We stayed in Laurie’s apartment for 4 nights while waiting to move into a rental apartment in the area. This is a true home from home in the best possible sense: we had a very happy and comfortable stay. It is spacious and very well stocked and the decor is really charming. Laurie is a very thoughtful, kind host and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is on a cul de sac and is very quiet and tranquil, but close to many things and the neighborhood is friendly. Fresh Pond reservoir (for walks) is about 5 minutes’ walk away and it took us ca. 30 minutes to walk to Harvard Square. There was also space for our car right outside. We would stay here again in an instant.
