I ended up staying at Connie's home for three nights and it was an absolutely lovely stay. From the early communications about my tentative plans, to the confirmation of my arrival the day of, Connie was incredibly communicative and helpful making my stay in Cambridge seamless. Anyone not familiar with the area (I was not), attending Harvard, this location is quite ideal. A short walk to the local bus stop takes you the mile or so to Harvard Square and Google Maps has all of the MBTA schedules. The neighborhood is quiet and has a fantastic energy. I walked to/from Davis Square on a Friday night for dinner, and felt safe doing so alone.

Connie's home is beautiful and artistically appointed, with fantastic natural light and a great space to get work done (a desk with comfortable chair). She was incredibly thoughtful and provided light snacks to guests in the refrigerator and had everything ready upon my arrival. There are numerous restaurants close by, a local Chinese place that delivers late, and a Starbucks on the walk to the bus.

I have to return to the area at least once per semester and will most definitely stay with Connie again. Thank you for everything!
