We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights with Erin. She was there when we arrived and made us feel most welcome, giving us lots of tips for our stay. The apt was as wonderful as described and is on a residential street. Just around the corner are countless restaurants. Our favorite was East Coast Grill. We ordered a carry-out order of guacamole from Ole. It's made fresh and is to die for! Erin was very attentive to any needs or questions we had, both before we were there and after arrival. We enjoyed visiting with her! At this point, there is not a subway station, but there is a bus stop just a block away. It was an easy ride to Harvard Square. We felt very safe in the area.
