If I could give 10 stars instead of the maximum 5 stars for Location, I would. Norah's place in on an incredibly charming street in the middle of Beacon Hill, steps from Boston Common (where we ran every morning) and great shops and restaurants. But you'll just want to wander and take in the cobblestone streets, gorgeous brownstones and overflowing flower boxes. Norah's place was impeccably clean and well equipped. Very comfortable for us as a couple, with our teen daughter. Norah has made the most of a small space; it is well organized. Note that she does not have a kitchen, but the place has a little fridge, microwave and toaster oven, which was more than we needed. Also note that this place is in the basement (although it has a few windows and lets in good light), so if you have mobility issues navigating stairs, this might be an issue for you. Norah was really responsive. The washer/dryer were great to launder our running clothes. I'd definitely stay here again when we are back in Boston.
