This charming basement apartment in a historic house in a lovely part of Cambridge is wonderfully clean and so comfortable. Leyla has so many nice touches, such as the snack/tea/coffee cupboard. Every object in the apartment is charming and reflects a happy and cheerful outlook. Very comfortable overall, nicely furnished, water in shower is nice & hot, kitchen well appointed, wifi is great. The lovely street is just off Brattle, a historic street lined with colonial houses, including the Longfellow House, which is about a 20-minute walk away. Harvard Square is about a 25-30 minute walk, or you can catch the 71 or 73 bus on the next street over, Mt Auburn (under 10 minutes to Harvard Sq). A 5-minute walk from bus stop. I stayed in late September, and there are so many crickets chirping, just beautiful sound, along with some straggler cicadas in the daytime. Yes, you can sometimes hear the pitter-patter of happy children upstairs, depending on the time of day; not an issue. About a 10-minute walk to a Star Market. Other shops also in walking distance. A delightful, comfortable & charming apartment!
