Quirky, comfortable third-floor pad in a good neighborhood for hanging out. The coffee was much appreciated, and the market just around the corner had a great selection of breakfast ingredients. Window A/C unit also came in handy, we slept quite well!
Caught some really good small-venue music sets at Lilypad and Atwood. Easy access to Green (Lechmere) and Red (Kendall) lines with a very convenient bus line to Harvard (69).
Word of caution: the stairs may be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, or very large luggage.
