The house is located in a very nice neighborhood and I felt safe entire time. It is close to MIT and Harvard so you can enjoy a 15-20 min. walk to there. There are several cafes and restaurants nearby. The room has a plenty of room and closet space. It has a private entrance which is really handy. The room is located on the first floor by the kitchen and there are other rooms in the house which you will be sharing the common areas. The host is very quick to respond and accommodate our needs quickly! Very helpful! Great value, great location, great host!
