Our family stayed in Ling Yi's apartment for 3 weeks during summer and we really loved the place, the location and everything! The host was professional. Ling Yi and his wife, Leslie, provided in advance all we needed to know before our arrival so our check-in was smooth although we arrived late at night due to the flight delay. The apartment was exactly the same as you could see from the photos and had all facilities we need for a long stay including fully equipped kitchen and washing/drying machine. The location was also perfect.
The apartment was just within 10-minute walk to Wholefood, Trader's Joe, CVS, McDonald etc. We travelled with two kids and a baby. Our kids could walk to the summer camp nearby and our baby could spend an afternoon at a big kids play space that was operated during summer just across the apartment's road. My husband could also biked to his class in Harvard/MIT within 10-20 minutes. Whenever we had free time, we would take the kids to walk and run in Fresh Pond and played football in Danehy park, also just a minutes walk. In overall, staying in Ling Yi's apartment provided us the wonderful living in Cambridge and great experience of Boston!
