Cambridge is excellent for visiting Boston if driving by car. The city is expensive and compact, and not parking in a garage makes all the difference. Our hosts were proactive in making sure our truck was parked correctly. The house is a quintessential New England home, which adds charm to the trip, and everything worked and was clean. When getting out of "the city" for the day, this neighborhood is good for relaxing. Between public transportation, cabs, and uber, it's easy to get around and see the sights of Boston and make the most of your trip. I recommend this location and our hosts for your travel plans.
