Great location! Easy walk to Inman, Central and Harvard squares. Beautiful walk up Harvard street to Harvard square. The location felt very safe. Loved the balconies! Beds were incredibly comfortable. Very clean! Quiet! Off street parking! Having a washer and dryer was great! The kitchen was perfect! Absolutely loved the stay! Our host was great! Very quick to reply when we had questions. We normally stay between Harvard and Porter squares. This was a great change and I’m so glad we did it!

Great Space in Great Neighborhood

This space was perfect for the three of us. The host was very responsive any time we asked a question and we LOVED the neighborhood. Great access to restaurants, grocery stores, and a gym. Also an easy walk into the city. Highly recommend!

Great Location. Responsive hosts.

Apartment is about what one would expect for the price. Clean, relatively quiet, and functional, but a little cramped, especially the kitchen.

Bright Spot Near Inman

Centrally located near Central and Inman Squares, allowing access to many of Cambridge's best restaurants on foot. along with easy T access. Parking in this area can be expensive, so this is a major plus, as is the clear communication with the owner. In warmer times, the decks will provide a great eating spot. Furnishings are clean and comfortable.

Great place - a few commets

Security and inside unit was great. Location near some good retail and restaurants. Vomit on the sidewalk upon arrival and not cleaned up during our stay. Front bedroom has very loud street noise throughout the night and early morning. Bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Group staying inThe rental below is on the second floor were quite loud om Saturday night, keeping us awake most ofthe night. Contacted host who responded once but never followed up after that. Good place with lots of amenities, just be aware of busy street noise and dirty sidewalk and entrance steps.
