Good overall experience. The walls are quite thin, so don’t let that bother you. You will hear your neighbors come and go at any hour. Also, there was construction going on upstairs that started at 8am and was quite loud. Not an issue if you’re planning on being up and about, but be aware in case you hope to sleep in.
Otherwise, the apartment is warm and cozy, and the building is full of historic charm. The ceiling beams alone were enough to make this New Yorker quite jealous!
The location is perfect, just steps from Old North Church and in the heart of Little Italy. The neighbor is buzzing at night with lines outside almost every restaurant. It was really fun to be surrounded by so much energy. Mornings are quiet, save for the occasional tourist group walking the Freedom Trail. It’s a close walk to Quincy Market and the Harbour. The apartment doesn’t sport many kitchen amenities, so take advantage of the immense restaurant selection in the neighborhood!
