Great Landing Spot for Boston

My boys and I loved our four days in Boston with this comfortable landing spot as our home away from home. We were able to walk to Trader Joe’s to get groceries for a few meals, we enjoyed watching movies and playing cards in the spacious living room, and were grateful to go to our own spaces at the end of the day. Check in was easy and our host provided snacks and water, which were much appreciated. The T was an easy walk, so we could get wherever we wanted in Boston without trouble.

Perfect place for our stay in Cambridge

We loved the space and the location. We are a family of four and everyone had a room (and a full bathroom of they wanted). It’s a quick walk to the redline or the river (great biking and running) and there is a Whole Foods walking distance. The AC was terrific in the bit of heat. We would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Would not stay here again. Host was, while relatively quick to respond to messages, did not actually address a key issue (ants - and LOTS of them!) until day 3 of a 5 day stay.. and the response did not actually solve the problem. They also nickel and dimed everything - with un-transparent rates (eg early arrival, late checkout, pet fee, parking). They offered a refund given one bathroom was completely unusable the entire trip but never actually fulfilled their promise.. beware!!!
