Our family of four stayed at Kersti's place and we LOVED it! The place is even better than in the pictures. Very up-to-date and SUPER clean. This apartment is downstairs and the family lives upstairs. Even though we could hear them in the morning getting ready for work/school, it was not bad at all. We loved having all the comfort of home. It was nice that our girls had their own bedroom AND bathroom and my husband and I did as well. The kitchen has everything you could ask for (Keurig, toaster, pots, pans... everything). We made breakfast at "home" and one night my husband walked to a little Thai restaurant and got us takeout. The neighborhood is super cute and safe. We were in town for college visits and we walked to MIT and Harvard. We went to downtown Boston as well and getting there was easy with public transit. There are lot of restaurants within walking distance and we just love living like the locals do. Kjersti was great with communication and I would not hesitate to stay here again.
