The house is in the perfect location of the city, near Faneuil Hall, the North End (the Italian section), and the Freedom Trail. It's tucked away behind several bars and restaurants, with private parking. There were so many Italian restaurants a short walk away, that we had difficulty choosing where to go. The house was very clean, with all the amenities we needed. The history of the house made it a fun place to stay. The bars turned into night clubs at 10 pm, and the noise was hard to ignore. Despite that, we slept great. It helped that the beds were very comfortable. Ear plugs were provided. but even though we didn't all use them, we all slept through it. There is a private patio which is sort of like a secret garden. There was a sewage odor outside the gate in the alleyway, coming from the sewer grate, so this may bother someone if they wanted to use the patio. I mention the noise and odor in the alley so you aren't surprised. Despite these issues, I highly recommend this house. We would stay here again in a minute.
