I had never been to North Cambridge, and found a lovely, quaint area that was quiet and very convenient to the rest of Cambridge. The apartment was exceptionally "friendly"--our hosts Kate and Andy were attentive to every convenience, and were kind at every turn. The apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, nice beds and bedding, great bath, and was all decorated with a personal touch--very different from the monotonous Airbnb's which have clearly been turned out for tourists. Really nice. I hope to stay there again some time.
