Great for Families
Review Submitted: August 1, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
We were so pleased with our stay at ArtHouse. Initially, I was unsure of the area and we had intended to stay closer to downtown Boston. Having now spent five days in Jamaica Plain, it was the perfect location for our family. We could be on the T and heading into the city in about 2 minutes, and yet we had space, parks, family-friendly restaurants and more just outside our doorstep from ArtHouse. We could be at any number of attractions in Boston is less than 15 minutes or so.
The owners are amazingly gracious and helpful. They even shipped a couple of items we left behind back to us immediately. They answered the many questions I had before our arrival thoroughly and promptly. And yet they never were intrusive during our visit. If you’re traveling with young kids, you should definitely put this property at the top of your list. The owners also have a young daughter and went above and beyond to ensure our son was happy (they loaned us a basket of toys, tracked down a pack n play, made some great recommendations on strollers and navigating the city, etc.)
The home itself is spotlessly clean. It is stocked with all the basics you’d need. The space it offers is ideal, especially if you plan to visit Boston for an extended period of time. Our party included 4 adults and 1 small child and it didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. (I’m not sure it would sleep 6 adults comfortably, however.) It is decorated in a bright, cheerful way. And you’ll love the outdoor patio. Shockingly quiet and serene back there. The reliable high-speed internet was also great. We didn’t have a car, so I can’t speak to parking, but there seemed to be space for that as well.
