They were easily accessed but did not intrude. They were attentive to our needs and we had a great stay.
