Our stay in North Boston was great. We felt like we were still in Italy. We were a short walk away from the water and from the subway. We were literally on the Freedom Trail. You can't get better than that if you are visiting Boston. Howard was a fantastic host. He went above and beyond for us - lending us a blanket, printing our boarding passes, and giving us great suggestions as to where the locals eat. The room itself was neat and clean with our own bathroom and many of the amenities you usually have to pack were right there at our fingertips. THANKS Howard.
