Yes, there were plenty of places nearby to eat and go shopping as needed. The place was very nice, but could use a bit of maintenance work like ceiling tiles being replaced, the toilet updated a bit, and perhaps some painting. It was very nice overall.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It's a spacious two-bedroom unit in an old wooden house without adequate reinforcement of its structures. Walking in the room or someone walking upstairs or in staircase can produce loud noises from loosened wood structures. Kitchen was not adequately cleaned. Countertop still had marks left from uncleaned dish plates. The dish rack was partly rusted. Cooktop, coffee maker, frig, etc. were all in good working condition, but not enough cooking utensils were available. It's a two-bedroom apartment, but I was the only one staying there this time and my demands were very minimal. "Harvard Square two block" can be misleading. It's a solid ten minutes walk. When the weather is nice, the location is perfect.

The host did not give us the key or passcode. We didn’t get an email with instructions by the time we landed in Boston. I started texting from the Uber and tried calling when we got to the house. It was too cold to wait for too long. We had to book and stay in a hotel instead. Very disappointing. Corporate VRBO gave me our money back but nothing additional for the uber or the inconvenience of trying to sort out the mess. I was on the phone with them for 30 minutes while they were trying to locate the host and help me with the situation, which I would have preferred to spend at the event with my daughter that I came to Boston for.

So NOT stay here! The place is disgusting. The floors are uneven, peeling paint, broken furniture, etc. Had a tile in the ceiling of the bathroom fall and hit me on the head. Renters response was “Thanks, I’ll let the cleaner know! Didn’t stay, rented a hotel room…

We enjoyed our stay here. It is an older building but it was clean and comfy. It was close to Harvard, across the from the Charles River. The stairs were a bit narrow to get to it in the 2nd floor. Mike was very responsive when we asked for extra towels. We would stay here again.

Overall it is what it is. Reasonable 2 br apartment in Cambridge convenient to transportation. If you are coming to the area to experience the town it is a safe and quiet place to stay. The place itself was clean but its an older home that could use some work. We slept comfortably, made food and were able to relax when not sightseeing. Would use again if in the area.

Apartment was exactly as described. It was clean and cozy. A bit outdated but only stayed 1 night so it was fine. Owner was so extremely helpful in our travels! The road right at the house had been shut down the day of our arrival which made it a little difficult to navigate to but he stayed on the phone with us and talked us through our route! Would definitely stay again!

Great Location in Cambridge

Other reviews on this location were spot on. It's an old building and there is definitely some upkeep needed. The kitchen is missing quite a few things. For instance, there was one bowl. We made it work, but there should be more going on in a VRBO kitchen. The location is FANTASTIC! This was our first visit to Boston and felt like we were able to get anywhere we wanted in a short amount of time. I had heard about traffic nightmares in Boston, but that just wasn't the case while we were there. We were pleasantly surprised to see that they close down Memorial Drive on Sundays (in the summer) to traffic allowing people to run, walk, ride bikes, rollerblade, etc on this four lane road for a little over a mile. I had my bike with me and took advantage of this. On one occasion, we needed to reach out to Mike. Upon check in, we noticed that towels were provided, but no washcloths. By that evening, we had a bunch of BRAND NEW washcloths and hand towels. That was an impressive response!
