We prefer to stay in rentals during our travels because of the amount of living space and access to a kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and other home features. Kjersti’s unit was perfect in that regard. In fact, it was the best stocked home we’ve stayed in. She has every toiletry in the bathrooms, laundry detergent, cleaning products, lots of kitchen herbs, oils, and spices, and every kitchen gadget you can think of.
It rained on the day we had planned to go on a duck tour AND attend the Red Sox game, and she had extra umbrellas in the foyer closet. Along with extra face masks, sunscreen, bug spray, first aid items, a tool kit, etc. She has thought of everything!
She was also extremely helpful with the parking situation which can be tricky in the Cambridge neighborhoods.
The house was super clean and the street it’s on is part of a very safe family neighborhood with lots of children playing outside and people walking their dogs frequently. We never felt unsafe walking around.
I’d say the only slight negative was the walk to the T was a bit longer than we expected (18-20 min). Sometimes it made more sense for our family of 4 to Uber since the cost of a ride to the places we were going was often not much more than the price of 4 subway fares, plus the time savings of not having to walk to and ride the train. During our week-long stay we used a combination of methods for getting around Boston: ride the T, use Uber/Lyft, and drive our own car. So the distance to the T was not an issue. It’s a beautiful neighborhood and a nice walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
