The stay was quiet and comfortable. The bedroom is on the street and has a little noise at night from passersby, but it's not very loud and usually pretty brief. The sofa bed and queen bed in the living room are the same bed. The sofa folds down into a comfortable bed and folds back up really easily to free up floor space in an already large english basement.
There is ample street parking no more than four blocks away on Cambridge St. and at the intersection of Cambridge and 3rd. The parking on Cambridge St. is free from 1700 - 0900 and about $2.50/2 hrs (max) and free from 1800 - 0800 on 3rd St., outside of which it's $2.50/2 hrs, as well.
The entry to the home is under a set of stairs. At night, a motion activated light turns on, making entry and exit safe and easy!
The home was clean and ready for occupants on arrival. The hosts sent a message to check in and make sure that I made it into the home alright. They sent a comprehensive check in message prior to arrival, which made check in easy.
The wifi was fast and reliable, which was welcome as cell service inside of the home is close to non-existent (but perfectly fine on the back patio or on the street out front).
I highly recommend staying at this home in Cambridge for easy access to the Boston/Cambridge area!
