About Jane Bowers
I've spent pretty much all my long adult life in Boston, active in local affairs and working with community based nonprofit organizations. As a lover of this city, I am proud and pleased to help others enjoy its many charms.
Why Jane Bowers chose Boston
This house, renovated quite completely in 2004, is a wonderful base for me in the lovely Jamaica Plain neighborhood, and is fully accessible for wheelchair users. It is my own residence and I rent the house out when I travel, especially to visit my sons & grandson.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(28 traveler reviews)
A beautiful house we instantly felt at home even 3500 miles from it.
Well described in the advert we needed space and wheelchair access and we got both. Access to Boston by train was superb and so easy house is a 10 minute walk away. A good location .
Home away from home
Excellent space everything provided including the garden .
Fabulous Boston property - in Jamaica Plain
It was a great house -- more like staying at your own home rather than in a vacation rental property. There were spices, flour, sugar, and a Kitchenmaid mixer, and some great pans. Jane was wonderful, calling or texting us immediately for answers to questions. The area is eclectic -- lot of ethnic restaurants within walking distance, I counted at least 10 different ethnic cuisines, and was thrilled to find a restaurant called Grass Fed. Whole Foods and CVS were within walking distance. There is also a lovely lake with beautiful, stately mansions across from the lake. It was about a mile wide, and we took walks, along with other people, jogging, walking, etc.
"Home away from home"
Jane Bower's home was charming and exceeded our expectations! We loved staying there, and it quickly became, a"home away from home" The house was clean, light, well maintained and well supplied. It was very comfortable. We were able to enjoy a full day of sight -seeing, knowing that we could return to all the comforts of home,(full kitchen wonderful showers , in a beautifully maintained neighborhood.
Homey, Quiet and Comfortable
Lovely area, beautiful park down the street, Whole Foods and great Cuban food in walking distance. Stony Brook subway station was a comfortable walk and the bus stop to Fenway was very close. The house itself was comfortable and spacious, with a big, beautiful back yard.
Great Accessible Home Away from Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jane's wonderful home. It was completely wheel chair accessible for our daughter and very comfortable for the entire family. We enjoyed having friends over for dinner since we rarely can visit their homes. The location was perfect. We took public transportation everywhere! We'll have to go back so that we can enjoy Jamaica Plain, the trails around the lake and her beatiful back yard. Thank You!
