The location of Paolo's apartment couldn't be better. Lots of bakeries and restaurants in walking distance. We walked to the aquarium and Quincy Market with our two young children (~15 minutes) and even stopped at a few of the local playgrounds. The view was incredible! We brought an air mattress for our two kiddos to sleep on and the space was tight with that blown up. I think they may have fit on the pull out couch if we had tried it. We had most meals right at the apartment and had everything we needed (except a spatula for flipping eggs). The street noise is quite loud for those who aren't used to it. The shower is a bit tight as would be expected in a small apartment and the water gets HOT (as an FYI for those with young children)! We enjoyed our stay very much!
