The room is large and has a nice spacious living area and a desk as well as the bed (which is really comfortable). The facilities were excellent and everything was spotlessly clean. There is a shared toilet on the same floor and a shared bathroom one floor down. I think those facilities are shared with the occupants of one other apartment, it was absolutely no problem for me. The location is very convenient to Harvard and to the subway, and is on an attractive, quiet, tree-lined street. I didn't meet the hosts, but they provided clear information and got in touch on a couple of occasions to ask if everything was OK. Great place, strongly recommended.
