We had a wonderful time at Gina's place where we stayed for our daughter's graduation. We love the North End of Boston, and Gina's place gives you an authentic North End experience - close to Italian restaurants, cannoli, bread and pastry shops, parks, historical sites and more - yet it's in a little courtyard so it's very quiet as well. Upon entering the courtyard, we felt like we were in Little Italy because it was filled with flowers in pots, window boxes, and colorful statues. It felt so welcoming. The apartment itself is beautiful, convenient, and clean. It was nice to have two bathrooms, too. It's clear that a lot of thought was put into decorating the apartment because it feels high-end (without being stuffy), very comfortable, and convenient for guests. We really liked all the books about Boston and the North end, even though we didn't have time to read them. Gina is a wonderful host because she clearly cares about her guests' experience. We will definitely be back, and I've already told many of our friends about Gina's place.
