The apartment is well located, close to Cambridgeside Galleria mall and walkable to both the red line (Kendall) and the green line (Lechmere). The parking spot was clutch and definitely the best amenity of this listing. Future renters should note that you have to request the parking spot in advance. Steve was a super responsive host and got back to our inquiries quickly. This economical listing would have worked well for a single person or at most a tidy, space conscious couple. The odd layout (you walk through the bedroom to get to the work/living room area) made it difficult to find a place for luggage or occupying the same room. Technically, the listing is correct: there is a kitchen with a stove. However actually prepping food or cooking on the junior oven (think the size of an EasyBake) made the practicality of cooking near impossible. We got an Airbnb so we could cook but ended up eating out after seeing the space. Further, this was listed as family friendly; it did not work well for us with a one year old. There was little to no room for our son to crawl or walk around. Also a stroller would not have fit through the entryway easily (we mostly baby wore our son while there).
TLDR: great deal if you have a car and/or are traveling alone. Would not recommend if you have young kids or need space from your traveling partner.
