Must-see view. 6 houses down from the apartment.
My favorite place in Boston, gorgeous stairways made of marble and make sure you find your way up to the third floor for some beautiful art on every wall and even the ceiling. Also make sure you go out into the courtyard. It's so quiet in there you could hear a pin drop and yet its right in the heart of downtown. The walls of the library protect it from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

View from the 50th floor in the heart of downtown. What more do you need to know? Amazing, especially after you've visited some parts of the city as a place to recap and connect the dots, you can see Fenway and yes, with the little bincoluars, you can see my house.

Getting Around
There's a bus (the 120) from here to the house but do not walk from Orient Heights because its very steep up hill. Instead use Suffolk Downs.

Preferred T stop if you are walking. Turn right at the triangle and head up the hill. Do not veer to the right at the intersecting stop sign. Everyone does that. Stay left once you are going up the hill.
