Only 1 block (few minute walk) to take the 39 bus downtown or 8 - 10 minute walk through the beautiful historic Sumner Hill area of JP to the “T” orange line train (Green Street station) for a quick ride downtown (about 12 minutes on the train from Green Street Station in JP to Back Bay Station and about 15 minutes from JP to Downtown Crossing). Close to medical area and many colleges too.
Street parking. Guests usually can find a street parking spot within a couple of houses away from the rental. On occasion, a guest might have to park further down the street or around the corner. No meters so can park on street as long as you like. Great location whether you choose to use public transportation or Uber/Lyft, or use your own car, or a combination of these.

Home away from home
We spent the entire month of November at Maria's and John's rental and found it a comfortable and convenient place to stay. It's in a great location in Jamaica Plain--near Centre street--with restaurants, stores, and markets nearby. The Arboretum and Jamaica Pond are only a short walk away, as is the closest MBTA station. The kitchen had pretty much all the equipment we needed for a month of cooking, the heating system kept us warm during an unusually chilly month, and we appreciated having a washer/dryer in the unit. The downstairs, especially, gets a lot of natural light--beautiful on a sunny day. Maria and John were great hosts, helpful but respectful of our privacy.

Beautiful Jamaica Pl
We were here for 4 days while attending Friends and Family weekend at Northeastern and really couldn't have found a better location and house. Perfect size for the four of us and very clean and cozy. Maria was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Great location just a 5 minute walk from the main drag where there are great local restaurants and shops and just a 10 min ride on the T to get to Northeastern. Hope to stay here again next year.
