Jose was very helpful in getting me and my girlfriend set up at his place for a week. We enjoyed the close proximity to the many great restaurants and attractions in the North End. We felt very safe as the alley was well-lit at night. The amenities were great and the window AC unit helped us get through some very hot and humid summer nights. If you are a light sleeper, be wary that you can hear what is going on in the apartment upstairs, as the floorboards creak and the sound insulation is not the best. However, we had no trouble sleeping. Thank you!
