I am very glad that I booked Charles's place and would definitely stay again! He was very responsive to my inquiries and the check in/out process was very seamless. He also checked in with me during my first day to make sure that everything was in order and to see if I had any questions--very kind! My basement room was small, but efficient and perfect for my needs while I was in town for a two-day training session. The queen-sized bed was very comfortable, the small desk was great to have on hand, the two small windows let in natural light, and they had chilled bottled water in the fridge. The unit is set back from the street, so it was very quiet at night, which was quite peaceful. The bedroom also has an individual A/C unit so I was able to control my own temperature (this is a little thing that I wouldn't have even thought about beforehand, but was grateful to have!). The linen and towels were crisp and clean. The bathroom is shared with one other room (I never saw them during the two nights that I stayed), but it worked out fine with no awkwardness. The location is great--Au Bon Pain across the street, restaurants within two blocks (one with rooftop dining!), and easy walking distance into the Harvard Yard and the shops and cafes of Cambridge. This is not a luxury stay, but if you value cleanliness, quiet, a comfortable bed, and incredible access to all that Cambridge has to offer at a very fair price, then I would recommend Charles's place.
