We stayed for a month whilst visiting MIT and the house was ideal! The location is great for commuting in Area 2 and is only a short walk to Mass. Ave. for restaurants, shops, and a T stop for wider Boston. The area itself is very quiet and homely (every family was out on Halloween!). It's very close to the river which made for lovely walks in the autumn. The house was clean and well-supplied with everything needed for a medium-term stay. It's generally well-maintained throughout though tired in spots (e.g. kitchen and shared bathroom). The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on! Dev was a fantastic host - very responsive to messages, suggested various events that were on in Boston during our stay, and even helped to find a hotel for a trip to NYC. Since it's a new listing, he was also very willing to provide anything we thought was missing for a comfortable stay. Coming from the UK it was pricey, but perfect for our purpose. Thank you!
