Alex's place is wonderful. It is in the middle of everything. The North End attractions are only a few steps away. The apartment is located up stairs, with no elevator, but it is an easy walk with a great view of the Saint's parades that take place every weekend in August. The North End is so fun and full of excited energy during that time! All the little touches Alex does to make this place feel welcoming are not missed, from the greeting letter to the surprise treat. I highly recommend this place and I will be staying here when I return to Boston!
