Renee's place was such a great central location for walking to the North End and all around the old historic parts of Boston. With so many markets nearby, it was easy to have breakfast and snack fixings on hand.The beds and linens were super luxe and comfortable, and we appreciated the coffee grinder and coffee maker as well as french press. She told us to expect some noise since it is connected to restaurants and in a bustling neighborhood, so she had earplugs on hand, but we were fine and didn't need them. We didn't enjoy the cute patio like we thought we would because it wasn't secluded enough from the competing smells of a big garbage dumpster down the alley, and sewer gases, and the oh-so-prevalent marijuana clouds we found all over Boston, but it *was* charming to look at!! We had a great friends getaway long weekend there, and highly recommend it!
