Great spot!! Let's start with the view of Cambridge and the Charles River. We spent half the first day just staring out the window. It's located right next to MGH, with all sorts of restaurants within a 10-minute walk. It was a nice apartment too -- well maintained,
and modern looking, with a comfortable living room, nice recliner, glass tables, plenty of kitchenware, and a TV + Netflix/other devices. My only nitpick: The beds in the second bedroom were fine, if not stellar.
Alex was a great host too! He was extremely responsive and helpful. Our family spent a great 11 days there while our house in the suburbs was getting fixed up, and we didn't want to leave.
