Very comfortable place in an ideal location for Harvard or MIT. Typical architecture/interior for early 20th century, lovely old wooden doors and floors, giant bath tub and so on, which I enjoyed as a fan of old houses. I had a two-week stay for work at Harvard and it was perfect for me, on a direct bus line to campus with the stop only a couple of minutes away, or a pleasant 20-minute walk when I was feeling more energetic. Well-equipped kitchen and nearby shops so I could cook for myself, but close to lots of reasonably priced and interesting restaurants when I didn't want to. Although it's near busy Central Square, it's a quiet street. Excellent hosts with great communication. I especially liked the flowers on the table when I arrived after a long transatlantic flight - it made me feel very welcome!
