Location was exactly what we needed. It’s a little small for 3 grown women and their items for more than a couple days. But it’s as described. Steps were difficult for 75 year old granny, but it was only for 2 days so not a problem. It was clean and had a great shower so we were happy.

Beautiful neighborhood. This property suited our purpose well. Location gave good access to the events we attended for a much more reasonable price than a hotel.

Overall we had a great, peaceful stay. On our last day we ran into car trouble and the hosts were very gracious and understanding of the situation allowing us a later checkout and to store our things in the garage as we made other transportation arrangements.

Shorter than originally planned, we had a short stay in this apartment on the second floor that n the owners private house. Well equipped pantry, nice neighborhood and nice host. A little hard to find when we arrived in the dark. Walking distance (2 km) to Harvard sq and possible to use public transport but easier with own/hired car. Would consider again if I visit the Boston area.

Victor is an excellent host, and the apartment was perfect for our needs. There is some ambient noise, normal for an area like Cambridge. Everything was very clean and comfortable, communication was excellent, checkin was easy and Victor is an amiable host. We will check availability here anytime we're back in the area.

I stayed for 3 days to visit my daughter in Harvard and my son, 10th grade had a plan visiting other colleges in Boston. We really enjoyed staying there; close to Harvard square, everything that I needed, and very clean. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Boston.

I sought a pet-friendly haven during a week-long visit to Cambridge. The purpose of my visit was to attend a funeral, so having a place where I could relax alone in the evenings was important. The studio is cozy, and perfectly suited my needs: a comfortable bed and a desk, windows looking out onto trees, a bathroom with a shower massage, and a small but practical kitchen where I prepared myself all kinds of meals in the morning and evening. Being vegan, it meant a great deal to know I did not have to scrounge around for food I could eat. Other reviewers have noted that the street the studio overlooks is a busy one, and this is true. There is a constant whooshing of traffic, but not much in the way of sirens or honking. I found it did not disturb my sleep or composure at all. And I will add that this is generally the price of convenience: I was a five-minute walk from Fresh Pond Park, where my dog delighted to run, where I had pleasure birdwatching and chatting with other dog walkers; I was a short drive from Boston proper, but also from the funeral home, a coffee shop, and a grocery. The easiness of my stay made the sound of wheels on the street a story below irrelevant. The host lives in the house, and I spoke with him twice, just to say hello. He was friendly and asked if I was comfortable or needed anything. It was good to know there were others nearby I could call on in case of a problem. I highly recommend the host and the studio.

The apt was suitable for 2 people. While the kitchen was small, the appliances satisfied our limited morning needs. Would recommend some type of drain board and ensure that paper towels are present at check in.

A great value for a comfortable stay in the Boston area. We chose Cambridge as it seemed a little less hectic and more affordable. Victor's apt is just as described; with info on using the apt facilities (heat, air, fold out couch, etc.) and local transit and services info. Metro station is at nearby Harvard Square with easy access to Boston. Harvard University tour was interesting and informative. a laundry and Star Market is nearby for food,paper towels, napkins, etc. Gourmet food shop (Fromaggios) is nearby. It was perfect for us.

We loved our stay here. It’s a great place for 2 at best with easy access to Harvard Square, Boston, and other locations in the area. Victor and his wife were available for assistance and guidance, and are quite friendly. The street is busy so there is a lot of traffic noise if the windows are open. We would definitely stay here again.

I was happy with this property. It was convenient to public transportation and a short walk to a grocery, pharmacy, and coffee. The outside stair was a little inconvenient for my wife who had suffered a stroke in the past year. We managed and enjoyed our stay.

The studio apartment was conveniently located and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. Surprisingly quiet, given that the street is four lanes and quite busy, although residential, and warm inside while it was below zero outside.

The nearby Fresh Pond park is great for running and biking. The living space is ample for one or two people. It’s on a busy road. The kitchen lacks counter space. I thrifted several pieces of cookware that I left there, so it is now pretty well equipped. The owners are nice and helpful.

Victor let us check in early since we were traveling from NY. We loved our stay. Close to Boston but not noisy since it’s not on the T route. It had everything we could need.

This is the spot!

This is the spot!

This place was absolutely perfect for myself and my husband on our 10th wedding anniversary trip. It had more than we needed because had brought non-cookable items to eat for breakfast and dined out for dinner. It was good knowing if we had decided to cook something it was still an option. The location was excellent. I loved that there was a window unit for AC! It was not terribly hot during our stay but I like to sleep in very cold temps. The bed was super comfortable. Never met Victor face to face but he was always very friendly when corresponding and rather quick when responding! If I ever find my way up to the Boston area I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else.
