This studio was very good value for the price, and the neighborhood can't be beat. I really enjoyed the heart of Old North End! Jose/Jason was readily averrable when I had difficulty with the lock box on the front porch. The bargain price may be due to the depression in the mattress, the noise through the ceiling from (polite) footsteps overhead, and the loud industrial air compressor just outside the window. Personally, I'd consider myself lucky to snag this booking again in Boston for a touristy visit.
