波士顿整套客用套房1室4床1.0卫可住4人 · LightandairyseparateaptinfunkyJamaicaPlain
The apt. has 4 twin beds in our quirky 1880 Victorian farmhouse in central Jamaica Plain. Fast transportation to downtown Boston, Cambridge, and LMA. Separate entrance, kitchen and bathroom, shared deck. PLEASE NOTE: there are STEEP STAIRS to the unit, and a NARROW SPIRAL STAIRCASE inside the unit. Ceiling in the bathroom is LOW. People with mobility issues may find these difficult. Bulky luggage may have to stay on the main floor. PLEASE read description carefully before booking. The Victorian house (built in around 1875) is located at the top of a hill in a wooded setting with a small wild area behind the house. We have wild turkeys, bunnies, plenty of squirrels, hawks, and also the occasional skunk. The Airbnb unit is part of the house, a one bedroom apartment with two twin beds in the living room (daybed plus trundle) on the second floor, and a bathroom and bedroom upstairs on the third floor, also with two twin beds. It can easily house 3 adults, and a fourth if you are willing to use the trundle bed in the living room and move the table and chairs, but which does make it a bit crowded (or "cozy" depending on your point of view) in the living area. There are also two inflatable child beds for kids up to about 10 years old. The apartment has great cross-ventilation. The bathroom and bedroom are upstairs via a NARROW spiral staircase, and the stairs to the unit are STEEP. There is a SMART TV, with premium channels (HBO, Showtime, Amazon Prime, Netflix etc.). The kitchen is well equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, French press, Italian espresso maker, coffee filters, blender, toaster oven, microwave, electric kettle, rice cooker, and full stove. I provide some basic Continental breakfast supplies, including coffee pods, teas, butter, jams, honey, peanut butter, cereals etc. I also provide some "midnight foods" for those who arrive hungry in the middle of the night - you may find cereal, PopTarts, microwave popcorn, ramen noodles, etc. You will find this a very comfortable and relaxed place to stay!

Nice cute home
Great and quirky little place, not difficult to find and get into, had food in the cabinets, fourth bed was easy to pull out and set up, toiletries provided, AC kept the place cool, quick walk to the Orange Line. Overall a great little place, would absolutely stay here again.
This was the perfect place to stay for a few days of Boston touring. Jamaica Plain is a cute community and Susan’s place is close to the subway. Susan was great to work with!
やや雑然とした印象で清潔さを求める方には向かないと思いますが、リーズナブルに宿泊したい方には選択肢のひとつになると思います。
The location of this airbnb is terrific: walkable to Jamaica Plains center, lots of shops and amenities, super-easy bus-line access, doable walks to the Arboretum and other nearby attractions. As Susan says, getting to the 2nd-level bedroom and bathroom area is a bit tricky b/c of a narrow winding staircase, but the space upstairs and down is really nice. The kitchen is well-stocked and everything works well, making it easy to cook, if you want to do that. There's stuff on the premises and in the space that could be culled, but overall the place is enjoyable and especially the 1st level is indeed light and airy. Susan is a great on-premises host.

Jamaica Plain is one of the most fun and funky residential neighborhoods of Boston. It was one of the "streetcar suburbs" which were settled when the streetcars extended out from Boston in the mid-1800s, and most of the housing is Victorian, dating from about 1860 on. Our house was built in around 1875. There are many restaurants, bars, galleries, and other entertainment options. JP is very gay-friendly, and still houses many artists although they are slowly being pushed out by rising prices. We are also spoiled for green space - Jamaica Pond is within easy walking distance, and the Emerald Necklace string of parks designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (who also designed Central Park in NYC) links Jamaica Pond with the Charles River, with a lovely paved bike path running the whole way to the river. We also have both the Arnold Arboretum (265 acres) and Franklin Park (527 acres, zoo, golf course, trails, etc.) which are within easy distance.
Boston is a major brewing destination, and the Boston Beer Company, brewers of Sam Adams beer, is about 8 minutes walk from the house. Another brand new brewery, Turtle Swamp Brewery, has opened a beer garden about the same distance away. There are also many other microbreweries within easy reach via the T, including Slumbrew, Third Shift, Trillium, Harpoon, Mystic, Idle Hands, and Cambridge Brewing. Jack's Abby has a reputed taproom with good food, accessible by car or commuter rail in Framingham.
We are about a 7 minute walk from both the Stony Brook and Green Street stops on the MBTA Orange Line (the "T") and downtown Boston is an easy 15 minute ride on the T, or on the 39 bus which stops 2 blocks away. If you are coming from the airport, you can take the Silver Line bus to South Station, then change to the Red Line for one stop to the Orange line, direction of Forest Hills, to the Green Street stop. In addition, we are very conveniently placed for the Longwood Medical area (LMA) and for Fenway Park. There are BlueBike system rental bikes placed nearby and numerous Zipcars, and Uber and Lyft cars are usually no more than a 4-5 minutes wait. There is free limited on-street parking.

I'm a retired academic in public health. I've lived and worked - and lived in Brazil, DR Congo (then Zaire), Cameroon, Switzerland, Uganda, Zambia, and the UK. I also host an Airbnb Experience - "E-bike tour of Boston" (just ask!) We are available if you would like to chat, want some ideas for restaurants or shopping, or have any questions about Boston. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best of Jamaica Plain and Boston!
