Marlene's home is so warm and welcoming. I was priveleged enough to enjoy her and her husband's master bedroom while they were off for travel; I felt spoiled having a king bed all to myself. The house is in an incredibly convenient location for someone like me that frequents the Harvard campus/athletics facilities (I own a bike, however, the house is still within a feasible walking distance to the Harvard Square). There is a brand-new Trader Joes just around the block. Additionally, she has other longer-term renters in the home who are all about mid-20s doing research or PhDs at Harvard. They were very fun to talk to and made my stay all the more fun. Make sure you are not allergic to cats - there were 4 of them when I arrived - but they are all genial and quite cute. This was a 10/10 Airbnb find - so glad to have had the experience.
