Staying at Fabien's is like staying with your cool cousin. She has great taste and her apartment feels welcoming and cozy. We loved trying out all of the different chairs and seating options and admiring the art. We felt free to use the kitchen and sit at the dining table to eat. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are spacious, with Boston guide books handy. One rainy night, we sat at the dining table and completed a puzzle! The location is great for taking the bus, and a 10-12 minute walk to the subway on lovely side streets, walking at a good pace. There a couple of shops along the way, too, and you are near the main street of Jamaica Plain, which is convenient for dining or shopping. One day we followed the signs to the pond, which is worth the walk. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed getting to know Fabien when we happened to be there at the same time. Bring a sleep mask if you are light-sensitive, as you get the sky light from the big windows. We had a great time and appreciated Fabien's kindness and generosity with her coffee and fruit!
