This place has a great location. Near to Harvard and to MIT as well as to the subway. It is also close to the Charles river. It has a spaceous kitchen and laundry machine. But there was no airconditioning. Linens were not regularly changed, and you have to ask for new towels. The dog was really smart and lovable. But it could get crowded with a host, a dog, and occasional guest(s). Not much of a privacy. For its price, this is a good place to stay.
