Even though we were only staying here for a night during a layover, I would definitely consider this spot for a longer stay. It was a very nice renovation in an older building with plenty of space and a modern, well-equipped kitchen. We personally really liked the neighborhood; yes, it is directly across the water from Logan airport. But you'd be surprised how relatively quiet it is, and the noise from the planes was really not an issue. East Boston/Winthrop is a slice of the "real" Boston, and you're very close to downtown via car or the subway.
