Nan greeted me when I arrived outside even though it was raining! It was a convenient location for meeting people at MIT and I did appreciate the "home base" with my own bathroom access. It was also really nice that they offered me an umbrella to use because it was quite rainy and I hadn't brought one- thanks! Wifi was easy and reliable, bed was comfortable.

I second the previous person who recommended earplugs- the house is indeed creaky/thin-walled and I woke up several times when someone's phone rang multiple times during the night and listening to the phone call (the host? another tenant? not sure).

The only other comment is that there was a vague smell of pipe smoke at various points during the day/night (depending how air was being circulated maybe?).
