What a great little airbnb. Sarah's place is as advertised. When it came to location, value -we paid $187 a night-, ambiance, and ease of everything from checking in to access to things, this place has it all.
You are in a central location, on the freedom trail and walking distance to everything you can imagine. There is a cute little cafe across the street and a convenience store a few buildings away should you need anything, but if you need suggestions, Sarah has a lot of knowledge and great recommendations that she was more than happy to share.
Reiterating what's stated in the listing: this unit is in a historic building. This means that it's not super insulated and sound does travel. Each time someone enters or exits the building you're going to hear the door, or hear them go up the steps, every single footstep of the person upstairs can be heard and it can be quite loud- my husband joked that it sounded like Sasquatch was running loose up there xD, so if you like to sleep early or you're bothered by those noises, be sure to pack some earplugs. We did and slept great.
Also note that this unit is in the basement and while it does have a floor level window that allows some natural light in, the ambiance is best described as cozy. Finally, if you like to cook, be sure to pack your seasonings, the kitchen is fully equipped with all cookware and utensils you'll need, but doesn't have anything in the way of salt, pepper, sugar, oil, coffee, tea, etc. Again, this is not a complaint, just something to note so you can settle in and enjoy your stay here.
And that's exactly what you should do. Book this unit and enjoy everything North End has to offer :D
