I really enjoyed staying w/ Maria Elena. She welcomed me and showed me around the apartment and gave me recommendations on places to visit while I was in Boston. We didn't bump into each other during the rest of my stay, but we "chatted" by leaving notes and she checked in to see if I had any concerns or questions. The apartment is a studio apartment style but was private and cozy. Having a refrigerator and dishes was convenient for me. My only advice for future guests is to be aware the apartment is on the third floor of their house and that wi-fi connectivity can be spotty in older houses such as hers. (Maria mentions this in her listing and is working on improving their wi-fi.) I really enjoyed the neighborhood (Jamaica Plain); their house and the neighborhood has a lot of character! I enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants, a grocery store, and a T station. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for a nice stay, Maria!
