Hilary's place is perfect for anyone looking to be a 15-minute walk from Harvard Square. She was more than friendly, allowing me to check-in early and also offered late checkout. Her dog, Jasper, is about the friendliest pouch you will ever meet. The room had a separate A/C window unit which I could set the temperature for, was well stocked with snacks and beverages, and very clean; the bed and pillows were also very comfortable. Hilary's place is now my go-to location for subsequent trips to Cambridge.
