We were delighted with every aspect of our stay at Gina’s La Gemma! Gina is an exceptional hostess as exemplified by her well equipped home, from the gourmet kitchen that held a bouquet of fresh flowers, to the first-aid kits on both floors and other amenities too numerous to mention. I enjoyed the challenge of the tight spiral staircase, went down backward and held on to the rail. My suite case is an extra large soft sided one, upon exit, I carried the case upstairs and brought the contents up in three plastic grocery bags, worked like a charm. Our 15 year old grandson deadlifted 530 lbs. at his regional Power Lifting meet, but after he took the third bag down stairs when we first arrived, he commented that it had been a difficult task. The brain can often compensate for lack of brawn. We enjoyed staying in a city neighborhood and visiting the friendly eateries and shops. Bob at Bob’s Grocery saw us numerous times, he was much nearer than Star Market. Bova’s Bakery is open around the clock and the food is delicious. La Gemma is in an excellent location to walk the freedom trail and reach other points of interest in Boston, we walked ever where we went with three exceptions: We took the T to JFK Library, and enjoyed our first two Ever, Uber rides. I highly recommend La Gemma as an extra special place to stay.
