Maria's JP Rental - Boston Duplex in Popular Jamaica Plain JP area

It was very quiet and host was helpful and responsive. The upstairs furniture beds were a bit dated and the spare single mattress needs replacing.

Maria is a wonderful host that went above and beyond to accommodate us during our emergency stay. The house is comfortable and cozy with great amenities, beautiful yard with lots of birds checking in every morning in the trees, and lots of play stuff for kids.

The place was perfect for our family, this location is very close and walking distance to most of JP. One night there was snow/ice and before we were even up the walks were cleared off. thank you so much for everything.

Location, location, location! If you want to be in Jamaica Plains, this place is perfect!

Clean and unique house. Close to the subway, grocery store for basic needs, and a few reataurants.

Wonderful historic gem in quiet Jamaica Plain neighborhood. Owner included many thoughtful extras in the kitchen, bathroom and for children. A binder with local information was helpful as well. We enjoyed a great week and hope to return in the future. The location was perfect for our needs.

We loved our stay at Maria's place. The location is amazing for families -- walking-distance to both the Arboretum and the Zoo. The apartment was furnished with all kinds of thoughtful touches and Maria was extremely communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

It had everything we needed. Quite comfortable.

Property is as advertised, host is very helpful and communicative, Jamaica Plain is a great location and this property is wonderfully situated in JP. Close to restaurants, shops, and a grocery store, the T, very walkable, pretty neighborhood. Free on street parking (but do keep in mind, this is still Boston). Something unexpected was this was the BEST, easiest, fastest check out I have ever had with any rental home! Would happily return.

JP is a wonderful neighborhood. If you enjoy walking, everything is not too far. There are bakeries, local shops, food, ice cream, drug stores, hardware stores, and nice restaurants. There are also lots of parks and places to walk. The metro or T as it is known here, is also a short walk. Very easy to get downtown if you need to.

Great place, great host. Lots of sweet touches—basket of packaged goodies and extra toiletries and some staples in the fridge. The kitchen seemed well stocked though admittedly we only used the microwave and toaster—mostly wanted to enjoy the local flavors. The stairs felt a bit “slanted” but it is a historical home so settling would be expected. There were some basic “maintenance” things that may need attention. The light on the porch was out so it made it difficult to navigate locks after dark but our cell phone worked just fine. Also had a loose porch rail. The bathroom probs could use a bit of work/cleaning—chipped paint on ceiling, pretty dusty on baseboards, some cobwebs in corners, dusty ceiling fan, walls were grungy, the shower curtain liner was orange-ish. It may have just been the character that comes with the age of the building but a coat of paint would probs make a huge difference for guests and easier to keep clean overall for housekeepers. One of the kitchen cabinet fronts was also loose. These things were all little in nature honestly and we never said anything to the host as they never became an issue. Just things we noticed especially since the listing stated that the unit had been recently renovated. The beds were comfy and a great location. The neighborhood was pretty and the unit was quite comfy for us overall. Very close to transportation and to the airport. Host was VERY helpful and responsive and answered questions very quickly.
