My husband and I stayed one night at Nora's. She was prompt with her responses and let us know to contact her if we needed anything. Her apartment was clean, did NOT have that basement apartment smell which was wonderful, and she had little snacks sitting on the table that were great after our 5 hour drive. Checking in was easy and quick. Her apartment is located so close to the red line which made getting into Harvard Square quick and easy which isn't always the case in the city. This was a much better alternative to staying in a hotel as there was ZERO noise. If we ever find ourselves needing to be in Cambridge or Boston again we'd definitely check to see if she isn't booked because this was just all around wonderful!
