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 A bit outdated but only stayed 1 night so it was fine.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!

The place is “old Cambridge” all the way. It’s tired and old (reminded me of 50-60 year old renovations I did in area 25 years ago!)Anyway it was clean and the kids were happy the WiFi worked.Need a coat of paint

The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. I had a little trouble getting in at first, and the proprietor gave me quick, clear instructions over the phone. The apartment is a little shabby -- torn carpet, missing showerhead, things like that. But it was very clean and comfortable.

Cozy and quiet

This was the perfect place to stay for a night. It’s a great place to walk around. We wished we stayed another night. Inside the place is a little dated but we loved it’s charm and character.

They left bottles of water and snacks which was nice. The apartment and house is in need of repairs. But it had all the all gadgets to use. Cupboards old, floors old.stairs old, property needs to be maintained. It was a nice quiet area and walking distance to stores.
