Great location. We enjoyed staying at Bruce and Fariba's place. We were able to access the T either via Harvard Square or via Porter Square. I think the walk to Harvard Square was a little bit shorter but no problem either way (10 minute walk). It was a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed having easy access to coffee shops, groceries, restaurants at either spot also. The space was clean and spacious and we had everything we needed. Definitely would pick this place again.
