Location is the chief plus here: a stone's throw up on the hill across the street from the door of Old North Church gives a thrill and all of the North End is at your feet and easy walking distance. The joint is funky, though, dark and hemmed in with masonry buildings on all sides, A/C units kicking on one after the other. At this price for Boston, in this spot, this is a decent place to crash for the night, especially if you'll mostly be out and about.
