Maureen's place is in a great location to explore Boston. Communication before I arrived was easy. Key exchange was simple - I waited maybe 10 mins for Ralph to arrive with the keys. A quiet street at the steps of the bustling North End. No shortage of fabulous restaurants on your doorstep and a great local pub just a few doors down. Boston is easy to navigate on foot and Maureen's apartment was a wonderful base. You will need to climb some narrow steps so keep this in mind if you've got lots of luggage. Make sure you bring soap as it wasn't provided. All linen and towels were. There was an overhead fan to keep the air in the apartment moving - though was really warm on my last day there - and no airconditioning. All in all, a good stay.
