Paul and Larry are thoughtful, helpful and gracious hosts. They are excellent resources and very responsive. The apartment has everything you need for your stay with a well stocked kicthen. The balcony is a wonderful amenity. The location is within easy walking distance to MIT, central station, grocery stores, shops and restaurants. We were able to walk everywhere from the apartment's central location - i.e. we walked to Harvard Square, Freedom Trail and Copley Square. I highly recommend this apartment!
