We loved our stay at Hilary's place! Hilary was great with communication, gave us some awesome local advice (plus a great folder full of info), and was a lot of fun to have a chat with. Her home is delightful and very comfortable. Jamaica Plain is a nice, quiet area, with plenty of good dining options - we highly recommend taking a walk to Jamaica Pond if you have time! Hilary's place was about a 5-7 minute walk to the Stony Brook MBTA station. Train service is very frequent and only takes about 12-15 mins to get into Downtown. If we come back to Boston we would love to stay with Hilary again!
