The apartment was as described. It was very clean! A mattress in one of the bedrooms needs to be switched as it would sink in. If you plan on using the futon, make sure you request bedding. It is an old building and the sloping floor reflected that. It didn't really bother us. The kitchen has very basic items to prepare a meal. The apartment is in a good location with an easy walk to Hardvard Square, train station and bus station. Richard is quick to respond.
