Mike's place is as explained and as reviewed: it's super old, nothing fancy, in a great location with beautiful views of the river. It lacks some basic necessities (knives, more than one towel per guest, the blinds are all pretty broken, etc.) and it doesn't feel so safe (the door lock for the unit is just a single coded lock, there is no internal lock for security once you are inside, and the front door to the building was left unlocked by another resident once) but we didn't have any problems. We asked around (uber drivers, etc.) and were told it is a very safe area, so there's that. On a lovely - and unusual note - Mike didn't send us lengthy checkout instructions! So many airbnb's send a major To-Do cleaning list (what is my cleaning fee for?!) at the end of the stay and Mike didn't request anything of us. That was a very nice surprise. Communication wasn't fantastic (email request before check in was responded to late; email request about holding luggage was never responded to) so that wasn't ideal. The heat in the unit worked really well which was fantastic. I travel to Cambridge monthly and won't stay here again, but for the price and location its a pretty great value as long as you are a laid back, unfussy traveler.
