I stayed in Nicolo’s house with 2 of my colleagues over a week while we attended an exhibition. The house was a pleasure to stay in and is absolutely unique in terms of décor and style. The house was clean and while Nicolo wasn’t available during the stay there was a great deal of information provided to us, both in terms of the house and the surrounding area. The house was clean and well equipped with modern appliances. The front door operates on an electronic security system and doesn’t require keys which is absolutely perfect if you’re staying with people who you might not always be with. The Charlestown area was picturesque and quiet, though there was a number of small restaurants and stores within walking distance. We walked about during the evening and felt safe. We also had no problem getting a cab using the company recommended by Nicolo and were in downtown Boston within 10 minutes.
