If the Jamaica Plain location of Evelyn's house works for your needs, you shouldn't think twice about booking space in her home. The house is at the end of a short quiet street in an old established part of JP. While the immediate area is residential, it is only a fe blocks from the burgeoning commercial evolution of this neighborhood. Since it is served well by the T, if you want to just leave your car in a street spot by her house, you could spend the rest of your stay without dealing with the challenges of driving and parking in Boston.
The house is a lovely, comfortable old JP 3-story from the early 1900s. The room is not so much on the top floor as it is the top floor. The bedroom is very pleasant and good sized. The bathroom, as others have mentioned, is quite large and very comfortable. Having a floor to oneself makes the stay seem very private.
Evelyn is a very engaging interesting woman who went out of her way to take care of my dog and me. Her Dog Kobe is socially comfortable and made both my dog and me feel welcome as well. There is even a fenced yard for the dogs if they want to be outside when you aren't walking them.
Not being a breakfast eater I didn't take much advantage of what Evelyn provided but the coffee was great every morning and each night when I returned from my evening with friends nearby, she offered a glass of wine and interesting chat.
I highly recommend this host and her property. This was my first Airbnb experience and it certainly encouraged me to check it out again.
