We were first time Airbnb users and were thrilled with the experience. I had questions about the Transit system in Boston and Kristina emailed us back right away. She also kept in contact up until our arrival. Chris and Kristina left the key and their number to reach them if needed. We met up with them later in the day. They are very warm and hospitable hosts. Informing us of a local music festival that was going on in the neighborhood that weekend. The apartment was perfect. It has a private entrance and is decorated so nicely. So many amenities!!! It really is a home away from home. They thought of everything. We will definitely come back! The people of Jamaica Plain are friendly and creative. We enjoyed the support of Community throughout the neighborhood. The stores and restaurants display local artists works. JP is a beautiful area with classic Victorian homes. Each one unique. The area is safe. We took the train back to the apartment from the city at midnight and felt completely secure walking through the neighborhood. JP is only about a 20 minute ride into downtown Boston from the Stony Brook T station. So convenient...you can park for free on the streets of JP. No parking permit necessary. Hop on the T with a Charlie card ( for only 19.00 for the week)its good on the T and busses. You can basically get to anywhere in the city and that includes transfers to any of the T lines. Honestly...the best Boston trip ever! THANKS
