We loved our stay at Kjersti’s lovely space, which is in a great Cambridge neighborhood just about a 10-minute walk from Harvard Square and all the great shops, terrific restaurants, subway stop and a plethora of historic buildings. The surrounding neighborhood is also a joy to walk through with wonderful architecture and brightly painted historic homes.
As noted by others, there is a nearby Whole Foods and convenience store for all your extra amenities, although Kjersti’s place is so well-stocked with so many of the staples you need to start your meals, if you choose, that you may want to look in the cupboards before purchasing salt, spices, olive oil, etc. We also made great use of all the pot and pans, etc. for a few few lunches.
The actual Airbnb is just lovely — and super clean — as so many people noted. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were wonderful for kids and adults. And in nicer weather, it would be great to make use of the back deck. We also made great use of the many family board games and Chess.
For those unfamiliar with the geography of the area, as we initially were, you’ll likely be pleased at how easy it is to get everywhere you would want to go by purchasing a subway card. We easily went to Little Italy/North End and the Downtown Crossing area, as well as Newbury Street and elsewhere.
Some restaurants we enjoyed included Harvest and the Red House right in Cambridge, that offered amazing heated outdoor dining during the pandemic.
Kjersti was also an awesome host — a true superhost — who gave recommendations readily and worked to accommodate some timing issues of our travels that created some large gaps.
All in all, we could not have imagined a better place to stay. Truly wonderful and highly recommend it!
