I stayed in Irene's lovely apartment for two nights, while I was working in Cambridge. She is a gracious, accomodating hostess. I arrived in the evening and she offered my a glass of wine and a chance to unwind on the deck. The weather was warm and the deck was a special oasis of tranquility for a morning coffee or to read a book after a day of work.
The apartment is bright and cozy, with potted flowering plants decorating inside and out. The apt is on the third floor, so ability to climb stairs is a must.
The bedroom and aparment had airconditioners, which were much appreciated on the warm nights.
The neighborhood has brick sidewalks and many beautiful old homes with gardens. I enjoyed being able to walk to get a coffee in the morning or dinner at night. There was parking for my car on the street.
I hope I have another opportunity to stay with Irene soon.
