We had a great vacation in this beautiful, historic home. As stated in other reviews, the location was ideal. We were a 5 minute walk from the Freedom Trail, 15 minutes from the Italian restaurants in the North End, and 25 minutes from the aquarium. The neighborhood was safe and very charming-close to public transportation, groceries, pubs and historic restaurants. The house was very comfortable for a family of five- our teens and preteen were happy to be able to spread out, not share beds and have TVs in their rooms. We were also very appreciative of the attentive housekeeper who helped with a minor alarm problem and had the house immaculately prepared for us. Nicolo was wonderful to work with. He responded quickly to all of our questions, provided a lot of information about the neighborhood, including restaurant recommendations and maps to everything of interest. He made the trip very easy for us.
