About this property

Boutique Porter Square home / 1 stop from Harvard

Tucked away on a quiet private road just 8 minutes from Porter Square station, this stylish home feels calm and connected at once. Step outside and you’ll find cafés, restaurants, and city life within minutes — yet inside, it’s a quiet and warm sanctuary among the trees.

**The space**
This unit occupies the ground floor of a classic Cambridge house. The main floor features an eat-in kitchen, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms (with king beds) framed by leafy windows. It’s a peaceful, bright space — wide windows, mature trees, and the kind of space you don’t often find this close to everything.

**Guest access**
Guests have full access to the entire unit with its own private entrance.

We offer guests 1 visitor parking permit to use for street parking near the house.

The apartment was charming, well appointed and a terrific location. Amidst the Nor’easter, our hosts were excellent checking on us to make sure we were ok (without being obtrusive). As we had an unexpected weather related delay in our return, the host worked with us to stay an additional night. I would absolutely stay there again.
