This is a great location if you want to check out Harvard Square. There is a pretty view of the river and we watched the rowing team in the am. Right along a walking/jogging path which was great. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Park and historic home is a few blocks away and it is an easy walk to Harvard Square for shopping and the museum. This is an older home but quaint. It is very easy to access the home with great instructions. Roomy and a beautiful view of the river.
