Anne's place was terrific! It was comfortable, and the location was excellent. The neighborhood is charming and very close (4 blocks) to the subway and Harvard Square. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to do close by and this was a great location to come home to after a day out exploring the city. I liked that you are close to everything but the neighborhood is residential and homey -- great for families. Anne was a terrific host. She met us when we checked in, had snacks and a parking pass, and gave us a good overview of the place and our environs. She was very responsive throughout our stay. They live above the apartment so they are close by if you need anything. The bus stops right in front of the house if you need to get to the grocery store, and there is a great coffee shop (Darwins) on the next block. Just a few blocks later and you are in the heart of Harvard. Our only caveat is to read the parking signs very closely if you use the parking pass. We made a couple of mistakes in interpreting the signs and ended up with two parking tickets. It was our fault, but it can be easy to misread the signs. Anyway, I would definitely recommend Anne's place!
