This was one of my all-time favorite places to stay. Jenny is a wonderful, thoughtful host, and her home is not only beautifully renovated and decorated, but also historically significant to Cambridge. I stayed in the 2nd floor guest room and had the entire 2nd floor to myself, including the bathroom and living room, which is a wonderful quiet space to retreat to at the end of the day for some TV or reading. The bathroom was sparkling, and the bed very comfortable. The bedroom is a bit drafty, but the sheets were very warm and Jenny supplies a heater if you need it. Check-in was straightforward, and the kitchen was conveniently accessible for breakfast.
In terms of location, it's about 5-10 min walk from Leechmere and 10-15 min walk from MIT/Kendall, so it was very convenient to most places you want to go. There's also a good variety of restaurants in the area along Cambridge street and 3rd street, as well as a large grocery store near the park 5 min away.
