This is a great deal for the area and convenience. It is less than a 5 minute walk to the Davis T stop on the Red Line which will easily connect you to any other part of the Boston/Cambridge area. Furthermore, there is a drugstore, a small market, dozens of eateries (serving falafels, sandwiches, coffee, crepes, flatbread, and burgers to name a few), and even a candlestick bowling alley and a local movie theater with great deals located only a couple of blocks from the apartment. Davis Square is a great place to stay in the Boston/Cambridge area.

The apartment itself is gorgeous with lovely colors, eye-catching art, beautiful lighting, and just the right amount of a lived-in feel. Our group, 5 adults, was pleasantly surprised by the size of the apartment and the amenities that were included--wifi, good books, fully stocked kitchen (in terms of utensils and dishes), plenty of blankets, large, soft towels, an iron, blowdryer, and even small toiletries--it was easily as nice as any upscale hotel in the area with more amenities and much more space for the cost. There is also the option of purchasing a parking space in the driveway, if you need a car, though the location is so convenient to the T that a car could easily not be necessary.

Rebecca was also a great hostess, as she provided information and offered her help without being invasive or difficult. There was a welcome basket full of delicious snacks along with a lovely welcome note with instructions and suggestions. She clearly goes to a lot of trouble to ensure that her guests feel welcome and comfortable. My friends and I readily recommend this apartment for any size group (with or without children) wanting a lovely, comfortable place to stay near Boston or Cambridge. In fact, when I return in a couple of months, I will be looking to stay here during my trip.
