Super-responsive and communicative and even offered to allow us to check out late at no charge. Immaculate and roomy, walking distance to coffee, Whole Foods and neighborhood conveniences
Real three bedroom, with living room, dining room and kitchen with 2nd table. Worked great for us, we were able to have breakfast then head out every day to play in Boston.
1.Below Freezing temps outdoors and AC units still in windows created huge holes and drafts that made sleeping uncomfortable2.Limited pots and pans to prepare meals3. Minimal seating for TV viewing 4. Could have had board games or books Overall the house worked out bc we needed the dining room table for family meals but with a small investment from the owners it would be worth the cost. But as it is....it is not worth the extra cost over other properties. Location was great and in a wonderful safe neighborhood walking distance to CVS and restaurants
The house is very spacious and as described in the listing. One thing to note is that the apartment is on the bottom level of an old house, so the movements of the upstairs tenants can be heard.
During our stay the radiators made a consistent very loud banging noise all night long. From 2AM until 5AM the banging was relentless. This made it very difficult to sleep during our the three night stay. The property manager responded to my texts, but did not do anything to address the issue.
This apartment was just what we were looking for and checked all of our boxes. It was in JP, close to public transport (39 bus, orange and green lines), and spacious enough for my wife and I, our two kids and two other family members. It is a very charming apartment and the hosts were fantastic. We will definitely be staying here again.
Clean, convenient, quiet, comfortable. Close to all the charms of Jamaica Plain on calm, one way street. Parking plentiful. Kitchen a bit bare bones. Some rules, but all about being a good neighbor. Would totally return.
Pros :The owners live upstairs and they are very nice and responsive. The apartment is very spacious and conveniently located.
Cons:The place is bit run down and needs some TLC.
There was a coffee maker but hardly any coffee, no sugar and no tea. All the mattresses were covered in plastic underneath the sheets. I can't sleep well when every time I move there is a crinkling sound. Our bedroom door wouldn't close. Our bedroom didn't have a closet or a dresser, just a couple of hooks with no hangers.
We loved our stay at this lovely apartment! Close to the city but far enough out to be a quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located with a CVS, Whole Foods and several restaurants all within walking distance. There was also a beautiful pond right around the corner. The home had plenty of rooms and beds, and the house was so charming with it's antique style, true to the historic neighborhood and city. Great communication with the owners. Would definitely recommend!
Such a great stay. The communication was clear and very helpful. The house was very comfortable for all 5 of us. And the neighborhood was a quiet one that still was very close to restaurants and shops by walking, parks and ponds very nearby, and the rest of Boston and area by a quick drive. The kids even enjoyed the school playground across the street.
Great location, would have appreciated more cleanliness
We had a very positive experience communicating with the property manager. The location is great for families- it is an easy drive into Boston, there is plenty of parking near the apartment, the neighborhood is safe and great for walking around. We loved being in walking distance to lots of great restaurants and Jamaica Pond!
However I was disappointed to find the apartment was not very clean. In addition to a lot of clutter near the front entrance and on the back porch, upon arrival there was leftover food (a piece of old bacon) on the rug in the living room. Additionally there is not a lot of comfortable seating options in the living area (one old couch and two directors chairs). Lastly, we were woken up on the last night to a smoke detector going off which was not ideal.
All that to be said, this apartment was what we needed for this trip (a safe/easy place for two families to stay as we visited Boston) but I do not plan on renting at this location again.
Great experience... everything was just as expected
Our family of four was returning to Jamaica Plain, having moved away 7 years ago. We knew the area well and were excited to revisit our old neighborhood. The apartment was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen and living room provided a nice place to land at the end of each busy day. The communication was easy and clear, and I would recommend this spot to others.
Great location. Close to Fenway and downtown. Three bedrooms worked out fine for our party of five. Good communication. Clean and everything was as advertised. Would definitely stay here again.
