Perfect location

Such a great location - only a 10 minute walk to the Central Square T station on the redline. The property was clean, the neighborhood is quiet, and there are so many cute restaurants within a short walk. Jon is fantastic to deal with - responds quickly to any request/message. We had a great stay!

Outstanding location in Cambridge. Super short walk to Whole Foods, and convenient to restaurants, MIT and Harvard. Had a wonderful stay with singular exception of upstairs neighbors having a loud party after 12:30 AM on a Wednesday. Otherwise, five stars all the way.

Graduation trip

The description of the property was accurate. Easy check-in, clean, had pretty much everything we needed for a 6 day stay. It was easy getting in and out of the property and on-site parking was a must for us. We drove back and forth from Cambridge into Boston and this location made that very convenient.

This condo was very nice for our trip to the Boston area. Check-in was easy. The condo was very clean. Off-street parking was definitely a plus. It is only a 5-min walk to the closest grocery store, and a 10-min walk to the Central Square red line T station. It's about a 15 to 20-min walk to Harvard Square, where there are a lot of shops and restaurants.

Great space and location for our family

The location was great with a 10-15 min walk to both the green and red lines and about 25 minutes to walk to Harvard Square. A Whole Foods was nearby to pick up food and a great bagel/pizza shop down the street. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood and letting our young adult kids walk about on their own. The condo had lots of space and a great kitchen to make meals. Would stay again.

Great location but noisy upstairs and no cable

The positive- location was good and our bed was comfortable. Negatives - for the price there was no cable tv, sparse kitchen; very noisy upstairs and to the side in building. The floor was badly scratched up and the furniture was uncomfortable. One bedroom’s box spring was not the right size for the mattress. There was zero art on the walls so it felt uninviting.
