I had a great stay for 7 nights. Everything was as described and very well organized (for example, there's even a convenient hand cart for grocery shopping). Very easy to reach Harvard (a few bus stops away, and the bus stops really close by), and MIT is walking distance away (or by bus too). There's a small convenience store across the street. 10 minutes walk from the T station. I didn't meet my hosts but they were very responsive by email and text messages and by phone when needed. Really appreciated the ability to cook for myself during my stay rather than eat out, and to do laundry. The desk is very convenient if you have work to do. If you're traveling with kids the apartment has low window sills that aren't child safe when the window is open. The automatic bed would probably be a big hit with a child (I showed it to my little one over Skype).
