Unless I’m traveling with a large group, I lean towards private room for Airbnb. Value and opportunity are important to me. I have to say Francisco’s place is top of my list for all the places I’ve stayed.
Room: Bed was very comfortable with plenty of extra blankets for chilly nights. Very clean and I loved all the extra touches Francisco laid out. Water, granola bars, fruit and of course some chocolate for those with sweet tooth. It has almost a hotel room feel to it. Very well done.
Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, coffee, tea and even a few snacky items. I very much appreciated the hair dryer and dispensers for soap and shampoo in the bathroom.
Location: Jamaica Plains (JP for the locals) is a lovely eclectic neighborhood. I was quite happy the orange line and blue bikes are only a 10 minute walk to the Airbnb. Centre St is about a 15 minute walk away and has quite a variety of local and tasty restaurants.
Host: Communication with Francisco was spot on. Timely and all the information I needed to make my stay feel welcoming.
I will certainly seek this place again when I return.
