This was a great place to stay: easy access to downtown Boston, Harvard, and MIT but located in a quiet residential neighborhood. I'm a light sleeper but I had no trouble getting sleep here. The A/C unit was effective and served as excellent white noise at night. Communication and check-in were fantastic. Also the bookcase in the living room had a great collection of literature, sci-fi, and non-fiction. Wish I could have done more reading during my stay.
