Hotels near Boston Harbor Seaplane Base - BNH, Boston

The transit system takes a little bit of getting used to, if you are not from a city, but once you understand it, everything is fine. Also, if you are unsure of which way to go, there are employees, at the station, who are ready to answer your questions, and you can go the mbta. com site too. I used the site to tell me which trains to take when we wanted to go somewhere, and if I was unsure I would ask an employee once I was there. I enjoyed Boston a lot, and would definitely visit it again, especially because we could see our grandson too. That was the main reason we came to Boston, but we enjoyed the city too with the history and sites.

this inn cost less than $200/night with tax - a fantastic price which allowed us to spend more on meals, the parking was free, and it's only ~2-3 blocks from the Davis subway station, with Pemberton Market across the street for meals. hopefully they will update their mattresses soon as ours was uncomfortable but we were able to sleep.

We didn't visit Chelsea during the day, just got some take out food one of the nights (there are options not too far from the hotel). For what we saw around the hotel, it didn't strike me as a particularly beautiful area, but it's a short drive to Boston, and very close to the airport (but we didn't hear any plane noise.) We didnt explore public transportation options to Boston, but my impession is that can be a hustle. However it'ss close to Boston, so if you have a car is a short drive and my guess is that a taxi or Uber should be affordable too.

Winthrop was a great town! We walked to the yacht clubs and Deer Island - enjoyed the beach front, picking up shells and clams, and the local restaurants had some pretty good food! Try D'Parma and Woody's! Bus transportation was great (except on Sunday) so we didn't need a rental to get anywhere we wanted.

For a relatively large city Boston has a gentle, laidback and relaxed atmosphere. There's a strong connection with (relatively recent) US history without this being slapped in your face. We were able to walk almost everywhere easily, to see sights and to reach excellent restaurants and food stores. For longer distances the subway was convenient and reasonably priced.

A city of students is filled which values parks and outdoors. Neighborhoods have lots of trees and beautiful architecture. You'll find gems like the Harvard Museum with its temporary exhibits or the Museum of Modern Arts. The Revolutionary historic walks are a must as a walk on the wharf. Local activities in summer everywhere.
