Don’t ask us how, but we put the wrong address into the GPS, and ended up in Charlestown, MA, rather than Boston. This was approximately 10 minutes away from the condo, same street name. Before we realized our mistake, we parked the car at Nautica Parking Garage ($26 for an overnight stay); it was a $9 UberX ride away. A better parking location would have been 660 Washington Street Parking. We noticed this was right around the corner; it was also the spot recommended by Rachel, our host. I can’t speak to their rates.
Anyway - We loved the space! It was very clean, functional, and comfortable. The couch is a nice size, cozy. The bed is a full, I believe. It could be a tight fit, but the mattress was comfortable! The size wasn’t an issue. The tv in the bedroom has cable (basic package?), and the tv in the living room has cable, and Netflix (if you have a login). There is a thermostat located right before the bedroom. It was a little chilly when we first arrived, but it warmed up very quickly after we adjusted it. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t terribly strong, and the temperature was a bit touchy, but it’s clearly an old building. It wasn’t a deal breaker!
The condo location was perfect. If you’re not terribly familiar with the area it can feel a little sketchy, but it’s really not. We have visited the North End several times, and traveled through it in the late night hours - we have never felt unsafe. Quincy Market is about a 15 minute walk, the aquarium takes an extra 5 minutes. Bova Bakery & Monica’s Mercato are both about 5 minutes away, walking distance. There’s a cute breakfast spot at the end of the street, Theo’s, but it only takes cash. TD Garden is about 10 minutes away.
Overall, a great stay, and we will definitely consider this space if it is available for our next visit!
