Marie greeted us at our arrival, late as it was due to weather, and welcomed us to the apartment. She is friendly and warm and provided us good information on the local area and best places to eat close by. The 1st floor apartment is clean and tastefully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. There is a window A/C in the bedroom and it was more than sufficient to keep us cool during the unusually warm and muggy August evenings during our stay. The house is only a few blocks from a very good cafe for breakfast or lunch, and a short walk down the hill to the main street where several good restaurants, a CVS and a Whole Foods market provided us our every need during our stay. Be sure to try the Monument Restaurant while you are there. Excellent pizza and the Lemon Rosemary Wings are the best.
The closest T station is the Orange Line stop at Community College. This was fine during our daylight outings, but we also had excellent Uber service to and from the North End and Quincy Market back to the apartment in the evenings.
The neighborhood is quite and safe. Short walk to the Bunker Hill Monument and the Navy Yard. Freedom trail loops past Bunker Hill and is an easy walk to the other sites from Charlestown.
This was our first AirBnB stay in the Boston area, and we had an excellent experience with our hosts and the property overall.
