Gema is a wonderful hostess!! She provided a sparkling clean room secure with a combination locked door, fresh towels, and a comfy bed. Her place is in walking distance of a couple of eateries, laundromat and CVS. There are lots of families and individuals that walk or bike in the area and the vibe is one of comfort, safety and friendliness. I had easy access to my room with detailed instructions on coming and going. Although I knew there were other people in the house, they were quiet and I rested very well. I did have a room with the unique design of slanted walls, but for me it wasn't a problem to stoop if I needed to. There was an air conditioner at the window which was a great option if you preferred. I highly recommend this place if you have a short stay in the Cambridge area. You will not be disappointed!! I would stay here again for sure!!
