This is among my best AirBnB experiences, ever. JP is a vibrant neighborhood, full of non-chain shops. Jamaica Pond is a few blocks away, with beautiful biking and running trails connecting it with the rest of the emerald chain. It’s all an easy bus ride downtown, which matters if you’re here for work or to see the sites, but JP offers all you need for a nice stay. Penny’s place is super-comfortable, with the upstairs suite for guests and the main floor living room/kitchen shared. Best of all, Penny is a lovely host. We had engaging conversations my whole time, and she offered all sorts of tips. She’s just a wonderful person. My visit is what I like to think is everything that’s good about home stays.
