Excellent location in the North End with a view of the water. Paolo works with a 3rd party, Ralph, to oversee the check-in/out. Ralph was very responsive and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better host. The apartment is spartan, but it had all the things we needed: a clean bed to sleep on, a working bathroom, and of course air conditioning and a ceiling fan (it was 90+ the 3 days we were there). We were minutes away from some great shops and restaurants in the North End and only an 8-10 minute walk to North Station. Would stay again 5/5.
