We came for a conference in Cambridge with our nanny and two kids. We had a terrific stay, and having such a nice place to stay in was a big part of it. The apartment has a great location, in an area of Cambridge (East Cambridge) that wasn't hip at all when we lived there 15 years ago, but now has had a serious influx of new restaurants, etc. (Hungry Mother, for example, is only a few blocks from the apartment.)

For the kids, there are several parks within walking distance with great climbing structures, and one with water features to play in. It is also walking distance (15-20 minutes with kids in stroller) to the Museum of Science, and a shorter walk to the Kendall Square T station. Best of all, it is walking distance to Toscanini's, which might be the best ice cream on the planet! The kids had a great time, went everywhere...

The apartment itself is very comfortable. The kitchen is big and beautifully redone. There is a counter and stools to eat at in the kitchen, as well as a washer and drier. Appliances are all new, and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. There is a big living room with a big bay window out to the street and comfy sofas and chairs. There is also a dining room. The bedrooms are good size with comfy beds. Our boys loved the bunk beds.

All in all, we could not have been happier. We had a terrific stay. Jimmy was incredibly helpful all the way through. Logistics were all easy. We hope we can stay again on another occasion.
