After two weeks of hotels we LOVED this place, hidden down a private laneway in Boston's North End. It's an old building but has everything you need, and the location is great (particularly if you like Italian food!). Walking distance to Quincy's Market and the apartment is pretty much right on the Freedom Trail.

If there was one negative it would be that you can hear your upstairs neighbours pretty clearly if they decide to be noisy, but that is expected in an older-style place like this.

(Theo's Cozy Corner just nearby is a great spot for breakfast too!)
