The Host was very welcoming and responded immediately to a couple of issues we had the first night. The location is great for access to Harvard square and many neighborhood shops for soups, coffee or a quick meal. The street in front of house and side street were under construction but because we were up early and out site seeing this did not disrupt any of our plans. The workers left everyday at 4 PM, so we could enjoy the porches. The lock system was very easy, we did not have to worry about keys. The kitchen was well equipped! We loved that we had LR,DR, Porch all spaces besides bedrooms to spend time with each other. Towels were plentiful and large. We either took a bus to harvard to catch the T or walked to Harvard SQ( 20 min) to catch the T. This is an old home but the beds are comfortable new LARGE TV was great for a night time movie.
