The studio apartment was beautiful. Everything was like brand new and very comfortable. The building was quiet (never heard a beep from the neighbors) and the street was quiet at night, despite being in the heart of Cambridge. For those who come by car, leaving mine at the Ailwife ramp garage ($8 a night, 7 night max) and taking bus 83 from Russel Field (very close to Ailwife) brought me right to the apartment, almost across the street. Everything was then convenient by bus, subway, there's even nearby bike rental. Pauline made me feel so welcome, it really felt like I was staying with a friend.
