Outstanding location 1 block from the Charles River and a few blocks from river houses at Harvard. It was the perfect location for easy walking to the campus. A Whole Foods is also within walking distance. The air conditioning was so valuable during the summer heat. Beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Our host made everything easy and efficient. The property is spacious and serene, and adjacent to a secluded playground, basketball and tennis courts, and baseball field, making it feel like a more intimate setting than you would expect while all the benefits of Cambridge and Boston are at your fingertips. We would definitely stay there again!

The owner was excellent and the house very nice. It is a convenient location. The stairs were steep for me at 75, but ok for younger members of the family. There is a low ceiling warning half-way down the stairs. If you plan to cook bring your own basics (salt, pepper, sugar…) or plan to buy. Also bring your own wash clothes and hand towels. Overall we had a good stay and found a few local restaurants.
