Charles place is exactly as described, it is a large home with spacious rooms, is very tidy, and is very close to the Harvard campus and public transport. Charles and his wife are very kind, welcoming people and I generally enjoyed my stay here. I would note that this is a family home, not a party house, so if you are visiting friends or otherwise plan to go out a lot it may not be the place for you, but if you are looking for a quiet place to hole up it is perfect!
