This home was super. The bed was very comfortable. The private bath was upscale and super clean. The front door lock was easy to use. The breakfast station in the upscale kitchen was inviting and comfortable. The host left the NYTimes on the counter for a fun morning read. The neighborhood felt safe, and it was convenient. I parked my car in a reasonably priced garage a few short blocks away - next to a sizable mall overlooking the river. A CVS with long hours was located just 3 blocks north. It was a 16 minute walk to the Media Lab at MIT where I was attending a conference. Their are public bikes all around the area and MANY people were riding bikes (in August) on the numerous bike paths throughout the city and on the river's edge. I chose airbnb because the hotels in Cambridge were so expensive. In the end, I ended up with a space that was better than a hotel for a lot less money. Highly recommend.
