This apartment is great! I stayed here for two months with my wife and daughter. The apartment is in good shape and secure. The owner is a very nice person and always ready for advice and help!! The location is perfect with the beautiful Arnold Arboretum (which is a nice place to spend your family Sunday) across the street and the Jamaica Pond (nice for running) a couple of blocks away. Jamaica plain has a small but nice center with a bunch of nice shops and restaurants. With our daughter we spent a lot of time at the nice playground there. Public transport to Boston is OK but sometimes slow; for example, at 7am the bus to Longwood medical area takes about 15 minutes but during rush hour this can easily be 45 minutes. The orange line requires a short walk but provides a perfect connection to downtown Boston. We would definitely return to this place!
