It was a quiet part of Cambridge and the home was on a lightly traveled street. My host could not have been nicer!!! My room was simple, but exactly what I needed. The bed was comfortable with extra blankets available if I needed them. The bathroom was clean and the water for the shower was hot and the pressure was good. My host had a parking permit available for me which made parking a breeze (right in front of the home). Overall a terrific experience!
