Easy to get to Cambridge and Boston by bike or car or uber, nice area conveniently close parks and bike pathways and grocery stores, shopping etc. Quiet house, ceilings in the apartment are a bit low but not a problem as we spent most of our time out and about. Thanks!

The basement apartment is located close to Harvard Square and is adequately furnished with large kitchen appliances. The price is great for the area, but there were two problems. first of all, there was no cell phone reception within the apartment; one had to step outside in order to complete a call or send a text message. The other problem is that the house is located on a VERY busy street, with heavy traffic much of the day. As a result, getting out of the driveway requires one to turn around one's car in a very narrow spot, with a large tree and bushes interfering. The owner has made an arrangement with his neighbor to facilitate this, but it is still quite difficult to negotiate the u-turn needed.

So here's the reality--- we came to Boston for the 1 st time-- we were interested in sites, history and a Red Sox game. We were able to enjoy all of those! The apartment fit our basic needs but no more than that. Minimal furnishings/ dishes/linens. Apartment is a converted basement so very low ceilings and very humid. All tile floors which was nice. There are windows into apartment and main level that you can see directly into and The bathroom has a door that opens to the shared laundry room. ( we didn't have any issues but just felt a little odd) . Also, no television . Owners very nice, allowed us to travel w/ our 2 dogs. In a nutshell--- if u just need a clean bed and don't mind a 20 minute bus/train ride to the sites this is fitting--- if u want a comfortable home to spend time and relax, probably not for you.

Three words about this place: location, location, location. It's close to everything in Cambridge and Harvard Square. There's a great lake (Fresh Pond) just 1/2 block North which has an awesome 3-mile walking/running trail. And we caught the T (train/subway) to Boston from a park-and-ride just a few minutes North of the property, which saved a ton of time and money over driving into Boston. The place itself is a bit tight. The ceilings are very low. My wife and I are both 5' 9" and hit our heads several times. The kitchen and eating area is pretty small, so cooking and eating in the unit is tough. The sleeping room is comfy and adequate, but for four of us it was a bit tight. Fine for a couple nights, but our family of four was ready to get to a larger place after that.

We think it's needs a TV and board games to make it feel more homey otherwise we loved it. Great location! Because transportation was easy. It was a great place to stay :) we'd stay there again!!
