Location, Location, Location! Our family of 4 enjoyed several days enjoying the North End and Boston sites and found Paolo's place a perfect landing spot for our trip! Ritchie met us promptly upon our arrival and oriented us to the place and was more than hospitable. There were plenty of towels and the shower was hot. No complaints at all. We really enjoyed being able to walk where we needed to go relatively easily. Our kids enjoyed the little playground across the street as well. We found the best parking for our needs was just down Commercial Street a few blocks at about $34/night.
