Anatole's apartment in Cambridge was the perfect location and accommodation for us (my husband and myself) for our (nearly) annual trip from the West Coast (Seattle area) to Boston for the Boston Marathon.. The apartment is very well furnished, with a well-stocked large kitchen with all full size appliances and cooking equipment i.e. pots & pans, cooking dishes, bowls, dish ware, glassware, pretty much everything you will need to enjoy this home away from home. And more. Suitable for a week's stay or much longer.
Comfortable bed, huge walk-in/storage closet with plenty of space for clothing, suitcases, etc.. We particularly enjoyed the separate dining room for our indoor meals, and the deck at the back of the house with a table for 2, which we made good use of on an 88 degree mid-April evening. Perfect for a glass of wine and dinner, serenaded by a pleasant and relaxing natural "playlist" of birdsong from before dawn until after sunset.. .
A light and airy feel throughout the apartment..
Easy (and safe) access to bus service to Harvard Square via bus #73, which takes you directly to the Harvard Transit Station for transfer to the subway/train/bus lines connecting you to the rest of the greater Boston area. Or shopping/dining/strolling at Harvard Square, a favorite place of ours in the Boston area.
A large supermarket is just a few short blocks away from the apartment, within easy walking distance, as are some restaurants and a friendly neighborhood pub is nearby . Quiet well-kept older neighborhood.
The hosts were extremely accommodating, helpful, and always prompt in answering any and all communications from first contact to check out.
If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, and spacious place to stay in the Cambridge/Watertown/Harvard Square area of Boston, we highly recommend Anatole's one bedroom apartment. We hope to return another time.
