A great place to stay, in the middle of North End (little Italy) of Boston. walking distance to downtown, close to North and Haymarket station, freedom trail, so many restaurants and cafes. Easy to check in and out. Richard is great with his communication. It's an older place but very clean and functional, it has a cooktop, oven microwave, utensils and all you need to cook if you want. The bed is comfortable enough. 4 steps down after the short door as others have mentioned but not too inconvenient. Pleasantly surprised that it's a quiet place despite being so close to everything.
