This was my family's first try with Airbnb and it was just THE BEST! The apartment is spacious, lovely, super clean, and air conditioned. It was a real oasis to us when we needed to take a bit of a break from all of our sightseeing activities. It sits above The Druid pub which has become our new favorite place, and we'll probably return to Cambridge for the pub alone. There's a fire station diagonally across the street, too, so there is some noise. But we don't live in a city, and we felt it was part of the ambience of the neighborhood and really enjoyed listening to it all. The stairs from the front door up to the first floor of the apartment and then again up to the second floor of the apartment are a bit narrow and steep if that's a consideration for anyone. My husband has had 2 hip replacements and realized it could have been an issue for him pre-surgery; otherwise, it never would have crossed my mind. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay in this apartment and very much liked the dynamic neighborhood and proximity to Boston.
