I found this listing while trying to find an affordable option to stay for s month while doing daily treatments at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I was away from home and family, which was very hard, but Jil was more than a host, she was a reference and always available to me and my family which was above and beyond my expectations. The home is walking distance to downtown Jamaica Plain with coffee houses and restaurants and on the 39 bus line which was almost door to door to the hospital in 15 minutes by bus. The stop for the 39 at the hospital also provides a green line T stop that gets in to all the fun spots in downtown Boston in about another 15 minutes; you could take the bus, but the T is faster. The house is a work of art and love and is being further renovated. It provided a welcoming shelter in a time of great need for me, but it’s a great affordable alternative to staying right downtown and Jamaica Plain is a great tourist spot in its own right, Uber was also easily available to get to the movies and mall if the weather is dicey.
