Huanan's beautiful apartment on Pinckney St in Beacon Hill exceeded our expectations! It was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do while we were in Boston and also very close to the Park St subway station. On our first day at Huanan's, we picked up some bacon, eggs, OJ, etc, at a nearby grocery store and cooked ourselves breakfast in the apartment, several days while we were there. Huanan's kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons, as well as salt and pepper. There was a small range, with both stove and an oven, and there was also a microwave we used several times to heat up leftovers. There was a big flat-screen TV on the wall, and we saw a remote, but we never once even thought about turning it on, as we were too busy enjoying all that the city of Boston has to offer, which is literally right outside Huanan's front door. Right across the street from Huanan's place at 20 Pinckney St is a home Louisa May Alcott's family rented when she was young, and just a few blocks away at 10 Louisburg Square is another home Louisa May Alcott owned and lived in as an adult.
If you're staying at Huanan's apartment, be sure to sign up for a free tour of the Massachusetts State House, which is only a few blocks away. The building is stunning, and our tour guide was excellent. Highly recommend!
Emmet's Pub, just a few blocks from Huanan's apartment was excellent. We really enjoyed the fish and chips and delicious Guinness drafts.
We'll definitely be back to Boston and will be looking forward to staying at Huanan's apartment again.
