a note from my son who lived in Steve and Carla's house for a week: Most Airbnbs would make you feel like living in a hotel, but Steve and Carla's house makes you feel like home. From the comfortable bed and the cute design of the room to the quiet, safe neighborhood--you name it--Carla and Steve got all of them for you. They are wonderful hosts, truly amazing people. They would help you settle down and make your life so easy. So expect their warm welcome! Transportations are good: it takes about ten-minute walk to Davis Square, where you can take the red line to Harvard about 10 minutes. Uber and Postmate pick-up also works unbelievably fast. One time I called a Starbucks delivery and it only took ten minutes. Overall, fantastic place to stay no matter if you're just travelling in Boston or you're looking for a long-term housing!
