Richards place in Boston's North End was a fantastic find. The location couldn't be better. We were there for a short family visit that happened to be taking place three blocks from his flat. Cute little historic five story row home that had been in the family forever. Super nice wood floors and trim and newer windows. That gas fireplace you see in the photos was so comforting after a long day on the Freedom Trail! Linens and kitchen utensils fully stocked and ready for use. Just like you see in the photos. Plenty of hot water and super clean and NOT smelly. It is a walk up, but we managed fine. It is near the tunnels so there is a bit of traffic but all very manageable. A short walk to Boston Public Market, Paul Revere's home, and the Old North Church (one if by land, two if by sea!),and right smack in the middle of some fabulous Italian foods and markets. We would/will stay there in a heartbeat. Richard is also very responsive and would've been helpful had we needed him! I can't wait to visit Boston again and when we do, we will be booking Richards place so you better get you reservations in soon!
