Jay is a great host and super-responsive. His tip about SpotHero was great! We were driving to Boston as a family of four and he helped us save money for exploring and dinner. The neighborhood is perfect as a homebase. It is walkable to the Museum of Science, Boston, TD Garden, Mass General, great restaurants in Beacon Hill, ice cream at JP Licks, and Whole Foods across the street and up a block. My kids loved a pocket-park playground that is around the corner with an "awesome" play set and great benches for relaxing.
The apartment is small and tidy and very clean. There is a well-stocked kitchen for simple meals and a full size fridge. We now have a favorite way to visit Boston. We hope to visit Jay's place again.
