We have stayed in many privately rented apartments all over the world, and this one ranks among the best. It is exactly as described, and Rebecca made us feel very welcome. The location could not be better- very quiet, but less than five minute walk from the shops/restaurants/easy transport of Davis Square. We had two adults and three kids between the ages of 3 and 11, and it was perfect for all. This apartment ticks all the boxes. If you are lucky enough to find it available when you need it, you will be more than satisfied. We would love to return. Rebecca is a charming, attentive and accommodating host.
