We did a long-term stay during the summer months, and overall, it was outstanding. Leslie & Ling Yi are terrific hosts and very responsive to any questions or issues that came up before and during the stay. The studio is efficiently designed, including having more available space to move around when the bed is retracted, with 3 large windows facing Broadway St to bring in more natural lighting. The bathroom was also a good size with a walk-in shower and tiled flooring, with moderate storage shelves and clothes hamper. The air conditioning came in handy especially during some pretty hot days. The kitchen equipment, small refrigerator, and food storage cabinets were fine for 1-2 people, and the TV was pretty large and allowed for logging into streaming services. Plenty of electrical outlets as well. It was also pretty quiet at night other than occasional traffic noise from the street, so easy to sleep.
The location was great from our perspective, with easy access to Central Square, Harvard Square and Kendall Square by foot or public transportation. We found plenty of good restaurants within walking distance or a short ride. The Lamplighter Brewery/Cafe Pepita across the street and Judy’s Bay restaurant right next door were particular treats.
