John was a great host. My boyfriend and I were late getting to the apartment, but John was very understanding. He answered several questions we had and was extremely accommodating. He provided complimentary breakfast, which was thoughtful. The room was perfect for what we needed - a place to sleep (we were out and about during the day). The neighborhood was great, we were able to walk to Harvard square and the conference we were attending. I would definitely stay here again if I was visiting the area. I highly recommend this spot if you are simply looking for a safe, comfortable place to stay.
