Found a gem on first trip to Boston!
This rental was perfect for my family's first visit to Boston! The home is in the quaint area of Jamaica Plain, convenient to the "T" stop at Stonybrook and all Boston has to offer. Also convenient were various delicious places to eat (don't miss Star seafood market) and markets to buy everyday items. The home is well cared for and very updated with great amenities such as keyless entry, a VERY nice kitchen and even a patio out back with vegetable and herb gardens. Perry was fabulous to work with from start to finish, checking up with us to see if we needed anything before our arrival and giving us great local advice after we arrived. This is probably the most well stocked vacation rental I have even been in. We did not want for anything as there were plenty of extra sheets, blankets, towels, pillows, toilet paper - you name it and Perry had stocked it! As we got to know the city of Boston and the mass transit (very easy to use), this was a comfortable home to return to each evening. I highly recommend!
