Richard's place met our needs just fine during our weekend trip to Boston. We spent very little time in the apartment - mostly just to shower and sleep - and we had everything we needed for that. It is an older building/apartment, but the cleanliness of the place is MUCH appreciated by those of us who are really picky about that :) We ended up renting a parking spot about 1/2 mile away because we were concerned the end-to-end parking in the driveway could have been a problem (since we would have not been around all day to move our vehicle for someone) - but there actually weren't any other vehicles there during our stay. The location was great, in a safe neighborhood right along the river - which was very nice for morning runs. Short walk to downtown Cambridge and the T station. All-in-all a good stay and a good value for the area. Thanks!
