Stayed here for five nights, the room and amenities were as described. location is in a residential area, so it's a calm neighborhood. I got a detailed message on how to reach the place and access the rooms. Big spacious room with a sofa, cabinet, and workstation. Common spaces were cleaned everyday and rooms were on request. The kitchen got decent cutlery and utensils, but I guess no one uses them.
Accessibility: There is a bus stop 2 mins from the house. Central station on the red line is 500 meters away, you can walk or take a bus to Central and from there you can reach Boston downtown easily or Harvard or Davis square. There's also a Blue Bike kiosk near Trader Joes
Food: There's a lot of restaurants and pubs in Central square which is 500 meters away. You have Trader Joes, Whole Foods, H Mart, Start Mart, etc., within a 1-mile radius. There's a pizza place 2 mins away: Cambridge Pizzeria
There are no scissors in the kitchen and I couldn't find one, so I had a hard time preparing my salad. Those small salad dressing sachets were hard to open lol. There were two bathrooms on the ground floor shared among all the guests. The shower nob was broken and unusable in one of them, hope it got fixed. For some reason, the thermostat was not adjustable as they were key-locked. So if you want to change the thermostat, I think you have to check with Heline for code.
My stay was without any trouble from the owner or the neighborhood. Also, you have to rotate the front door lock to the right HARD to open.
