Jamal is friendly, accommodating, and a great host overall. I spent a week at this place, and him and his family were cheerful and kind throughout my stay. The room and bed are clean, the bed and pillows are brand new and comfortable. The place has good value for where it is located. It's about a 5 minute walk to Central Square - convenient for transportation throughout Cambridge and Boston. I recommend getting a CharlieCard for public transportation to make the best use of this location. To summarize: accommodating and kind host, comfortable place, and great value and location.
