I stayed at Maggie's place for 12 days with my daughter when we came to the area to move her into college. Staying there was like house-sitting for a dear friend, it was so homey. Maggie's condo is extremely comfortable, stylish, and in a great location. Maggie is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Check in was simple and since the door to the house and the condo (it is one of 3 in the building) are key-less, it was great just to have a code to get in. We had our car and found parking on the street in front of the house almost every time (there is plenty of parking on adjacent streets, too). The neighborhood is residential, quiet and safe. It is an easy walk to the T stop and all the businesses in Central Square. There is a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, a short walk in the other direction. Harvard Square is an easy 15 minute walk. It is very easy to get around the Boston area on public transportation and walking, but there is also bike sharing just down the street at the park.
The condo is lovely with plenty of space and a fantastic deck right off the living room. It is on the second floor, so the deck is elevated and very private. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook or bring in food. For lobster, I highly recommend Alive and Kicking just a few blocks away. The beds are very comfortable and the towels and sheets are good quality. The bathroom is large and has a wonderful rain-shower. There is a full size washer and dryer in the bathroom, which for us (being there almost 2 weeks) was vital. The condo has central air conditioning that works extremely well. The wifi is good in all rooms and the deck. There is a large TV with many choices of channels and a Blueray. We had a wonderful stay at Maggie's place and recommend without reservation.
