Nelson and Pauline are incredibly considerate and helpful hosts. They made the stay very easygoing. The studio itself is on the smaller side but not so small that it feels cramped. The location of the studio is the main appeal: it's a short walk to Walgreens, Whole Foods, and lots of restaurants and shops. It's about 20 min. walk to Harvard and MIT. The neighborhood is also good for jogging in and it's a short trek to the river. I really enjoyed my two months at the studio and can't recommend it enough.
