The listing was pretty much as described and was in an excellent location in the North End part of Boston, which is close to lots of lovely places to eat and see nearby. I never met the host, but he was very quick to respond and give details of the lockbox which worked out well. I agree with some previous reviews that you can hear some neighbours, but again, this isn't too bad and if you're a light sleeper, take some ear plugs. There wasn't much kitchen equipment etc, but that was not a problem as we were out alot anyway. We loved staying in Boston and would come back to this place like a shot!
