Excellent base to explore Boston. Charlestown in very quaint - residential area, quiet and clean and tidy - lots of history. Stone throw from Bunker hill monument and easy transport system to head downtown - number 93 bus is best for getting back and forward but there is also a ferry down by the waterfront that is worth taking to see Boston from a different perspective. Accommodation is very homely and comfortable and just as advertised. Marie and Gerard were friendly and helpful.
