Adorable upstairs private apartment with friendly host.
This entire floor upstairs apartment is located in Jamaica Plain, a quaint hilly neighborhood surrounded by parks. The nearby neighborhood of Roslindale has a small downtown area filled with cafes (check out Sofia's Grotto and Birch St. Bistro), wine and cheese shops, a brewery and more. We lucked out and arrived for the weekend of the Roslindale Artist Studio tour, which was a delight, and which we probably would have overlooked if not for our very nice host, Cathy.
The apartment itself is spacious and filled with light. You will feel just like you're at home. Cathy was nice enough to let us use her basement laundry room.
This is not a Central Boston location but it offers the feel of being in a real Boston neighborhood. You can drive downtown, and an Uber is $15-20. This place is also near a train station though we didn't have time to check that out.
