My parents were visiting me in Boston, so I was looking for a place in my neighborhood (the North End) for them to stay. This was perfect for them!!! It was on the first floor, which is a big deal in the north end, because many of the apartment buildings have very steep, narrow staircases that are difficult to lug suitcases up. The apartment itself was as described. It had a nice little patio in the back. The only thing my parents mentioned is that they wished there was a TV and coffee in the morning, but that's no big deal. Overall it served it's purpose well.
