We stayed at Kate and Andy’s apartment for 8 nights and enjoyed every aspect of our trip. The space is clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We were greeted by Kate, who waited for us, despite being later than anticipated. There was a lovely welcome basket filled with goodies and essentials; all much appreciated after a long journey. The location proved great for exploring Cambridge itself, nearby Somerville, Harvard and Boston. The ‘T’ worked as a very inexpensive way of exploring, with a weekly pass costing $19.
As a host, Kate was gracious, attentive and helped with all our questions and queries. She even booked a restaurant for my Mum’s birthday before we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and we were never made to feel awkward about asking. There are plenty of leaflets and recommendations in the apartment; they are worth a read upon arrival. When we mentioned the possibility of clean sheets and towels part way through the stay, they were more than happy to oblige and bought fresh sets to us straight away. We were made to feel very at home. I would encourage anyone to stay here and would not hesitate to book again. If only we lived nearer we would be back to visit very soon!

Overall, we had great stay made even nicer by the personal touches and Kate’s friendly, hospitable nature.
