Our family of 12 rented both the upstairs house and downstairs apartment for 4-days during Harvard University graduation and then 4 of us stayed for 2 extra days in the downstairs apartment. So my review is based on staying in both the upstairs house and downstairs apartment. Perhaps our experience was different from other Airbnb guests but everyone in our group commented that the upstairs house felt a bit worn and uncomfortable. We travel a lot and so we expected with an older house for there to be character issues you cannot or do not want to change with a house that is over 100 years old. But new carpet, paint and linens as well as repairing the broken back deck wood slats would go a long way. The downstairs apartment was more comfortable and remodeled. The beds were comfy, the linens were nice and the soaking tub was great. We loved the Formaggio gourmet store across the street! The 20-minute walk to Harvard Square was pleasant except when it rained and then we used the bus, which picks up and drops off right outside the house. (We were able to buy a 7-day Charlie Ticket for $21.25 from the Harvard Station (redline) ticket machine which allowed us to ride all the subways and local buses…great deal). I believe Steve, Rick, Sarah and Jeremy care about the house and their guests experience so I hope they take this review in the spirit that it is intended…which is to give honest feedback so Airbnb guests find the best rentals for their travel needs and Airbnb host know what they can do to improve their homes and their guest experiences. All the best!
