One of the easiest five stars I've ever given. Here is why:
Host: Gosia is attentive, accommodating, and a pleasure in all the ways that make an awesome airbnb host. On top of this, she is an awesome person and one of the highlights of my stay was getting to know her and her boyfriend a little bit. 5/5
House: Cozy, well-kept townhouse. The shared spaces were always pleasant and there were clean, accessible amenities - I cook a lot, and I was always able to use the kitchen and store food. The house is vertically oriented with plenty of stairs, so keep this in mind if you are a differently-abled person - this isn't a knock against the house, more-so just an observation. The wifi was always unproblematic, and the place was always quiet. I was able to get work done in the house without issue, and resting was always easy. 5/5
Location: Cute New England neighborhood full of trees and hobby gardeners showing off their flowers. Everything you'd ever need is less than 15 minutes away by foot. A 3 minute walk away from a large grocery store (Star Market, otherwise known as Albertson's in other parts of the country). Here you can buy public transit fare/"Charlie Cards". Across the street from this store is a bus that takes you to Harvard Square in less than 10 minutes, which connects to the subway system and will take you anywhere you need to go. Surrounding Gosia's place are numerous locally-owned shops and restaurants/cafes. The location makes Boston and the surrounding area seem much smaller than it actually is. Said differently, it is perfect for business, fun, and rest. 5/5
Gosia's is the type of airbnb that you will miss when you leave. I can't recommend it enough, and this will be my first choice if I ever return to Cambridge. I'll always be grateful for Gosia's kindness and hospitality. Highly recommended.
