Everything about our stay at James's place in Cambridge was lovely. You can tell he has put real TLC into this place, from the smart layout of the space, newly renovated kitchen with enough appliances to make a home-cooked dinner, to a really comfortable bed, and thoughtful recommendations for where to go for meals or walks....and, as you probably have read from other reviews, the freshly baked cookies that make your first moment arriving to a new place literally sweet. When staying here, you're being welcomed into a real home with tasteful decor and nice furniture in one of the most beautiful and quiet neighborhoods in all of New England. It is a great place to walk or jog around, featuring a park with a loop around a serene lake called Fresh Pond. Although James already considered everything we could have needed, I am confident if anything had come up, he would have been attentive and helpful in arranging it. James and his home defines what it means to be termed a "host" on this platform. I highly recommend his place and hope to return again some day.
