Ruma's place is in a peaceful corner of Cambridge but very accessible for Central station (for subway into Boston) and amenities. I walked to Harvard Yard every day for work - it's a pleasant walk and usually took me about 20 minutes. The room is up a separate staircase with en suite, mini-fridge and kettle, so feels very self-contained, and it has air conditioning for hotter weather. The kitchen in the main house is large and well-equipped and there is a lovely little terrace outside where I often worked or ate my meals on sunny evenings. Ruma was a wonderful host, really welcoming, kind and accommodating. I highly recommend staying with her!
