Richard's place on Noyes is an absolutely perfect location to enjoy the North End in Boston. Because it is down a side street, you don't hear the street noise, but you are just a few steps away from the center of activity and the plethora of Italian restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. The basement apartment has a well-supplied kitchen, a dining and living room area, and a separate bedroom with a comfy bed. Another perk is the access to a washer and dryer in the building. There were lots of clean towels and extra bedding. Richard was super easy to communicate with, and he was very helpful all during the stay. I would definitely stay here again. I was a solo woman traveler and felt perfectly safe.
