An excellent choice for staying in Cambridge because of its reasonable cost, proximity to a grocery store, the Charles River, and the Harvard and MIT campuses. We easily walked to the nearby Whole Foods, but also found it easy to order in delivery from neighborhood restaurants. Another easy walk was to the Charles River, where we watched ducks, boaters, and kayakers while enjoying a picnic lunch. Initially, we planned to have another family member travel with us, but even though he was unable to go, the cost of the rental was an easy split for two people. The apartment could easily accommodate four travelers, if you don't mind sleeping two on the queen size bed, two on the fold out couch. The hosts were great to communicate with and immediately answered messages. Finally, the rental price allowed us to spend money on a few tourist attractions, so that was a definite win.
