This first floor apartment looks exactly like its photos. It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It is walking distance to Alewife and Harvard Square and is in a safe area for walking. The apartment is on the street level, so you do get some traffic noise, but it wasn't enough to keep me awake! I was traveling for business, so I really appreciated that James had all of the amenities you expect at a hotel: hair dryer, lotion, cotton balls. He even had welcome cookies for when I needed a midnight snack.
