Our host made everything easy and efficient. The property is spacious and serene, and adjacent to a secluded playground, basketball and tennis courts, and baseball field, making it feel like a more intimate setting than you would expect while all the benefits of Cambridge and Boston are at your fingertips. We would definitely stay there again!
