Sofa-isticated Basic

Jesa was immediately very welcoming once I arrived. She showed me around the the place and had information waiting for me as well: places to eat close by, where to get the bus, etc. Jesa & John's place was very comforting and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're staying in Boston!

Jesa and John have to be two of the kindest people in the world. My experience staying with them this past week was stellar because of their hospitality. Before I arrived, Jesa gave me spot-on directions on how to get to their house. She also took the time to print a map of the surrounding area to let me know where exactly I was in relationship to the area around me. My bed was fully dressed with sheets and enough blankets (having planned my trip during the winter, blankets were very important). I was given a tour of the house and introduced to another guest staying at the house. The kitchen is accessible to all guests. Jesa and John did a great job of giving me space and interacting with me so that I got a sense of who they were and became comfortable with asking for something if I needed it. Overall, I had a warm and lovely experience staying with them and would recommend it to any traveler!

they really willing to help u^^

Jesa and John are amazing hosts! Very friendly, caring and interesting people, can provide you with any information about Boston or anything else you might need. The area is pretty safe and the house was very warm and cosy, it was like staying with family members. Would definitely stay here if I visit Boston again.

John and Jesa are truly amazing and interesting people. There was always someone around to help to figure out the bus lines, give restaurant recommendations and discuss world politics in general :) The neighbourhood is really pretty and easy to get there (once you figure out how to read the bus plan). The airbed was highly comfortable, the internet connection was impeccable and the house itself warm and welcoming. I can recommend it very much.

Jesa and John are very intelligent interesting people. The house is well decoreated with art, books, has a lot of character. The airbed is comofortable also. I enjoyed the morning coffee and conversation with Jesa. The house location is great, easy access to anything you need, free parking is big plus. Jesa and John refunded me one night stay due to the water tank broken even I insisted no. Gracious people, great hosts! Definitely going back again.

My stay was absolutely wonderful. Jesa and John are highly considerate, educated and very pleasant. My experience surpassed any expectations. Not only was the house charming, warm and clean, the atmosphere and conversations shared with Jesa and John were engaging and enjoyable. I certainly hope to come back soon and keep in touch.

Super-friendly and super-interesting hosts. My stay there reminded me of visits to some of my best friends. I look forward to staying there again on a future trip.

Highlights of my experience: Jesa spent about a half hour of her time explaining me how to get where I had to go quicker and cheaper. I should probably not reveal the following but here it is: she actually lent me cash for the bus when I realized I had only a credit card (Please use your judgment and do not expect this to happen, this is just to illustrate how great she was!) These guys merrit a 5 start rating in "accuracy" big time. What you see is what you get. The kitty cat is there and is his home, so he will share the room with you. Do not book if you do not like cats. This is ideal if your priority is saving. The air matress deflates a bit. The crown-shaped pillow there is used extensively by the kitty cat for massaging. However... I doubt anybody can beat the price. There are freebies: coffee, tea, water. You will save in trasnportation since you can walk to a bus pretty much at anytime of the day. The hospitality of these guys is priceless... like in a visa commercial.

I had 4 nights stay at Jesa and John's air bed and you guys are awesome! BIG THANK YOU to Jesa, John and cat Humbert! ::::: PERFECT HOST ::::: welcoming, resourceful, lively, willing to share, flexible, always make themselves available to assist me, at the same time, offer me great freedom and personal space. ::::: PLACE LIKE HOME ::::: though the space was not a room and was enclosed by curtains, don't worry, I found it very personal and quiet! Also the welcome note at door on my arrival, the warm welcoming, the perfectly made bed, the super comfy air bed and feather blanket, everything so cozy. ::::: STRATEGIC LOCATION ::::: I like the location alot! It is at Somerville (Union Square), the great things are (1) not downtown but still close - 5 min bus (frequent) to major subway stations (2) 30min walking distance to Harvard and MIT (3) Union Square is the major hub for Somerville, safe and convenient even at night (4) many eatery there, don't miss the local "The Neighbourhood Restaurant" for BIG breakfast, Bloc11Cafe for organic choice+young vibe, both 3 min from home. ::::: ENJOY ::::: highly recommended!

Jesa and John are two lovely people. They made me feel comfortable and offered help and tips to find my way around. The room is as described: the bed is very comfy and you have access to your own bathroom. The house is 25 min walk from Harvard Sq or you can take the bus and get there in 10 min, which is great. All in all, i have no complaints, it was a good experience.

I only stayed for a couple of days at Jesa & John and would have happily stayed longer! I really enjoyed talking with Jesa, she was very helpful and her suggestions were brilliant (I hadn't planned my trip too carefully). The house is very charming, the bed very comfortable, and I found it a very convenient location for exploring old Cambridge/ Harvard and the rest of Boston! I also wished I had more time for some reading; their library is very impressive!

My stay with Jesa and John was simply excellent. The house is charming and very well-kept and there are heaps of great books to keep anyone busy. When I return to Boston in the future Jesa and John's home will definitely be my first choice! Thanks so much!

excellent hosts. very friendly, intelligent, helpful humans. please visit them whenever you can, except when i want to stay with them.

Jesa was a fantastic host. She was very interesting to talk to and she was great at helping us navigate our way through the city. With her help we experienced most of Boston and it was a blast. John was out of town so I hope we get to meet him next time. The SunnyLibrary space was just as described...very comfortable, clean and cozy. Very close to metro transit and there are some great neighborhood places within walking distance. We can't wait to go back!

In line with the others, Jesa & John are amazing hosts! They were very warm, I really enjoyed having conversations with them over tea. They were also very knowledgable about Boston, they could recommend you great places to visit or spend time at. They had a lot of experiences as hosts, so everything was prepared quite professionally. All processes (communications, check-in, check-out) was very smooth and easy, they were very prompt in responding. The location of their apartment was easy to access, 3-minute walk to the bus stop. I would recommend their place and look forward to staying there again.

It is my first time to use the airbnb. I meet really good family. John and Jesa are really nice. And they are glad to provide you the travelling information. I have a good time there.

Great, as usual!

I cannot tell you how delighted we were with AirBNB . Our hosts were helpful and a real treat to be around. They offered great ideas on where to get the best canolies and fresh seafood. YUM! The accommodations were comfortable and convenient. Who could ask for more? Based on my experience, I have and will continue to recommend Air BNB to my friends – those who aren’t my friends can stay at a hotel. Really – a great experience!

Super comfortable, very cute and charming place. Jesa was welcoming and helpful with orienting to the place. Everything was very logistically easy and well thought out. Pretty conveniently located to get to anywhere in Cambridge and many cute little cafes nearby. Over all a great spot, would recommend.

John and Jesa are wonderful people with a great home. You can't find better hosts for your trip to Boston.

Jesa & John are two of my favorite people in the entire world. Your stay will not only be wonderful, but an artistic & spiritual adventure as well. What more could you ask for? And such a BARGAIN!
