We loved our Jamaica Plain VRBO. Margaret was very accessible, her home was very comfortable, and we loved the area. There was a nearby park for morning walks, several walking distance eateries and grocery stores, and the commuter train station was just a few blocks away, making it easy to get in to Boston or head over to Harvard. The neighborhood was very friendly and easy to navigate. I would definitely stay at Margaret's home again.

The property is an older, occupied home. The owner's personal effects can be found throughout, such as clothes under the beds and books and papers on the bookshelves in the bedrooms. We cooked a few meals, and it was nice to have kitchen basics, as well as ground coffee and tea bags, provided. It was conveniently located near a bus stop to Prudential Center and the Orange line on the T. Parking is on the street only, but we found spots near the house and mostly took public transportation.

To visitors: the City only allows short term rentals by permanent residents who open their homes to guests. It's part of Boston's charm to stay in our carefully restored historical dwellings. If you want new, look for a rental outside of the City proper.

Ideal for group of old friends to get together and do some Boston events where we all went to college in the early 1980s. Great, quiet neighborhood with easy walk to Orange Line.

Perfect place for our family vacation. Loved the location, all the amenities, easy check-in and checkout and friendly host. The only thing to mention for young families are that the stairs are very steep for infants. Host had baby gate and large playpen which helped.
