Know what you're getting into: good for someone who needs a place to catch a few hours of sleep on a business trip, but not a place to be comfortable or convenienced beyond proximity to the local campuses and nightlife. The entire house is rented out room-by-room, and you will be sharing cramped hallways and limited bathroom(s) with maybe half a dozen people. Don't be surprised if you need to wait a half hour to take a shower or brush your teeth as late as midnight, or if you hear music and talking emanating from the rooms above and below you. Like I said, it's a great place if you need a room to drop your things and to sleep for a night or two, but very much the wrong place if you want a comfortable, relaxing stay in Cambridge/Boston.
