We had the pleasure to stay at Lisa’s wonderful home for a couple of days. We absolutely loved the area! Jamaica Plains has a different vibe than the other places in Boston we’ve been, it’s very relaxed and very, very green! The arboretum (very close) must be the prettiest park in Boston (or the country). Lisa’s house has a big garden, and surrounding houses as well. Looking out the window it almost seems you’re somewhere in the countryside. I had to work a bit, which I did at a nice coffee place nearby, or on the couch on the porch. There’s plenty of nice restaurants, stores, bakeries, etc. nearby, Lisa has tons of good suggestions. The hat-store is absolutely amazing! Lisa herself is very kind, helpful and just a wonderful host. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is the water pressure on the shower. We can highly recommend staying at her place.
