Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint and cozy getaway only minutes from the city of Boston! My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. We loved the property and ease of the check-in process! The property was clean and cozy, with tea and coffee provided (as well as other utensils if you wished to cook). The owners left a "guestbook guide" that had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do around Jamaica Plain. This property is about 5-10 minutes from hot spots in downtown Boston (e.g Fenway). We highly recommend this location and would love to stay again in the future! ##### Lynn P. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharvell W. May 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay The place was adorable and extremely clean. Will be using this spot for our next trip to Boston. ##### Sharvell W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy C., Highland Park, NJ, USA May 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Cozy Retreat The Arbor Retreat was a lovely little oasis in a pretty and quiet neighborhood, with easy access by car to downtown Jamaica Plain. The hosts were attentive to details, providing ample supplies for tea and coffee making along with basic cooking items like salt, pepper and oil. The WiFi worked beautifully, and HBO Max and Netflix access provided for ample in unit entertainment. Our only disappointment was that the bed was a full/double size rather than the advertised queen size. ##### Cathy C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lambert H. Mar 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay This is a very well designed and appointed studio apartment. Minutes from the heart of Jamaica Plains. It has everything a couple could need. ##### Lambert H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn J.

It is very easy to get to and has everything you would need. The owner is communicative and helpful. It was a delight. ##### Kathryn J.
