I simply cannot say enough good things about this lovely space, or Gema as a host, as both were truly wonderful. The space itself is great—as noted in the listing, you get the entire attic floor to yourself (including a private room with a keypad-locking door.) I had some work to do while visiting, and this quiet, private space was perfect for doing it. The room is spacious, the bed is comfortable, and the fact that it is air conditioned was a great boon to me, as it was in the high 90s my entire visit, but I got to be totally comfortable! (There is also a large container of bottled water available for guests, which I drew on quite a bit during those hot days!) The overall house is lovely—the shared bathroom is so airy and pretty (with a gorgeous claw foot tub!), and I so much appreciated having access to the kitchen, as well.
The location couldn’t be better—it’s in a very nice, quiet neighborhood, and is also in easy walking distance to a lot of main spots of interest in Cambridge, and near Green and Red Line T stops to get anywhere else in Boston/the wider area. (And I indulged and took a Lyft to the airport—it only took about 15 minutes, and cost only $18!)
Gema is a wonderful host—very kind, welcoming, and helpful. She could not have been more accommodating, checking in to see if I needed anything, and offering a useful resource guide to area restaurants and attractions.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet, private place to stay with a kind, thoughtful host, in a lovely house which provides ready access to Cambridge and Boston—I cannot recommend this delightful place enough!
