Sarah's basement apartment is a super cute little place in the North End (Little Italy neighborhood) that we found at the last minute while traveling to Boston for 2 nights over the July 4th holiday weekend. Plenty of space for a solo traveler or a couple like us. Cute exposed brick and kitchen, with secure separate entrance and coded door locks. We were quite comfortable with the amenities, though did mention to Sarah that the bathroom could have used some very slight increase in attention to cleanliness/detail and that the bed pillows were somewhat hard/lumpy for future guest's improvement. Tons of restaurants within 5 minute walking distance on Salem St and Hanover St. While the ease and ability to walk everywhere (including downtown towards the the Back Bay neighborhood) was wonderful from Sarah's place, the cost for parking our car in a nearby garage around the corner (Pilgrim Parking) was steep ($76 for a total of 30 hours) and we discovered someone had hit our front side bumper while in the garage. Would recommend a different garage if storing your car in the neighborhood, though we absolutely still recommend Sarah's apartment for a quick trip to the city!! We're glad we stumbled upon it!
