About this house rental

Nestled in Jamaica Plain, this attractive house for $675 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This is truly a special place for your Boston visit You have the opportunity to stay in a wonderful 19th century house that has been completely renovated. The House If you are unfamiliar with Boston, a real home with a garden in the city proper is quite rare. You will find that living in this unique space allows you and your companions to truly relax and enjoy each other's company. It has all the charm you would want including eclectic art, comfortable bedrooms, a fully stocked open floor plan kitchen and a wonderful deck and garden. The Bedrooms There are a total of 4 bedrooms, Three are on the second floor and share a bath. They have excellent queen beds with lovely cotton sheets and plenty of pillows. The Master bedroom with a king bed and bath is on the third floor. It's like being in a tree house because you have huge windows. Don't worry, there are blackout shades for a great sleeping experience. If you bring more folks, there is a single Ikea bed as well as two air mattresses if you need them. The Kitchen and Garden The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need. Coffee and tea and perhaps a bottle of something fun will be waiting for your arrival. The deck off the kitchen leads down to your exclusive patio with a grill. If you have kids, the garden is a great place to play while the adults are having drinks on the deck. The place is so quiet that you can hear crickets in the summer. It's sublime. Why Stay in Jamaica Plain? Boston has several distinct neighborhoods - each with its own flavor. "JP" is considered the hippest neighborhood in the City, with great restaurants, pubs, bakeries, parks and a subway line that takes you to the major sights in 15 minutes. Don't forget Fenway Park! It's a quick Uber ride away. The Food If you're a foodie, you're in the right place. You are only a 7 minute walk to the neighborhood center where you can pretty much get any cuisine that you want - Thai, Mexican, Cuban, Vietnamese, felafel, ramen, breakfast, pub burgers and old time meatloaf- you name it, JP's got it - even Scottish haggis. Third Cliff bakery is a new addition to the neighborhood. Get there early on the weekend and don't let the line intimidate you. It moves quickly. So many choices- go out for a bite to eat or grill dinner or bring back Thai takeout. The Great Oudoors Often called "The Eden of America," JP has the largest percentage of greenspace per capita of any large city in the country. Take a walk from the house to Jamaica Pond or the Arnold Arboretum. Or go the other direction and run around the second oldest public golf course in the US at Franklin Park. It's also home to the Zoo.

Everything was great for our family trip. Margaret has great communication and even when I had questions she immediately answered. The location was good but the traffic was not. We used uber everywhere and I do not recommend renting a car because there’s a lot of one way streets and a little hard to navigate.

Stayed with our daughter and her family to attend our son’s wedding events in West Roxbury, down town, and Somerville. Perfect location. The house has great character and charm with high ceilings, very well maintained. The third floor master bedroom is in the tree tops!

We loved the updates to this wonderful home. The front door deadbolt lock was tricky to unlock the door and for those who plan to dine at home, the kitchen could use more place settings for a family. Otherwise, the stay was relaxing and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time in the Boston area!

We want to say how wonderful our stay was. We loved the area; the eclectic furnishings were wonderful. Even though it was not home, it felt like home. The neighborhood was great, stores & shops were all walking distance, getting into downtown Boston was easy. Again, we can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was.

We stayed in Margaret's Jamaica Plain house for an anniversary trip with our family (8 of us in all). This may be the best VRBO stay we've ever had (and we've had several). Communication was great. The house was exactly as expected after reading the listing and reviews. Margaret went above and beyond, helping to solve a few travel issues (unrelated to the house) that came up for our family. The hospitality, the cleanliness, the neighborhood and the communication all add up to a top tier property.

The house had all the accommodations as describes on the VRBO property details. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with pans, glasses, plates and spices. The train/subway station is about about .4 miles away but it is a nice walk through the park. Only observation for the foliage in the back - it could use a trim.
