You can't beat this location. It's a large apartment located right next to Old North Church in Boston's Italian Village, and it's worth it to spend a few bucks to live in such a great, safe area. You have access to great restaurants and sight-seeing places just down the street from where you're staying. The apartment itself is beautiful, well-decorated, and clean.
Jose is a nice host although we didn't talk very much. I wish Jose was more "on-call" when there were major issues. I asked for assistance twice during my stay, and the problems weren't readily resolved. These problems were time-sensitive and stressed me quite a bit.
I need to warn you about the front door to the residence--it's very difficult to lock. Pull the door toward you as hard as you can in order for the lock and the door frame to align correctly or else you'll end up as frustrated as I was when trying to lock the door for the first time! The blinds in the bedroom are also very thin, so it's a good idea to wear a sleeping mask.
I recommend you take the new balcony & crypt tour at the Old North Church. It was very fascinating, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Walking around at night is also very safe (I am a woman traveling alone), so as long as you're on well-lit, populated areas, you won't have a problem.
