Jenny is an exceptionally warm and kind-hearted host. Beyond that, she is unfailingly helpful and flexible, which are important qualities for longer-term guests.

I spent a semester living in the large, comfortable downstairs room (with private bath). It's an ideal sabbatical home base, well suited as a writer's refuge, and close to everything, including the Cambridge universities, transportation (T, bus lines, Zipcars), shopping, parks, restaurants, cinema, etc.

Jenny's house is beautiful, and the neighborhood is charming. It's hard to believe there could be such an authentic, friendly neighborhood in the midst of high-IQ (and high-rent) Cambridge.

The newly renovated bathroom is very nice and clean, though the ceiling in the shower is 5'10" or 5'11", so tall people (like me) will have to duck their heads a little. It has not been a problem for me -- I'm 6'0'' -- but could be a problem for taller people. (This is not an issue in the ground floor bedroom, nor in the upstairs guest room and bath, only in the ground floor bathroom.)
