Our accommodations were great. Cozy and comfortable. We just had to cut our stay short due to personal reasons. Our host Francisco was the best! Very attentive, responsive and pleasant to deal with.
Owner went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend

Thank you for your kind words about the house, I truly appreciate it. I was a bit surprised by your impression of Jamaica Plain. It’s actually one of Boston’s most vibrant neighborhoods, with wonderful restaurants, beautiful parks, and fun community events throughout the year.
Over the last 7 years, I’ve hosted many single professional women who come back again and again because they love the welcoming atmosphere, the diversity, and the lively energy of the area. I’m sorry you didn’t get to experience that side of JP during your stay, but I hope you enjoyed your time in Boston overall.
Warm regards,
Francisco
We really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was very walkable and the property was secure with easy street parking. When visiting Boston we will definitely stay here again.

The place was perfect for me - I wanted to be in Jamaica Plain and the house is well-located. It's a basement apartment, nicely finished, with ample heat and kitchen/bathroom facilities. Very kind owner - I highly recommend staying here!

I'm happy to hear that the place was perfect for you and that you enjoyed your stay in Jamaica Plain! It's great to know that you found everything you needed. Thank you for your kind words about me as the owner, and for recommending the place. You are most welcome anytime, and I would be more than happy to host you again in the future.
Was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host did a great job of prepping the space for us on arrival. The atmosphere was great and we enjoyed a complimentary bottle of wine. Easy check in. Short walking distance to the Green St T station and multiple bus stops on Washington St, so it was really easy to get into the city. Would stay here again for sure.
Property was exactly as advertised. It was clean, well-stocked with amenities and extra toiletries, had an excellent kitchen and pantry area to buy snacks if needed. Owner was very responsive and made sure everything ran smoothly. Would recommend to friends

We're glad you took advantage of Boston's excellent public transportation to explore the Freedom Trail, aquarium, and Fenway.
We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Boston!
I had a little trouble with the combination locks, but Francisco was very responsive and friendly. I stayed in a cozy basement suite with a kitchen and bathoom, with a large shower. There was a fan, plenty of light, and an array of snacks. Quite pleasant.

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at this property. The neighborhood is delightful and close to the train. The place was perfectly clean, and I was very impressed with the attention to the smallest detail. What meant the most to me was the communication from the property owner. Instructions were timely and very thorough. I really appreciated the checkins at points during our stay. The owner showed great care in our satisfaction. Thank you for a great stay!

Stay in Basement
Ok even though it was a basement it was nice but the only complaint I have as that we had to drag our luggage down a spiral staircase to the basement which was a little challenging to if they are going to rent to older adults they may want to let them know this before locking in your stay as we are physically fit and if your not could be a problem maybe show a picture of the stairs so they will know if this is for them or not

Dear Patti,
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with me.
I always strive to ensure my guests have a comfortable stay, which is why I make it a point to check in throughout their visit. I sent messages after your check-in, mid-stay, and prior to your check-out to ensure everything was going smoothly and to offer assistance. I apologize if these didn’t reach you or if there was any difficulty during your stay, as I would have been more than happy to help.
Regarding the stairs, you bring up a great point. While the room is designed to be comfortable with its own private bathroom and kitchenette, the spiral staircase can be challenging for some guests. This is why I generally do not recommend the space for families with young children or individuals with mobility concerns. I will certainly consider including more details about the stairs in the listing, including a photo, to ensure future guests are fully informed before booking.
Thank you again for staying with me, and I appreciate your understanding.
Best regards,
Francisco
To start off with we were supposed to receive our check instructions on September 8 which we did not receive. On September 10 I emailed Francisco and informed him that I was not getting my emails regularly and I gave him also my phone number and asked him to text me the instructions on how to check in. On September 11, the day we were supposed to check in I called him at 2:13 PM and he returned my call at 2:19 with the check-in instructions after that or communication was fine On Thursday, my car was towed because it was parked on the street that they were cleaning that day We did not arrive there till late on Wednesday and did not see any signs about the parking It was $168 towing and penalty for parking. There should be information about the parking on the street and alerting you to the street cleaning and towing at the rental property. We were not the only guest who were towed that day a mother and daughter who were from Columbia were also towed The other issue I had was with the TV. All you could do was stream programs. I did call Francisco up and he responded but was not much help He told me that after people leave that he noticed that they can get regular television like ABC CBS and NBC, but we tried everything under the sun and could not get The stations we wanted to watch Francisco cannot help us because he said he does not watch much TV. My rating for this place is a seven because of the issues that we had Or otherwise, it would be a 10
Property is in Jamaica Plain close to the orange T Line for easy access to Boston Downtown. Francisco is the perfect host and although he doesn’t live in the property, was always available. Even provided us with English breakfast tea and cookies . We had the downstairs room which was large and comfortable but did lack natural light. Overall we had a lovely stay
