This place was perfect and the location was fantastic! It's within a ten minute walk to everything that Harvard Square has to offer. Harvard Square is a wonderful place. It has great coffee shops, books stores, shops and very impressive classic New England architecture. The place is also a five minute walk to the Harvard Square metro stop (Red Line) which will take you directly into the heart of Boston in 20 or so minutes. I found this to be incredibly convenient. The host was also fantastic. She was extremely responsive and helpful. She also ensured that the place clean and I felt a genuine sense of hospitality. Cannot recommend enough!
