Our experience with the Artist’s Retreat was terrific. Centrally located, it is only two blocks from the subway, and close to great restaurants, shops and parks. Also only one metro stop or 30-minute walk from the fabulous Arnold Arboretum.

Melissa was wonderful, warm and helpful! She gave us directions and a map of all the cool places to eat and visit in Jamaica Plain. The room has a comfortable bed, antique dresser and its own private bath. Melissa welcomed us into her house, which is nicely furnished and has lovely artwork on every wall. There is also a nice deck and table and chairs off the kitchen. We hope to be able to stay with her again the next time we are in Boston!
