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!
Everything was as "advertised". Quiet neighborhood, reasonable walk to the T and Harvard grounds. Also very close to Whole foods and Walgreens.Was clean and served our purpose well as a home base to explore the Boston area.
