Our family (2 adults & two boys 11 & 13) had the most wonderful stay at jimmy's lovely apartment. We stayed for 2.5 weeks and were so comfortable - the apartment is spacious, full of light, nicely painted & maintained and cosy in winter. There is a charming little sun room as well as two bedrooms.
The apartment is very well equipped. Great netflix & wifi, excellent laundry on site, coffee machine, large pantry and wardrobes. East Cambridge is a fantastic neighbourhood, the apartment is on a quiet street but it is walking distance to Inman square, Kendall, Central and Union square Somerville, very convenient for public transport and groceries as well as restaurants.
Jimmy is honestly the perfect air BnB host, he was friendly, helpful and very quick to respond to queries. He really made us feel welcome and at home. He lives downstairs with his family but there is a separate entrance so we felt completely private with our own space.
We recommend this apartment without reservation, especially if you are visiting Harvard or MIT with your family & need somewhere to call home for a few weeks. we were very sad to leave.
