Lovely large apartment, comfortably and appealingly furnished, with a great selection of books and games that give it a very homey feel. Anne is very welcoming and accommodating. Just a few steps from Harvard Square, away from the bustle but super conveniently close to everything. A perfect place for our stay during Harvard commencement week.

Even with some street work being done nearby, parking was so easy with the provided parking permit, especially for someone with mobility issues. Easy walk to Harvard Square and you can see the sparkle of the river across the green from the house. Historic Longfellow house one block up the street, too! Anne was very communicative during our stay.

Kind, present, communicative host. Excellent location for Harvard Sq. without being in the chaos of it. Lovely access to Charles River bike/run path, with a walking loop via Harvard Sq. and the Kennedy School that made a morning outing for coffee and pastries extra pleasant and purposeful with my preschooler. The accommodations are personal, ample, and well-provisioned. Easy to stay as one parent with a little kiddo and could also easily imagine being comfortable with more people. We felt like we had a quiet refuge to relax in as a counterpart to the stimulation of city outings. A Cambridge gem!
