First and foremost, Renee is an exceptional host. She met us when we arrived, provided great communication leading up to that and gave us a tour. She made sure we were comfortable and situated and texted us the next day to check in and make sure we didn't need anything. She was very upfront about the possibility of noise (not a problem AT ALL) and there were no surprises.

The townhouse is beautiful; so unique and very spacious. We were here during the hottest time of the year so the upstairs room got a little warm but was never uncomfortable. There were two balconies we opened the doors to and it was great to get a good breeze. We were so intrigued with the history of the house and all of the original charm that Renee left in it. Bathrooms and kitchen are updated and with 4 people we never had issues. The upstairs bath has two shower heads and a rain head - you won't get that in most hotels at this price point!
The townhouse is 3 levels, the top two are the bedrooms, both are open without doors but provide a lot of privacy.
Big time bonus - the beds are extremely comfortable. Not just the mattresses but the pillows and linens too!

This location is PERFECT. Really, cannot do much better. This is directly behind Saus (French fries, beer and other delicious foods, do not miss it) and a few historic bars/restaurants (Green Dragon, Bell in Hand, Paddy O's, Union Oyster House). Easy walk to Faneuil Hall, Boston Public Market, the harbor, North End. T stops are nearby, easy to catch an Uber. We were familiar with the area based on the description but I think Renee was very humble in describing how ideal it was! Renee was concerned we would be bothered by the noise (we are in our 30's, traveling without kids), but we never noticed it. Friday night when the bars were busier there was a bit of extra dull noise but we couldn't even hear the music from the bars.

We had been searching for a hotel in this area and everything was around $400-600 per night. We got an entire 3 floor townhouse with balconies, a courtyard, a full kitchen in an ideal location for barely over $400. Even if it were just two of us this would have been a steal.

This is a great home, great location and great host. I don't think I will ever look for a hotel again when traveling to Boston, this was so much better! Renee could not have been more accommodating and helpful. And don't forget to check out Saus, you will not be disappointed!
