This place is a perfect location for exploring Boston's North End. While the street is quiet (and close to the waterfront), the upstairs neighbors were anything but and engaged in a couple of loud midnight arguments. I grew up in the city and that's just one of the things that comes with communal living I suppose. Overall the apartment has a good amount of space. It's a bit of a funky layout with exterior doors (that lead to a dingy alley space) in each bedroom and the main door is fully glass (I assume the apartment was once commercial space?). The new kitchen and bathroom are nice, but a bunch of the living and dining room furniture have seen better days. Overall, for the location and the amount of space, this is a great option in a great part of Boston. The host was very communicative and responsive.
