Paul was very welcoming from the first contact. He responded promptly, provided very clear information, was friendly and even spontaneously sent a message shortly before our trip to let us know rain was expected while we would be in Cambridge. The apartment is very well-located on a quiet residential street, providing easy access to the T, MIT, Harvard, Boston. It is only a few blocks from Mass Ave, where there are many restaurants, shops, etc. The apartment is clean, the beds comfortable. It is spacious for one or two people; a little tight for three, but quite manageable. We were very grateful for the air-conditioner and fans, which kept us comfortably cool during some very hot, humid weather. There were some deferred maintenance and cosmetics issues that diminished the feeling of cleanliness--the claw foot tub is charming, but layers of repainting had peeled in spots; the kitchen faucet was broken and gushed water from it's base. Paul said he would fix it during our stay, but that didn't happen, though he did tie a cloth around the base so that we could use the faucet without flooding the kitchen. The sliding screen door to the porch outside was badly torn and difficult to slide. While the stove was quite clean, the top had holes (one to two inches) in a couple of places where the metal top had broken through next to the burners. None of these things would prevent us from staying here again; they just caused some minor hassle and diminished, a bit, the feeling of cleanliness. The photos are accurate; the apartment is clean, charming, very well-stocked. We saw Paul only once, on arrival. He gave us a quick "tour" of the apartment. We were visiting our daughter and didn't need a lot of guidance or recommendations from Paul. He was very responsive when we did have a couple of questions during the course of our stay. When the forecast called for rain, Paul texted to let us know there were a couple of umbrellas set out just outside our door for our use--a most thoughtful gesture. Overall, this is a very comfortable, reasonably priced place with a friendly and responsive host.
