I must join all other reviewers in saying that Rebecca's and Richard's house was even lovelier than the pictures portray. The house is spacious, extremely nicely decorated and so comfortable – everything is such high quality: every mattress is comfortable, every towel soft, every sheet feels nice, every dish or kitchen gadget has a unique and pretty design. Everything was shining clean. Rebecca is a wonderful host with little touches that really made us feel VIP– she left us tiny chocolates and pretty little packets of tissue near every bed and made us a welcome basket, in addition she was extremely helpful with info regarding what to do in the area.
The location of the apartment was also great – a nice family neighborhood but in 3 steps you're at Davis square, with about 60 restaurants and eating places, vibrant student life and the T which will bring you to Harvard in 2 stops, MIT in 4 and the rest of Boston in 20 minutes top.
This was a great experience – thank you Rebecca and Richard!
