This is a great place to stay in Cambridge, located right between MIT and Harvard. I was out in the neighborhood around midnight and felt very safe. The lodgings are clean and comfortable, the shared bathroom is cleaned daily, the kitchen and fridge are available for use, and the laundry facilities allow you to pack light. Jamal lives on site and is very attentive to any needs, responding immediately to any requests (which should be minor if any, since everything is prepped and ready). The house is less than a 10-minute walk to the Red Line on the T (Central stop, meaning you can get to downtown Boston in less than half an hour) and only 5-7 minutes, also on foot, from the H Mart, which has an Asian and American grocery, a fresh ramen noodle counter, and a Paris Baguette shop with great daily breads and pastries. Oh, and the price beats any hotels for sure.
