Megan's place was exactly as described - photos were accurate. Jamaica Plain, is a hipt, progressive, quirky community, very pedestrian friendly, with lots of interesting stores and restaurants. The area also offers plenty of green space to enjoy. We were attending performances of a play at Northeastern University and found transportation and navigation pretty straightforward (public transit; ride share options or even walking). The apartment is charming, and Megan and Chris were gracious, helpful hosts. This was our first time sharing an apartment with hosts and we found it to be less awkward or intrusive than we anticipated. Check-in was super easy, and we were actually able to arrive way earlier than (I imagine) if we had a place of our own. This place might not be suitable for those folks with mobility or health issues, as the apartment is on the fourth floor of a non-elevator building. Parking is relatively easy to find within a one to three block radius of the building.
