Me and my friends stayed in this place over the weekend. Everything was clean and as described. We did have a fairly major plumbing issue while we were staying, but Marc was in constant contact with us and was able to get a plumber in to fix it. The location is good, with plenty of accessability to restaurants, stores, and transportation.

Marc's Home was wonderful. The home was uniquely decorated with worldly art pieces that have clearly taken many thoughtful years to curate. The home was a located on a quiet street right around the corner from many shops, restaurants, and transit options. All of the beds were very comfortable and our group slept well each night. Our host Marc was easy and quick to communicate with us and answered any and all questions we had leading up to and during our stay. I would recommend Marc's place for any small group or family looking for a quiet, tasteful, and unique stay in the Cambridge/Somerville area!

Excellent location and very nice house. Steps from the Porter Square T, a surprising amount of living/dining space, and the host was available when needed. Thanks for a great stay.

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Cambridge, look no further! This house has a charming character both due to it being a historical home and Marc’s exquisite decorating. Marc is attentive without being overbearing, quickly responsive, and thinks ahead on key details to make your stay perfect. My family and I stayed for my graduation weekend, and Marc was wonderfully gracious—even letting us leave our bags for a few hours after checkout so we wouldn’t have to lug them around the city before our flights. The house is clean, interesting, and the downstairs is quite roomy. Definitely would stay here again!
