La Gemma was a terrific find. It's ideally located near the Old North Church in the midst of the Italian district, so sightseeing and fantastic eating were only steps away. Gina thought of everything to make our stay pleasurable, including maps, metro cards and restaurant recommendations. Whenever we had a question, her response was speedy and helpful. The kitchen was fully equipped, and with two bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, four of us were more than comfortable there. We absolutely loved our stay at La Gemma and would go back there again in a heartbeat! (One small note, if you have a large suitcase, you might be better off unloading it on the main floor and carrying your clothes down rather than trying to maneuver it down the spiral staircase.)
