Our family of four was in Cambridge for college tours. This apartment is the perfect location between BU, Harvard and MIT. It was a bit longer walk to Northeastern (about 1.8 mile) but still easy. We walked to Cambridge pizza for carry out, Trader Joe's for groceries, and up to Mass Ave. for a couple dinners. There was very little need to move the car which is exactly what we wanted. The apartment is very clean. My kids remarked that it was much nicer than a hotel. We hope to visit again sometime.
