**Please consider the age of this home**
--> This is an old home with old home quirks including settling and lower ceilings; as such, if you're taller than 6'1'' you may find the shower to be tight. We do not want to disappoint our guests. We live upstairs and while conversations cannot be heard, we like to warn our guests that sound does tend to travel in our old home; as such, it is likely that loud sounds transfer if they occur. Any questions or concerns about this aspect of the property please feel free to reach out.

About the host

Why they chose this property
When we moved across country 5 years ago and landed in the North End we instantly fell in love! It’s quiet and walkable to cafes and the waterfront. We are also 5 minutes from downtown and the interstate. The charm and walk ability of the area cannot be beat!
What makes this property unique
The 1 bedroom partially below grade apartment is the bottom floor of our 1926 duplex. We’ve upgraded it to bring forth the comforts of 2025. It really is home away from home vibes. It’s comfortable and private but also not a big business conglomerate ! We live upstairs and welcome you to enjoy our backyard at your discretion.
