Vacation Apartment for four, August 13-16, near Little Italy

Four of us will be traveling to Boston August 13-16 to check out the Italian festival. We would really love to rent a vacation apartment for four days, where we could cook our own meals. Being Italians, we love doing this! Can anyone advise where we should start our search? We would love to be in or near Little Italy. Thanks.

You could check LaCappella Suites to see if they have rooms available:

www.lacappellasuites.com

Here, each floor has a common living room %26amp; dining room. They have the refrigerator, microwave, toaster %26amp; coffeemaker any way, just not a stove. Each morning they offer a self-service breakfast in their dining areas. Tons of restaurants near by, as you know. There%26#39;s a Starbucks %26amp; 3 restaurants right there within walking distance for those that want to go out for breakfast in the morning. Contact Tricia Muse 8AM-10PM, triciamuse@aol.com or 888 523-9020.

I also just saw a really cute vacation apartment, perfect for 4 that you could find out about. The only thing is, it says it%26#39;s about 15 minutes from Logan, it could be over in Jamaica Plain or some other neighborhood, I have no idea where it%26#39;s located, you%26#39;d have to find that part of it out. This one rents for the week, you could find out if they%26#39;d rent it for 4 days though if you%26#39;re interested in it, just get in touch with them, here%26#39;s info on it, the pictures of it are really nice:

Also, there%26#39;s several really good condo rental possibilities on ';Craigslist';'; right in the heart of the North End that you should check out. They look pretty good too!

Wow, thanks for all the information. I%26#39;ll definitely check out all the suggestions. I never thought about Craigslist, but you are correct. There are always people looking to rent out apartments. I%26#39;ll report when we find something, and thanks so much again. Viva Tripadvisor!

The Marriott Residence Inn (residenceinnboston.com) could be a good option for you. It`s beautifully situated on Boston Harbor and a quick walk to Boston`s historic, Italian North End. The suites have fully equipped kitchens, a full buffet breakfast is included each day and there`s a nice indoor pool. For your dates in August they`re offering a suite with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed for $259. You could possibly find better rates at some of the discount travel sites.

I forgot to mention that The Residence Inn offers discouted rates to AAA members. The hotel also has 2 bedroom suites although I don`t see availabiliy for those on your dates. A phone call to the hotel may find you some availability for those.

Thanks for that lead, also. We are so excited about coming to Boston. We are from San Diego, CA, and it is the first time visit to Boston for our friends.

You`re very welcome. I respectfully suggest that if you`re even remotely interested in this property that you book it ASAP. Boston is very busy in the summer and many of the rooms in this hotel are already booked. If you book through the residenceinnboston.com website, your reservation will be fully cancellable (with no penalties) up until the day of your schedueled arrival. You have nothing to lose.

If you decide to stay right in the North End (Italian section, it%26#39;s not called ';Little Italy'; here) be wary of potential noise. The feasts can be very noisy. I used to know someone who lived in the North End who would try to leave during the feasts because of this.

YES, the Marriott Residence Inn in Charlestown at Tudor Wharf along the Freedom Trail will be a great option IF they have rooms available. It%26#39;s pretty popular in the summer months, so if you decide you want to stay there, call right away for the rooms.

I know people that live in the North End right now too %26amp; do the same thing with leaving on weekends, especially in the summer when it gets packed with people. They%26#39;re usually at the Cape or up in NH any way.

This will also depend on where your condo/apartment will be located if you end up getting one there for your visit. It could be that it%26#39;s located along the outskirts of the North End near the waterfront and it wouldn%26#39;t be as bad with the noise that%26#39;s on or near Hanover Street. So just keep that in mind. It%26#39;s definitely pretty noisy on Hanover Street and down thru Thatcher it can be loud at times, especially during the St. Anthony feast, where it%26#39;s the biggest one of the summer in late August.

You%26#39;re arriving for the August 13-16th one! You%26#39;ll be at the 99th annual Fisherman%26#39;s Feast, have a wonderful time!
