The place was exactly as described. The location is between the hustle and bustle of the city life but also being able to have some calm if desired. You are in the city center, so you are close to everything and to all of the activities. Only word of advice, listen to her ideas of how to get to the Airbnb. Don’t make the mistake of coming down Portobello with large suitcases ( that was our mistake). They also provided us with help when he came to taking our suitcases to the Seaport at the end of our stay.
