We had a wonderful time in the harvard victorian. It was fairly straightforward to get to, the neighborhood very residential and nice. Right on the bus route so a little noisy at night but easy access if you want to take the bus. We walked to Harvard Square every day and it was lovely. But if the weather is bad you might want the bus. The house was perfect for 5 people - more might be tight especially with only one shower - although 2 bathrooms. The kitchen totally outfitted with whatever you might need - coffee, even butter in the fridge for us, wine glasses and wonderful plates and coffee cups. It is a very nice home and we were so much happier than in a hotel. We really had a wonderful time - loads of towels, linens, really everything you could need. Steve was super available for us and we will come back when we can!
