Kris' flat was sweet, just what I was looking for, and just as billed -- safe and attractive neighborhood, a two minute walk to harvard square (or the river -- lovely for a run!), recently and tastefully renovated, and decked out with all the conveniences one might need. folks might want to be aware that there is a flight of stairs down to the flat, and the windows look out to street level, so I kept the curtains down; but neither of these points bothered me at all. Kris was responsive and pleasant to deal with, and little touches like coffee, granola bars and oatmeal for breakfast were appreciated. I travel to boston frequently for work, and will definitely look to stay there again.
