À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Rare! Une maison de charme en ville, meubles de famille, proche métro, restos

Just steps from the city's excellent public transportation system, this is the perfect spot to gather your family for a graduation, your colleagues headed to a conference or simply as a base to visit all that Boston and New England have to offer. We're in a lively neighborhood full of shops and restaurants, close to hospitals, universities, museums, historic sites and green spaces.

The Green Street stop on the Orange Line of Boston's subway system (we call it the 'T') is less than a block down the street. And bus line #39, a 6-minute walk up the street, will take you quickly to the Longwood Medical area, the Museum of Fine Arts, Copley Square, the Boston Public Garden and Faneuil Hall.

We’ve decorated and equipped our gracious new Boston home for our own use, so we are confident that guests will enjoy it as much as we do. It’s an 1890’s single-family (not an apartment or condo) light and airy, recently renovated with an open floor plan, freshly painted and warmly furnished with family antiques.

You’ll feel perfectly comfortable and at home as you head out from this quiet oasis to explore one of the world’s most interesting cities!

Location

The house is perfectly located in Jamaica Plain, a Boston neighborhood animated by an eclectic mix of artists, medical professionals, students and young families, and known for its many excellent restaurants.

There is off-street parking next to the house, but you will not really need a car, since restaurants and shops are so close, the Orange Line of the subway system (known as “the T”) is just a block away, and there’s a #39 bus stop an easy six-minute walk up the street.

Travel by public transportation to the Boston Marathon finish line, Copley Square with Trinity Church and the Public Library, and all the city’s many universities, hospitals, museums and historic sites could not be easier. Even Logan International Airport is accessible via subway, with just one change.


The house

There are three carpeted bedrooms upstairs: one queen, one double, and one with twin beds. On the ground floor there is a new, full-sized sofa bed in the family room. Total capacity: 8 guests.

Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms on the second floor, one for the master suite (with large shower), and another with a bathtub and shower for guests staying in the two other rooms.

There is a half-bath (“powder room”) on the ground floor, near the TV/music room.

The main floor is “open plan,” with oak flooring throughout. The modern kitchen is equipped with granite counters, gas stove, dishwasher, large refrigerator with ice-maker and filtered water tap, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and various other small appliances. In a closet you’ll find a stacked, front-loading washer and dryer.

The kitchen opens onto a comfortable dining area and spacious living room, both bathed in sunlight under 10-foot ceilings.

The neighborhood

All Jamaica Plain’s charming shops, cafĂ©s, pubs and diverse restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house; nearby too there are bakeries, a brewery, a library, running and bike paths, parks, playgrounds and Harvard University’s Arboretum, a 280-acre natural preserve and botanical research center in the heart of the city.

There is even a 68-acre (31 ha.) lake where you can rent a boat when the weather is good. Please consult http://www.courageoussailing.org/jamaicapond for more information on sailing, rowing and kayaking.

We’ll be happy to offer suggestions and recommendations, especially about our favorite restaurants, as soon as we know your particular interests.

Transportation

The “Orange Line” of the subway (known locally as the “T”) and city bus line #39 both pass nearby (about a 6-minute walk from the house) and will take you swiftly and economically to all Boston’s historic and cultural attractions.

Or you can rent a city bicycle either on Center Street or at the “T” station and ride all the way to Back Bay along the Southwest Corridor biking path and jogging park.

The amenities

The house has forced hot air heat, central air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, flat screen smart TV, Blu-ray network-enabled DVD player, an iPhone dock, a printer, ironing board and iron, hair dryers, an upright piano and every utensil you could possible need in the kitchen.

Of course, all linens are provided.

Please let us know if we’ve failed to think of something!

The furnishings

We have furnished the house not with standard-issue pieces you’ll find in rentals and hotels all over the world, but with souvenirs from our travels and antique furniture inherited from our family. There are, for example, the carpet I brought back from Tunisia in 1972, a pair of upholstered “barrel chairs” given to my parents 50 years ago, a marble-topped bureau that belonged my great-grandparents, Walter and Fannie Poynter in Lewes, Delaware in the 1890’s, and a chest of drawers that was delivered to my great-great grandparents, Isaac and Sarah Davis, in Elizabeth, New Jersey probably about 1860.

We hope you’ll enjoy the warm ambience the furnishings create, the fact that each piece has a rich history 
 and that you will care for them as we do.

Jamaica plains delight!

This is a great property with room for a group or family. A charming neighborhood with fun shopping and a variety of restaurants; easy access to public transportation downtown. Day tripping to sites outside of Boston was relatively easy. The stairs might be a challenge for people with mobility issues. Otherwise would give it 5 stars.

Charming home. Fantastic location.

The home was perfect for our group of six family and friends. The location, just a short walk to the T, was perfect. It was also just a short walk to Center Street for food shopping and coffee. The house itself was charming and well provisioned with all the kitchen essentials to cook and dine. We were very pleased with the overall experience.

nice large house, generously equipped, beautifully but unpretentiously furnished and decorated - a block from the T and 15-20 minutes from downtown Boston (depending where you're headed), and a half-dozen or more restaurants within a 7 minute walk. Just perfect.

VERY Nice house

Pauline and Woody were very easy to reach when needed. We didn't get to enjoy it like I would of, too busy visiting city and visiting family in Peabody. If you decide to stay the kitchen is well equipped and there is a great path to walk in morning which I did do and just a relaxing house. There was a total of 6 of us and it accommodated us great. LOVED IT!!

Woody, we loved the house, the location and JP. It was an easy walk to Centre Street and we had a great dinner at JP’s Seafood. We took the T several times into Boston and it is both user friendly and handicapped accessible. Lyft worked very well, had great drivers and was inexpensive. Nero coffee was very accessible and delicious. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. One older mattress upstairs is lumpy and uncomfortable however house definitely a five star. Thanks for sharing..

Great house in JP - easy access to public transportation

We (6 adults) stayed at this wonderful house the weekend of the 123rd Boston Marathon! Could not have picked a better location at our price point as the neighborhood, Jamaica Plain (JP for us locals) was eclectic and fun yet safe! We were within walking distance to Sam Adams, Turtle Swap Brewing and Doyle's bar. Most importantly the Orange T line was just down the street and got us to anywhere we needed to be. The house is super clean and beautiful with high ceilings and updated kitchen and baths! Wonderful towels and all home items you could possibly need in terms of dishes, soaps, paper products and even blow dryers! Tons of parking if you bring a vehicle though one was not needed with how close we were to the Orange line - even took this to the airport both ways! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect family vacation rental, great location, wonderful owners

We were coming to Boston for a week as a family (2 adults and 3 kids between 10 and 4 yrs), and rather than book a hotel, wanted something with more character and space. Well, we found it. Booking process was fast, communications excellent and immediate, and once booking confirmed an extremely useful package of information about the house as well as Jamaica Plain neighborhood was delivered. What a great and unstressful start. The House itself was perfect for us as a family of 5. Plenty of toilet/showers/bath, comfortable beds with high quality linens, wonderful and plentiful towels, great living space and kitchen.... Wow. Nice extra was plenty of supplies in the kitchen (hardware and essentials like tea coffee and more) and bathrooms (hand soap, shower gel, shampoo), this is such a nice touch and something most rental properties fail on. Ooh, and fast wifi! Location is also great - very quiet house, very close to T, play park with basketball courts 2 minute walk, and lots of interesting and diverse food options just at the top of the street. Thanks to Woody and Pauling for making their hugely comfortable home available, and for getting our family move to Boston off to a great start.

Great house in an excellent location

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Jamaica Plain house. The house itself is beautiful, as pictured, and in a very nice neighborhood with many amenities nearby. The orange line T stop is super close which makes this house a really great location for visitors who want to utilize public transportation. Woody was very accommodating and easy to communicate with via email. My only comments that might be helpful to future travelers are really unrelated to the property: - The orange line downtown stations are closed during weekends for construction this fall. This adds time to travel but can be worked around by getting off at Back Bay and walking a couple blocks to the Green Line at Copley station (and these entries are free during these closures). Luckily we saw this bulletin before our trip and it wasn't a big impact! - There are numerous great restaurants near the house (many included on the very useful list provided by Woody) but be aware that many are cash only. We found this to be common in Boston and is almost unheard of here in Houston. Again, it wasn't a big issue but nice to prepare for. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Boston!

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Woody and Pauline Halsey

Image de profil de l’hîte
We moved to France when Woody retired in 2011 so that our twin daughters could learn French and gain an international perspective. The Boston house was our base when we were in the US to see our extended family in New England and California. Now we live here full-time and rent the beautiful apartment we created for Pauline's parents. `We chose Jamaica Plain because Woody's sister and brother-in-law raised their children there; over the years we too have come to love its energy, green spaces, restaurants and super-convenient location.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Boston has something for everyone. History, monuments, music and museums. But also professional sports, public gardens and a lively restaurant scene. Boston is home to cutting-edge hospitals, a world renowned symphony and 60 colleges and universities, including MIT and Harvard.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Great space, great light, great location. Wonderful restaurants and all necessities are in easy walking distance. No need for a car, but off-street parking if you bring one (or two).
