My adult son & I spent 2 nights here, and really enjoyed the location and the comfortable apartment. Although it's located on a fairly busy street it was pretty quiet most of the time, and felt private up on the 2nd floor. Weather was really hot but we were comfortable with the window AC, and the place is well shaded by lovely large trees. There was a bit of confusion about our needing the 2nd bed, but the housekeeper was super responsive and helpful so all was easily resolved!Only suggestion is to get a new coffee maker plus some filters (the one there was not in good shape) and provide some coffee to use, since nearest coffee houses are about 6 blocks or more walk away. (Instant coffee provided in fridge is not the same...) That would have gotten our mornings off to a quicker start in more ways than one lol!I would definitely stay again when in Cambridge, this place is very convenient to bus lines into Harvard & town, and easy walk to Fresh Pond park and the gorgeous Mt. Auburn Cemetery!
