Jose's place offered a little taste of what it might be like to live in Boston's North End. Can't beat the location -- just steps from historic Old North Church along The Freedom Trail, and so close to many amazing restaurants, bakeries (Mike's Pastry!!), pizzerias and coffee shops on Salem and Hanover Streets, and side streets. And within walking distance to the rest of Boston. I thought there would be a lot of street noise, but surprisingly, there wasn't. The only noise was the creaky floors of the unit above, and a small gathering in one of the neighboring units early on a Friday night. I really barely noticed it, and was able to sleep with no disturbance.
Overall, the unit was very comfortable. The bedroom was spacious. It would have been nice to have a table/shelf/dresser in the bedroom to put things on, but not a huge problem. Only one of the two small closets was really usable, as one had cleaning equipment and other stuff. Again, not a huge deal. The kitchen was very small, but I did not use it, other than the sink and refrigerator. Bathroom was very clean, and the shower had great water pressure...and very hot water. Figuring out the front door lockbox was a little tricky, but I guess if I had read the instructions more carefully it might have been easier.
I would definitely stay here again!
