Johns place is very clean and well-ventilated making for a very comfortable stay. His queen bad was equally comfortable giving a relaxing sleep after a day of walking. There are fine taverns and restaurants within walking distance and be sure to check out Capos, featuring fine Italian fare, about a 5-minute walk, Public transportation is also a short walk. The apartment has good ventilation with windows in front and back. Be careful of the steep staircase, but that's Boston. Also, there is public transportation a few blocks away. Our boys live in Boston so we will be back and plan to stay at Johns if available. Good value for the money. Don't pass this one up.
