Maria's place is a wonderful oasis of calm in a cool, off-the-beaten-path neighborhood south of Boston's hectic center. Having stayed in other neighborhoods during previous visits to Boston (e.g. Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline), I found Jamaica Plain refreshingly green and spacious, and easily accessible to the rest of the city via public transit a few blocks from the house. The rental was immaculately clean, well-furnished, and comfortable. Maria provided detailed directions for check-in and check-out, and everything I would need in between. Her communication was clear and prompt, and I never had to wait or worry about anything. For someone looking for a relaxing alternative to a (definitely more expensive) hotel, I'd highly recommend this option. Super-close to Whole Foods, and so many good restaurants in the neighborhood. Thanks for the positive experience!
