Had a wonderful 5 month long stay. Whenever an issue would arise, the host would almost immediately respond. The issue would be addressed promptly and fairly. I stayed with 3 other guests. The place was well furnished, and the beds were very comfy. We stayed primarily during the winter, but I bet it’s a blast during the summertime. Davis square is quite lively and a 20 min walk away!
The laundry does not work that well (and it’s $2.75 for wash, $2.75 for dry). I’d recommend using the laundromat down the street if you can.
It’s a little tight for 5 adults if you want to stay for a long time. Again, we stayed for 5 months for context.
I’d recommend bringing a car with you if you can. It’s very residential.
There’s some avid motorcycle mechanics that build strange and entertaining motorized vehicles in the driveway. On rare occasion it can get noisy on weekend nights, but you can’t really hear them if the windows are closed.
