We had a great stay at Richard's apartment for the marathon weekend. It's very well-located on the western edge of the North End (easy walking distance to almost everything, including some of the best restaurants and pastry shops in Boston, and T station is also very close). The apartment was nice and sunny, and had a gas fireplace that was heavenly after a cold and wet race day. Not the quietest location just off of the Haymarket area, but definitely worth the tradeoff for the location. Richard was great about communicating leading up to our trip and arranging our arrival. Definitely recommend staying here.
