About the area

Boston

Located on a lake, this condo is in Roxbury, a neighbourhood in Boston. Boston Harbor and Boston Marathon Finish Line are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Harvard Square and Newbury Street. Consider Encore Boston Harbor for a night out, and don't miss New England Aquarium, a top local attraction. Power boating and sailing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and hiking nearby.

Quaint neighborhood close to orange line

Nice two bedroom home. Short walk to subway line. Short walk to Sam Adam's brewery and Turtle Swamp brewery. Very quiet place to stay. Check in easy. Host asks that shoes not be worn inside to protect the beautiful hardwood floors.

Just like home!

Catherine's home was comfortable, clean, and spacious for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids under 5. We enjoyed cooking every day, and there was plenty of space to spread out the kids' toys and books. The neighborhood is leafy and walkable, and there's a lovely playground just around the corner that we spent time at nearly every afternoon. Catherine is very communicative and provided everything we needed to be comfortable - would definitely come back!

Great spot in Boston!

This was a really great spot - we were here for just a short stay, but everything was super easy and communicating with Catherine was a pleasure. My parents were very comfortable and the neighborhood is great. There's even a subway stop nearby that will be useful once the pandemic is behind us!

Dennis and Connie were lovely guests, and advance communication (via Matthew) was easy. All were very respectful of property and other residents of the house.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Bent

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Catherine, a musician and college professor. I love traveling, reading, cooking, and outdoor activities. I'm from the UK originally, and besides Boston I have lived in New York City and Rio de Janeiro. I've been in Jamaica Plain since 2007 and love the parks, the variety of local small businesses, and the diverse community. I think you will too! BLM and LGBTQ+ ally.

Why they chose this property

This is a typical Jamaica Plain 3-storey house, 100 years old, simple and comfortable. It has new heat and AC systems (2018), and nice renovations throughout. There is a sweet park on the corner, where my friends and I play music in the warmer months, next to a playground and a medical clinic. An array of local parks (5-10 minutes walk away) make up Boston's Emerald Necklace, for endless exploration and tranquility within sight of Downtown. The picture above is of Jamaica Pond, a beautiful lake within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

If you want access to a piano, there is a 7' Bechstein available for rental. Ask host in advance.
