Nice apartment, cozy and clean. We were family of 4, 2 young kids. Host was very nice, went above and beyond to provide us a Pack&Play for the baby too. We just needed a place to sleep for a few days, so this was just perfect for us. Assigned parking was a great benefit. Great location.

Great short stay

Location was exactly what we needed. It’s a little small for 3 grown women and their items for more than a couple days. But it’s as described. Steps were difficult for 75 year old granny, but it was only for 2 days so not a problem. It was clean and had a great shower so we were happy.

Victor is an excellent host, and the apartment was perfect for our needs. There is some ambient noise, normal for an area like Cambridge. Everything was very clean and comfortable, communication was excellent, checkin was easy and Victor is an amiable host. We will check availability here anytime we're back in the area.

I stayed for 3 days to visit my daughter in Harvard and my son, 10th grade had a plan visiting other colleges in Boston. We really enjoyed staying there; close to Harvard square, everything that I needed, and very clean. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Boston.

A relaxing space during a difficult time

I sought a pet-friendly haven during a week-long visit to Cambridge. The purpose of my visit was to attend a funeral, so having a place where I could relax alone in the evenings was important. The studio is cozy, and perfectly suited my needs: a comfortable bed and a desk, windows looking out onto trees, a bathroom with a shower massage, and a small but practical kitchen where I prepared myself all kinds of meals in the morning and evening. Being vegan, it meant a great deal to know I did not have to scrounge around for food I could eat. Other reviewers have noted that the street the studio overlooks is a busy one, and this is true. There is a constant whooshing of traffic, but not much in the way of sirens or honking. I found it did not disturb my sleep or composure at all. And I will add that this is generally the price of convenience: I was a five-minute walk from Fresh Pond Park, where my dog delighted to run, where I had pleasure birdwatching and chatting with other dog walkers; I was a short drive from Boston proper, but also from the funeral home, a coffee shop, and a grocery. The easiness of my stay made the sound of wheels on the street a story below irrelevant. The host lives in the house, and I spoke with him twice, just to say hello. He was friendly and asked if I was comfortable or needed anything. It was good to know there were others nearby I could call on in case of a problem. I highly recommend the host and the studio.
