I cannot praise Bruce & Fariba enough! Not only is their place great and the location ideal (easy walks to Porter and Davis Square, Harvard University etc), but they provided excellent information about the process (very detailed checkin notes) and were really helpful when our travel plans changed due to a winter storm. Yes, there is no lounge room, but there is a dining table nook which was perfect for our needs. They even supplied us with a cot, high chair, books and toys for our 18-month old son. Thanks!
