Jil's beautiful house isn't an Airbnb as much as it is a welcoming home worth going out of one's way to visit. From the moment you walk in the front door, the decades of character and the stories behind each piece of vintage furniture and classic design choice are readily apparent. Classic, Grand and Cozy are the words that come to mind.

The apartment in question is a self-enclosed wing of the house, with it's own private side entrance, kitchenette bathroom and use of washing machine. Jil and her family live on the other side of the house, so you have as much privacy as you would want, although hanging out with them is much more of a good time.

It's in the hipster Jamaica Plains neighborhood not far from downtown so you have peace, quiet and lots of great eating along with accessibility to the hustle and bustle.

And free street parking! (The only street in the neighborhood, and what seems like all of Boston that offers it)

Jil and her family are the most welcoming hosts I've ever had and I recommend this place to anyone looking not just for a place to sleep at night, but a home visit, and even friends
