This place is a real find. It is conveniently located near fantastic restaurants and the best bakeries plus it is close to major sites and the subway. It is a stone's throw away from the Freedom Trail. We did not need to rent a car, which would have been a hassle and expense.
Although it is close to everything, it is surprisingly quiet. Having the bedroom in the back helps. The neighbor was having a loud party on the street one night, but we could not hear the music once we shut our bedroom door. This place is close to everything but still quiet.
The place was spotless, and the sheets were crisp and clean. The owners use a duvet cover as bedding, so guests do not need to wonder about the cleanliness of the comforter. Much appreciated!
The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking supplies and dishes. It was fun to use dishes cuter than the ones I have at home rather than a hodgepodge of yard sale finds and worn-out knives. It was a welcome change from other places I have stayed.
The pictures do not do justice to the place. It is small, but has a good footprint and appears to have been recently remodeled.
The best little secret about this place? It is down the street from a 24-hour bakery that sells the more delicious pastries. We gained some weight during our week-long stay, but the yummy treats were worth it.
The North End neighborhood is older, but we felt safer than we have in other big cities. I think it is because you are so close to restaurants, and there are lots of people around because you are at a destination spot.
Make sure to bring cash when visiting the area. Many of the smaller establishments--including the bakeries--only take cash.
