Jake's place was comfortable and served me and my family really well (two adults and two 10-year-olds). Kitchen was fully serviceable - we were able to actually cook in it. Ten-minute walk to Central Sq. stop on the subway, which gets you into downtown in about 10 or 15 minutes. Five-minute walk to the river and Trader Joe's. Neighborhood felt very safe. Highly recommended for families with young kids!
