This a terrific location if visiting Cambridge as you have access to downtown and the Fresh Pond reservoir is next door. Leyla and family live above the basement apartment so they are "on site" and she communicated promptly and graciously. The apartment is well appointed and spotless. But it is a basement apartment with functionally no windows and low ceilings. We were there during a frigid period so we could not take advantage of the outdoor space or the park that circles the reservoir which would added to the experience.
