Our family has been home from our stay for two weeks now and we still miss being at Nicolo's Grand Colonial! It was a great mix of location and affordability for our family of 5 needing 3 separate full baths. The house was as described and as clean as in the pictures. One thing I do wish I would have known before booking is that the flight of stairs up to the third floor bedroom was a bit steeper than the first flight to the second floor. This prevented us from assigning the rooms to our family members the way we had hoped (our 78 year old mother was traveling with us). A few other notes: there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults as long as you take them one at a time (back to back is fine, just not at the same time); bring your own tissues - none were provided for us; the stairs to the basement are very steep and narrow - if you are old, large, or afraid of heights you won't be able to make it down them (you'll probably want to bring the ironing board upstairs if you will be needing it daily). There were tons of dishes and silverware and a very nice coffee grinder and brewer, although the pots are very hard to reach since they hang from the ceiling - we're a family under 5'4" so we could only reach a few of them. The dining room chairs are wobbly, so using them for small children probably is risky; but for adults who are careful about sitting down, they were fine. We had trouble getting the DVD player in the living room to work, but we had an HDMI cable with us so we just used that and our laptop and it allowed us to watch the movies we brought. And it's no joke about the parking - don't rent anything larger than a Chevy Impala or it won't fit in the space - and you do have to back in, so get a rental with a rear view camera! And the neighborhood is just as lovely as the house! I would absolutely recommend staying here - it's in the perfect location for restaurants, the T, the North End and Quincy Market, the Science Museum and the USS Constitution, easy to and from the airport and plenty of convenience stores nearby (Whole Foods, CVS, liquor store, gas station, Dunkin Donuts, etc). It's a drive to Target for any larger forgotten or desired items, but other than that it's completely doable as a car-free place to stay for folks who are walkers. Nicolo was extremely easy to get in touch with during our stay and responded very quickly to the couple of questions we had. I would happily be his guest again! Thank you Nicolo for a worry-free week!
