This is a room in a shared house, simple room, really comfortable beds, a good kitchen in the house and when we were there everyone else there was helpful and considerate. The location is great, just a couple of minutes walk from Central Square with shops, loads of restaurants (I recommend The Mad Monkfish). The "T" subway stop is about 4 minutes walk away, and is one stop from Harvard, and (in the other direction) from MIT, and just a few stops from Boston. (Parking is a nightmare anywhere in Cambridge or Boston, everyone uses the "T" or the buses.) John gave great instructions on how to get there, and responded quickly to our queries.
