Hilary's little house was a delight in the quirky and independent neighbourhood of Jamaica Plain. Just a short walk from Stony Brook T stop it was easy to get to and about a half hour ride from downtown.

Hilary herself was away for the majority of the weekend which meant we had the luxury of the house to ourselves. When we did see her she was nothing but lovely giving us recommendations and having a genuine interest in what we'd been doing and where we'd gone.

The room is relatively small but this doesn't pose a huge problem as when you're on holiday you want to be out and about a lot anyway! There's a fan installed in the window so it stayed pretty cool on hot nights too.
