Highly, highly recommend this lovely, comfortable apartment in Jamaica Plain. Visiting our daughter who lives nearby, we were looking for a place that could serve as a family hangout as well as a home base to explore the neighborhood and greater Boston. It was perfect.
Two comfortable bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen and pantry, washer/dryer, cozy and pleasant living room, dining table, two balconies and more— it was easy to feel at home away from home. You are a couple minutes walk from the Forest Hills transit center which is a hub for the T, buses and more. We had no need for a car in Boston. ( Recommend the Moovit app or MBTA website to help you with public transportation trip planning.) You’ll find a corner store, a place to buy wine and spirits, and the best restaurant meal on our trip (Brassica) just as close by. The Forest Hills cemetery can be reached at the end of the street and is a beautiful, interesting place to walk. The arboretum is also just a short walk away.
Kevin and Cheryl are helpful and generous hosts. Easy and responsive communication. We so appreciated their thoughtfulness and the little touches that make life easy for the traveler: Charlie cards we could borrow and top up for transit use; milk, frozen pizza, and other basics on hand so there was no need to scramble to find them on arrival, apartment and restaurant guide, and so much more.
