We had a blast at Cindy & Mark's place. I honestly couldn't imagine a better location in the North End. Mark met us promptly with the key and invited us to contact them if we needed anything. The apartment is properly outfitted, and very recently renovated. It is located in a private courtyard off the main street and is very quiet area. It is small, as you would expect in the north end of Boston, but It was comfortable for our family, two adults and one child. I can highly recommend it!
