It was a great decision staying in Charlestown and not directly in Boston Downtown. Near to Bunker Hill Monument and Navy Yard. The neighborhood is quiet and it is very relaxing to walk along the narrow streets. T is about 10 minutes on foot but it is also an easy walk to North End and the sights around. Also the ferry (F4) to Long Wharf is highly recommended. Marie was a great host, fantastic communication. The apartment was well equipped as described and completely private.
