Having lived in Harvard Square for many years, I know that prices in Cambridge are quite high and you are primarily paying for location, and this Airbnb is no exception. It was great walking distance to central square, harvard square, MIT, and the river, but the house itself is from the 1800s and frankly just not the most comfortable. Maggie has done a great job warming up the space with art and mirrors on the walls, but this didn't mask the inconvenience of having the bathroom located in the kitchen (downstairs and awkwardly far from the upstairs bedrooms) or the uncomfortable furniture that looks cute in photos but made spending time in the living room not so great.
Overall, if location is what you care about most, it is very conveniently situated, but for my needs the value was not at the level I expected for this pricepoint.
