Perfect location for seeing all the sites, walk able Freedom Trail is just up the street, close to the T for Fenway park, China town, JFK Library, Harvard and MIT. Down the street from Bovas and Mikes Pastry and the best Italian at Monica's. Pauli's had the best Italian Subs or Ernestos for a quick slice before heading out. The walk up had the best coffee. T-Shirt guy back of the Boston Massacre site was the nicest and most affordable t-shirts and sweatshirts. Everyone in the North End is friendly and welcoming.
