This is a great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Cambridge. There are stairs, but it is so convenient.

. . . . entered the apartment and the neighborhood was not only friendly yet also beautiful. Really nice floors and balconies! I used televisions for education on YouTube and enjoyed the view as meditation.

Property was in a great location, but definitely has seen better days. It would suffice for younger crowds coming to visit their friends in Cambridge. The stairs to walk up are not the easiest for anyone who has minor challenges with stairs. The door opens toward the stairs, making it challenging to unlock and enter if your hands are full. The electronic lock is finicky, and at one point it locked us out due to too many retries. We were simply trying to activate the keypad to enter the code. Luckily, someone from our party was in the unit and we woke them up to let us in. The most concerning thing about the lock was we had no idea how long we’d have to wait until we could retry the code once we were locked out of using the keypad. Didn’t feel comfortable parking in the drive, as it’s a tandem spot and you have to coordinate with other tenants if anyone needs to move. Street parking requires a permit, except on weekends and evenings. Kitchen wasn’t filthy, but there were spots that had a decent amount of dust buildup. One of the beds had a frame that was too big, and a piece of metal stuck out that one of our party had a rather unfortunate encounter with. I dunno how that hasn’t been an issue previously. The paper shades were fastened up with some sort of chip clips that were at their max being only halfway up. This was a nuisance. Walkability was really good, short distance to Harvard square and the metro station.

The Property was charming and clean. It was close to Harvard Square and the Campus at a reasonable price. The owner was reachable and helped out with questions. It was very warm when we arrived and the A/C was not working. Opening the windows and with couple of portable fans helped to cool down. Kitchen was nice and clean.
