Maria was an excellent Host! She was available when needed, but you are very private in her Treetop Haven, and you can spend most of your stay without even noticing that there are other people in the home. The apartment was clean and tidy when I arrived, and the weather was nice for the first 2 weeks, so I could take advantage of the lovely rooftop area, which was like getting an additional room. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Boston without a car, as the T is just two short blocks away. A few blocks in the other direction is Jamaica Pond, a gorgeous park with a walking path around Jamaica Pond. So beautiful for a walk! And the neighborhood is full of restaurants and convenient to both Whole Foods and a lower-priced grocery store. The only drawback is the size of the apartment. I stayed for several weeks, so I really missed having a full sized fridge and a real closet. But for the price and the location in a very expensive town, I'd totally recommend Treetop Haven for shorter stays.
