This is an ideally situated location and easy to find. The 1 bus stops just steps from the front gate. Easy walk into Harvard Square the rest of Cambridge.
This is a separate semi-basement apartment that two ample rooms a sizeable kitchen and table, although it is kind of a tight squeeze. Water cooler, fridge, all the utensils, etc. I stayed in the Omega room and nobody else was there (or at least I thought -- see below).
That being said, there were a couple of unusual uncomfortable instances that caught me off guard. About a day and a half into my stay, out of nowhere -- without knocking or ringing the doorbell -- Richard showed up unannounced in the living room to say hello. I've stayed in many Airbnb's around the world but I have never been walked in on like that. What if I was half-dressed?
When he said hello, I asked him if I was the only person staying here, and he said yes. After all, we are in a pandemic, and this would require sharing *everything* but the bedrooms.
However, on my last full day, in the afternoon, I was coming out of the bathroom, and there Richard was again (unannounced) with a very young couple looking at the other room. A few minutes later, they all disappeared.
In the middle of the night, I heard somebody flush the toilet in the bathroom and then open the door. Thankfully, my door was closed. The next morning, I left my room and saw the bed next door slept in and unmade -- and nothing else in the apartment was touched.
