Our family of 4 (2ad, 2ch - 12 and 17,) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Marie & Gerard's beautiful home. It was the perfect base from which to explore Boston and the surrounding area. They leave wonderful directions to public transportation (walking distance,) and local groceries and restaurants. The only suggestion I would make would be to let visitors know about the Charlie Card. Although we were only there for 4 days/3 nights, we purchased 7-day Charlie Cards, at the Comminity College Station kiosks, a few blocks from the house, and between the subway ("the T") and Charlestown-to-Long-Wharf ferry, we recouped the $21.25 cost in 3 days (10 T trips - 5 round-trip fares - cover it.) We would definitely stay here again, and recommend the Charlestown accommodations without hesitation.
