Bruno's place was perfect for us. Walking distance to the metro, to a beautiful view of the city by the shore, and to several little convenience stores. He was friendly, kind and helpful the one time we had an issue with the tv. The house felt empty the whole time we were there, not noisy or crowded at all. It was also very easy to go in and out as if it was our own. The room has everything you need and he even provided toiletries and a little bag with chocolates which was so sweet. We will be staying here every time we go to Boston :)
