Rae&Jarrod's place was a wonderful home base for exploring Boston and for spending time in Cambridge. The nearest redline stop to downtown was about a 7 minute walk -- super easy to go downtown. Their place was perfect for friends traveling together because you have your own room, and share some common spaces/bathrooms. The mini-fridge, microwave and coffee made it easy to warm up a quick breakfast before a day of sight-seeing. The neighborhood itself is beautiful and great to walk around. We enjoyed the restaurants nearby and the little grocery (Montrose Spa, yes, odd name) has breakfast sandwiches and a fantastic breakfast burrito option -- great for a quick bite! It was super easy to communicate with Rae and Jarrod and they were attentive hosts. They clearly have thought of everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. We would love to stay here again!
