Barbara's apartment is warm, very comfortable and quiet. Just be aware that it is the top floor of Barbara's house so you share a staircase when you come in and out of the accommodation. The location is brilliant - just five minutes from a metro station and Porter Square which has a well-stocked supermarket and various places to eat. It is one stop on the T from Harvard and about 15 minutes into the centre of Boston. We would have no hesitation in staying again on another trip to Cambridge.
