This was a return visit for me to Jil's apartment and it was just as satisfying as last time. The room and the views of the neighbouring houses from the room have a wonderful sense of peace about them. (There's occasionally some airplane noise in Jamaica Plain when the wind is in certain directions, but for the most part that wasn't the case.) Although there's a common entrance to the home itself, the stairway to the first floor landing is right inside the door and that staircase and the room, bathroom and the landing outside of both of these on the first floor have been completely private in both the two week stays I have had here, which is what I was seeking. Nevertheless, I also had a couple of lovely conversations with Jil when I bumped into her outside the house. If you stay here and have time, take some walks around JP and use the amenities. I loved the neighborhood.
