Marlene's place is newly renovated, sparkling clean, and very conveniently located! I was surprised on the upside, as Marlene also had unlimited coffee and continental breakfast items available during my stay--as well as some shower/toiletries that you would get in a hotel! Marlene's hospitality is unparalleled--she was very helpful and welcoming, and communicated proactively. I thoroughly enjoyed staying here, and I recommend it to any travelers in the Cambridge/Allston area. Thank you Marlene for being a wonderful host! I will be back :)
