Miriam’s place was great! Her brother kindly welcomed us and showed us around the apartment, which is cozy and feels just like home. It had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay, including a little kitchen with a coffee maker, and an AC. The bathroom was SO clean, and it was nice they had extra shampoo/conditioner for us light packers. All in all, a well-stocked place. They even bought bagels and orange juice for us!
Jamaica Plain is a great location outside the craziness of downtown Boston. The T is definitely within a short walking distance away, as are cute restaurants, including a Scottish pub nearby.
The separate entrance was the nicest feature of the place, because it allowed us to come back after a late dinner quietly without disturbing the family that lives next door/upstairs.
I will recommend my family to stay here when they're in town!
