CAUTION: You May Not Want To Leave! =) This home is such a delightful place! We stayed 5 nights and felt completely at home having this spacious 2nd floor suite to ourselves! Our family of four (3 adults and a 10 y/o) settled in and found ourselves spending more time here than planned because it's that delightful and comfortable. Marianne was able to greet us. She was constantly responsive to our questions, plus gave us several great recommendations for local cuisine and info. Jamaica Plain (JP) is a decent area with plenty of retail and dining, plus a small grocery just over a block away from the house. This comes in REAL handy for food, fixins, fresh veggies and meats, plus any extra provisions you need. We got a 7-Day T pass that allowed us to ride buses, subways, etc. around the area and into Boston. A bus stop is just a 3 min stroll up the block and two T subway stations are within a 10 minute walk. (We also used Lyft a few times, and they had no trouble finding the place.) We felt safe walking around and being in JP. There was a bit more street-level noise on Friday and Saturday evenings - which isn’t unusual for anywhere, but it was very quiet all other nights. Getting to DT Boston via subway is about 20 minutes - maybe longer during busy times (or if there’s ‘maintenance’ being done; check www.mtba.com for service alerts in advance). Two bedrooms are on the west end, with a bath (incl. shower) and kitchen in the middle. On the east end is the living room and dining room. The living room works fine as a private bedroom with closable doors to the hall and dining room. The L-shaped couch comfortably sleeps one person of any age. There’s space for a palette on the floor for a second person. Being on the east end, it gets the first sunlight of the day. (Presently, the windows in the house have curtains but no shades or blinds.) Overall, it can can comfortably accommodate 3 (maybe 4) adults or 5 people with 2-3 adults max (as there’s one bathroom). Though central air is not common in homes in the north, our floor had 2 window AC units plus fans. We kept comfortable, and the generally cooler New England night air helped keep us cool and comfortable (in August). The water here is soft (your hair will love you) and very clean, fresh-tasting out of the tap and makes great ice. The appliances were ideal for snacks and meals (gas range, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker), too. There’s a good supply of cups, plates, dinnerware, pots and pans, too. But hey, the pizza in the area is delicious. (And, Elvis keeps an eye on all things in the kitchen...) As this is an older New England home, part of its charm is its age - which does include a few creaky floors and steps (and, spoiler alert - a...
