If you're looking for an authentic, Bostonian experience in a charming old house in a vibrant neighborhood, this is a great choice. We took four children (ages 11-18) and it was wonderful having seperate rooms! The kitchen has nice appliances and was easy to cook in. Whole Foods, CVS and a T stop are nearby. But, if you don't mind a little walking, it's super easy to walk up and over the bridge and be in the north end. You're literallya 5 minute walk from the Bunker HIll monument. This was a great vacation house for us.
