This home certainly gave us an "Old Boston historical feel" just what we were looking for. The surrounding neighborhood was lovely, quiet and historical as well. Lots of conveniences--restaurants, bars, Whole foods. We used the transit often which is about 3 blocks away. Even though this house is 3 stories, it is very quiet even with people going up and down the stairs. We loved the outdoor seating area at the front of the house and used it everyday, morning and evening. The information packet for our arrival and stay was excellent.
