The place is in a really quite neighborhood and super close to Harvard and MIT! WholeFoods is just blocks away if you want to do some light cooking.
The house is half underground, so you can hear the footsteps from the above relatively clearly so you might want to wear an earplug if you are sensitive to sound. During our first night, there seemed to be a small gathering so we could hear the footsteps but the next two nights were really quite.
Overall, nice stay!
