Penny is a generous and attentive host. Her place in JP is superb. You'll see trees from your bed and you are at 1 min from a buzzing street plenty of independent shops and small restaurants with good reputation. You have pond and 2 parks close-by and transport to more central Boston are very easy (Boston is not that big). There are city-bikes and yoga studios. What can you ask more? Yes, A/C in the house. You also have that. I would not hesitate to stay here again and JP at larger is a good bases for Boston and surrounding.
