Yes, there were plenty of places nearby to eat and go shopping as needed. The place was very nice, but could use a bit of maintenance work like ceiling tiles being replaced, the toilet updated a bit, and perhaps some painting. It was very nice overall.

Old and shabby. But doable if ur just lookin for a place to rest ur head. The place really needs a new coat of paint, and some updating. It’s an older home and it looks and feels that way. We weren’t in it very much. We were out and about a lot so it wasn’t a big deal for us. But not a lot of amenities either. Kitchen had some basics in it. But not a place with a lot of extra amenities. The selling point for us was that the price was right. We did public transit a lot and it’s only a 10 minute walk to the T.

We enjoyed our stay here. It is an older building but it was clean and comfy. It was close to Harvard, across the from the Charles River. The stairs were a bit narrow to get to it in the 2nd floor. Mike was very responsive when we asked for extra towels. We would stay here again.

Cozy and quiet

This was the perfect place to stay for a night. It’s a great place to walk around. We wished we stayed another night. Inside the place is a little dated but we loved it’s charm and character.

SUCH a Solid Pre Boston Marathon Stay

Mike is a great host and the property was perfect!! The check in and check out was so slick and Mike was so patient and kind with all of my questions. Would highly recommend this listing. It’s a little outdated but very clean.

Apartment was exactly as described. It was clean and cozy. A bit outdated but only stayed 1 night so it was fine. Owner was so extremely helpful in our travels! The road right at the house had been shut down the day of our arrival which made it a little difficult to navigate to but he stayed on the phone with us and talked us through our route! Would definitely stay again!

Overall it is what it is. Reasonable 2 br apartment in Cambridge convenient to transportation. If you are coming to the area to experience the town it is a safe and quiet place to stay. The place itself was clean but its an older home that could use some work. We slept comfortably, made food and were able to relax when not sightseeing. Would use again if in the area.

Good for an overnight

The place is “old Cambridge” all the way. It’s tired and old (reminded me of 50-60 year old renovations I did in area 25 years ago!)Anyway it was clean and the kids were happy the WiFi worked.Need a coat of paint
