when i stay in a location, i try to capture the flavor of a place. Marie and Gerrard's apartment did just that. their house is gorgeous and a period home, with the apartment downstairs.
it was roomy and comfortable, too. looks just like the pictures.
check in was easy. Gerrard spent time with us pointing out places to see. Marie stopped by after work to make sure everything was okay.
the washer dryer was great. my daughter used it, as we had spent 5 days in NYC prior to our Charlestown visit.
the sofa bed was comfortable. did have trouble finding a place to put the coffee table, when the bed was pulled out.
the neighborhood is great and within walking distance of Bunker Hill and the Freedom Trail.
A shopping mall and restaurants are within walking distance, too.
We made a loop to go to Boston. We went to the wharf and viewed the USS Constitution, then took the ferry to Long Wharf. From there we started the freedom trail. It is an amazing walk. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes, as most of the walk is bricks, which some were missing and uneven. It's easy to miss Paul Revere's house....and Faneuil Hall is a must see.
we walked back to the apartment.
We used UBER the next day to take us to Lexington. We did their trolley tour of Lexington/Concord. I highly recommend this tour. Wish we could have spent more time here. The battle trail would have been interesting to do.
Our experience with UBER was great. We used them for getting to the airport, as well as getting back and forth from Lexington. they were 5 minutes away, all times, were polite. If you use them, look at reviews, because people list coupon codes, and you can save $20 off your first trip.
wow-guess I got carried away.
this was an amazing stay and area of the country to visit. Marie and Gerrard made it more special by sharing their place with us. Thanks.
