Wonderful Weekend Trip

The home was incredibly comfortable, clean and well-located. My friends and I had a long weekend to explore Boston, and we could not have asked for a better home or a better host. Nina was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The space was very comfortable for our group.

While we do try to keep batteries refreshed, it turns out the Firestick remote needed new ones. Our next guests actually figured that out before I did and popped them in. Wish you had given us a shout about that and we could have had you up and running lickety-split. Thanks!

Awesome stay!

We have stayed at perhaps 15 VRBO's around the world and this ranks near the top. Very clean, well located and easy to deal with the owner. The house feels like someones home, with nice artwork and everything you would need. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Wonderful place!

This spacious first floor apartment is ideally located between Kendall Square and Lechmere T stops & near a multitude of fabulous cafes and restaurants. It is beautifully decorated but also comfortable and homey. Parking was easy on the street with a parking permit that was included with the rental. The owner lives upstairs and was very helpful without being intrusive. We had a terrific stay in Cambridge over Christmas and would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Very nice place, convenient and quiet.

Nina was super conscientious about making sure we had what we needed - especially the pass for street parking, which turned out to be very key for us. Also if your kids are like ours, and don't want to deal with restaurants for every meal, the kitchen was set up well enough to allow us to eat in without problem.

Home away from home

This was our second stay at this property and it won't be our last. Everything about the location, the property, the owner, has been perfect. Nina is fantastic in all respects. This is becoming our home away from home when in the Boston area. The house is beautiful inside and spotless. The location could not be more convenient for both visiting Cambridge and Boston and new this time was the bike rental kiosk right across the street from the house which we made use of several times. The Boston Science Museum is a short walk away as are great restaurants and other attractions. We would not want to stay anywhere!

Nice place in quiet neighborhood

We enjoyed the living room, kitchen and the yard. Yards are rare in CAmbridge. Nice and clean and well furnished. As older folks we struggled with the beds. We are used to firm foam and found one beds felt saggy. If we were younger we probably would t be bothered by it.

Hi, Susan - We didn't know about that saggy bed, but have replaced the mattress with an amazing firm, but comfy $2000 mattress. Should you come again I bet you will be quite happy with it! Thanks for letting us know!!

About the host

Hosted by Nina Quinlan

Host profile image
This is my second vacation/short-term rental. My daughter and I take great joy in setting them up, making them as delightful and homey as they can be.

Why they chose this property

This property is charming and in a quiet area of Cambridge, yet a six-minute walk from both the Green and Red Lines, a 15-minute walk to Boston, hop skip to Central, Kendall and Inman squares. There is more music and more International restaurants here than you can shake a stick at and the major highways a stone's throw, making it convenient to get to the woods, mountains and beaches.
