This is a great spot for people who need a place to spend a night or two in Cambridge while they're out and about during the day. It's a great location (an easy walk Porter, Harvard and Davis Squares) with lots of shops and restaurants around. The place is set up a bit like an old hotel with a little sitting area in each of 2 spacious bedrooms, with a sort of common area in the hallway with a Keurig coffee maker. It's a quirky place—3 stories, with a large bathroom on the second floor that is clearly shared when there isn't a pandemic going on. Right now, they're renting both rooms together. On the 3rd floor are the 2 bedrooms and a tiny bathroom (I needed to duck to go in and I'm only 5'8"). It was exceptionally quiet and the hosts provided thoughtful touches like reusable shopping bags, ironing boards and toiletries. They also allowed me to park in their driveway which was an enormous help.
I can't, however, recommend this place for longer stays or as a place to work, which is what I needed it for. While the bed was reasonably comfortable, and the place is definitely spacious, the only chairs were remarkably uncomfortable. The desks weren't usable as the chairs are hard plastic and the desks themselves are light and shakey.
The place also isn't really set up for eating which is necessary if you're going to be there all day as I was. There's a fridge and microwave in each room, but only disposable cups and cutlery—not a mug or glass in the place—and nowhere to really assemble anything other than the coffee table, which was the only place to put my work stuff. If you're planning on only eating takeout, you could sit on the couch and be fine. But, if you want to, say, put together a sandwich or salad or something, it's really awkward. When I asked the hosts if they could lend me a non-disposable bowl, they declined said that they're really not set up for longer stays which appears to be the case.
I ended up not sleeping there the last night, and packed up but left a few things to pick up the last day. I felt no need to inform the hosts of this since I was paying for the last night, but when I returned (and granted this was only an hour before check-out) the hosts had clearly been there and had left a note and check for the cleaning person as if I was gone. It was probably just a mistake but presumptuous all the same—and felt a bit unsafe given that we're mid-pandemic.
