We enjoyed our stay at this cozy apt. It now has air conditioning and was very comfortable on the hot & humid Boston days. The location is a short walk from the T, but very doable. We felt very safe at this location and throughout the city. We stayed there with our 5 year old son. We used the fold out bed as the full bed isn't large enough for the 3 of us. Both were comfortable. I wouldn't recommend more than 3 people. Ralph was waiting for us when we arrived, making the check in process very simple. The Waterfront Cafe just down the block is excellent, as are all of the restaurants we tried in the North End and throughout Boston. Parking is tricky and expensive - we returned our rental car and got the weeklong pass for the T. The best way to drop off luggage before returning the car is to park temporarily on Foster St which is right at the entrance to the apt. We took a cab back to the airport for about $15. Bottom line - would stay here again - great value!
