This was our second stay at Paolo's apartment, because the location is hard to beat! While the apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and in a safe area, it could use some updates such as a fresh coat of paint or curtains. But if you're visiting Boston, you probably don't plan to much time in your rental anyway. This apartment is steps away from the Old North church and dozens of fantastic North End restaurants. We brought our six year old along and he slept well on the pullout sofa; he also enjoyed a playground across the street about a block away.
