Vicki’s condo is so well positioned in beautiful “Southie”, where there is everything you need in the way of shopping for provisions or going out to eat on East Broadway (walking distance). A great neighbourhood - quiet but within reach of pretty much everything by car or Uber/cab.
For a first time visitor to the US, this was a great introduction to an amazing country, although for reasons of horrible 2 day/night jet lag after flying virtually non-stop MEL-LAX-BOS, together with attending a 4 day conference at Southport, I just did not see nearly enough of Boston.
If you are a dog lover missing your canine friends and being far from home, I can highly recommend a visit to the Yappy Bar at the extraordinary Liberty Hotel, which is a former gaol trixed up to the max into 5 star luxury. The Yappy Bar, only open on Wednesday nights in open air space adjoining the hotel, is absolute doggie madness with hounds of all breeds chasing each other around and having the bestest fun ever. Owners likewise except for the chasing perhaps and excellent service from hotel bar staff.
That was my one and only night out in Boston and it was wonderful.
Hoping to bring my husband back to have the same experiences only better, sometime soon.
Thanks Vicki for opening your condo up to visitors and to me in particular and answering all my dumb questions with promptness and style.
Cheers and best wishes from Downunder (via Staten Island, NY),
