About this property
Airy new apt for 2-6. Off-street parking. Walk to shops/restaurants/subway/bus
Base rate is for two guests. "Extra guest" charge is $50/night for each guest in addition to the first two.
Our sparkling new addition includes two entirely separate and private spaces connected by a set of stairs and sharing a common foyer.
Downstairs: Accessed directly from the mudroom, a large queen bedroom with armoire, full mirror, full bath, mini-fridge, microwave and electric teapot for boiling water. Keyless entry is via personal code.
Upstairs: living room, twin bedroom, fold-out queen couch, full kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, 1.5 baths.
The apartment is attached to our house. We built it in 2021 for Pauline's parents, so it includes all the comforts of home, including individual A/C and heating units, high-speed internet, and skylights with remotely controlled shades. Ceilings are high and there is lots of natural light.
The mudroom/ entrance is a shared space and our access to our washer dryer in the basement.
We do whatever it takes to keep this welcoming, spacious apartment well-maintained and sparkling clean. We’ve decorated and equipped it as if for our own use, with hi-speed WI-FI, mini-split A/C and heat, plenty of kitchen tools, fluffy towels and crisp sheets. There is a Pak'n'Play crib and a high chair available if you need one; there's a children's playground about 100 yards down the street.
Jamaica Plain is a hip neighborhood of Boston. All its charming shops, cafés, pubs and diverse restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house; nearby too there are bakeries, a brewery, a library, running and bike paths, parks, Jamaica Pond (actually a 68-acre lake), and Harvard University’s Arboretum, a 280-acre natural preserve and botanical research center in the heart of the city.
You’ll feel perfectly comfortable and at home as you head out from this quiet oasis to explore one of the world’s most interesting cities!
A car is not necessary to enjoy all the great city of Boston has to offer, but if you drive there is free, off-street parking for two cars.
The Green Street stop on the Orange Line of Boston's subway system (we call it the 'T') is just a block away. And bus line #39, a 6-minute walk up the street, will take you to the Longwood Medical area, the Museum of Fine Arts, Copley Square, the Boston Public Garden and Faneuil Hall.
Or you can rent a city bicycle either on Center Street or at the “T” station and ride all the way to Back Bay along the Southwest Corridor biking path and jogging park.

About the host
Hosted by Woody and Pauline Halsey
We moved to France when Woody retired in 2011 so that our twin daughters could learn French and gain an international perspective. The Boston house was our base when we were in the US to see our extended family in New England and California. Now we live here full-time and rent the beautiful apartment we created for Pauline's parents. `We chose Jamaica Plain because Woody's sister and brother-in-law raised their children there; over the years we too have come to love its energy, green spaces, restaurants and super-convenient location.
Why they chose this property
Boston has something for everyone. History, monuments, music and museums. But also professional sports, public gardens and a lively restaurant scene. Boston is home to cutting-edge hospitals, a world renowned symphony and 60 colleges and universities, including MIT and Harvard.
What makes this property unique
Great space, great light, great location. Wonderful restaurants and all necessities are in easy walking distance. No need for a car, but off-street parking if you bring one (or two).

English, French, Italian, Spanish
