The apartment is a perfect location to enjoy Boston. It's in the heart of the North End with walking access to Boston's subway (the T), historic places related to the American Revolution, wonderful restaurants, Quincy Market, and nestled in a cozy courtyard. The place is newly appointed with comfortable and top-end amenities, yet still preserving the historic nature of the original construction. The unit is one of four in a quiet courtyard, and it has several windows that bring in natural light. Each unit in this courtyard likely has 4-6 apartments contained in it. The courtyard and unit is safe and I never once felt concerned for personal security within the apartment, or within any place in the North End. Stepping out of the courtyard, you can see the steeple to the North Church a couple buildings away -- it's that close to it. I was there with my wife and two college-aged children for the Thanksgiving holiday. Both my kids are on the east coast, so we thought rather than the kids coming back home, we'd travel to see them in Boston -- a town we did not know well. This apartment was an excellent location to come to know the city. We walked to several restaurants throughout our time there, the Haymarket transit station is 10 minutes away and central to everything. The sleeping arrangements worked out well with my son and me in the pull-out sofa (which was the most comfortable sofa bed I've slept in, particularly with the foam padding supplied in the living room closet), and my wife and daughter were in the double bed of the bedroom. There were ample linens, towels, and pillows to go around due to Cindy having a couple extra boxes/chests filled with them. She thought of everything for us, including leaving a supply of essential kitchen supplies -- pots, dishes, silverware, scissors, trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels -- and also food stuff, like tea, coffee, margarine, bottled water, sugar, and so forth. As a welcome gift, there was a bottle of red wine that greeted us. What could be more welcoming?! The bathroom was in excellent shape, again newly appointed, with shampoo and soap amenities like an upscale hotel would provide. Lots of hot water, a bathroom exhaust fan, and well lit -- all unusual in old buildings and clearly part of the remodeling. I talked with Cindy twice as part of my visit, and did not meet her. On the first day, I needed some help with the lockbox directions, and at the end, called to thank her and let her know we're checking out. On the first day, I asked about restaurant recommendations. As part of this conversation, we shared stories about our family and eating preferences. I was grateful for her good sense of where to recommend for my family. We took her suggestions and had an amazing visit to Boston. Compared to any hotel within two miles of the North End, I have no...
