Host was very welcoming and helpful with information about nearby busline and restaurants. The bus to Harvard Square stops just around the corner, which makes it pretty easy to get wherever you want to go.
Apartment was perfectly clean, and supplied with everything we needed. Our only suggestion would be to use higher-wattage light bulbs in the living room and kitchen, for the sake of those who would like to be able to read there.
Some early reviews expressed concern about noise the host's kids made upstairs. We have no trouble with that at all, though we do get up fairly early.
