We had a great experience-- the apartment was a 10 minute walk to Davis Square, much of it along a pretty bike/walking path. It was in a quiet family neighborhood, which gave us the experience of actually living there. Kate was very responsive, and had snacks waiting for us when we arrived. There was even coffee for the coffee maker! The only negative was that the bed in the main bedroom was a double, which was a little small for two people. Overall, a great experience!
