Karen's place is right around the corner from Central Square T station, but it's on a side street so it's still nice and quiet. This is a great 3-bedroom apartment on the main floor and it's very well maintained. We were here for a 3-day conference and this is much better value than the usual Boston hotels. I'm a huge fan of this area because it's a short walk to Harvard Square while in the other direction, you can easily walk to the bridge for a great view of the city. Karen was very responsive to any inquiries. I'd highly recommend staying here.
