We couldn't have been more pleased with our three-day stay in Erin's apartment in Cambridge this fall. It was located on a quiet street on the first floor of a 3-story home shared by Erin and her family. We loved the attractiveness and thoughtfulness of the layout and found the kitchen well provided with all the necessities for cooking, including an 1860 table. The location close to Inman Square and Harvard University made it possible to walk to our destinations--and the neighborhood stores and restaurants were wonderful: a spice shop, a post office, Inman Square Wine & Spirits, Trader Joe's, Druid Pub, Christina's Ice Cream, a gourmet bagel shop, Casa Portugal, and Hot Chix, among others. We walked down to Harvard and spent a morning at the famous glass flower display in the Museum of Science, then visited the nearby Harvard Art Museums and ate in the excellent small cafe there. Another day we went to see the USS Constitution at Constitution Wharf and the Boston Commons and nearby Newberry Street. We used Uber and cab, but noted the red line runs conveniently from the Commons to Cambridge. And all of this took place in late October during days of warm weather and deep blue sky that set off the fall colors of the leaves on surrounding trees and that crunched underfoot as we walked on them--a special treat for Californians.
