Elly is a top-tier host, just what you're hoping for. Navy Yard is an ideal location: steps from the Freedom Trail, vintage-cool, safe, quiet, quaint and within walking distance of the magical North End or the upscale Bunker Hill community. If you choose to walk, it's a lovely 15-20 minute stroll to the edge of the city. However, the ferry conveniently runs year-round, including Winter. We stayed in early January. The ferry will drop you off in the city at the Aquarium, a short hike to historic points of interest, shopping and dining. If you need provisions, the nearby 7-11 is more like a small grocery store. 'Dunkies' and a great restaurant are next door to it. The USS Constitution is moored just a few minutes away. Uber is always 5 minutes from your door - Boston Logan is a short ride. The 'T' bus passes right by your front door should you want to explore further afield. All features and functions of a home are there - the heater worked great in Winter. Will be returning! A++++
