Our group of 6 felt right at home at Norma's place! The apartment was so clean and cozy (the beds were extremely comfy) that we all wished we could move in. While we didn't cook during our weekend stay, the appliances were updated and there were plenty of dishes, tupperware and glasses provided. The bathrooms were stocked with everything you'd need for a shower, plus extra toiletries. We all really appreciated the luxurious robes they provided, too. Norma and her husband were very nice and helpful; they left us alone but I felt comfortable reaching out for a few questions. This is a great area to stay in if your new to Boston, as it's in walking distance of both Harvard and MIT, and just a short train ride to downtown. It'd be tough to find a better place to stay!
