Very nice condo at a perfect location

We very much enjoyed our stay. The condo is in a perfect condition with everything you need for prolonged stay. We very much appreciated the simplicity of the check-in and check-out process as well as clear communications from Eduardo. The red line and a commuter line stations are around the corner and the Harvard square is a short walk (for our standards) away. The neighborhood is very nice and perfectly walkable. I would love to stay there again in the future.

Charming Unit

We really enjoyed our stay at this nice charming little two bedroom apartment. It was very clean. The checking process was great. The communication with the host was amazing. All in all, it's a great place to stay. If you're close to Cambridge area and Somerville and all the shops and restaurants, it's a beautiful place to stay

Great spot

We enjoyed our time in Somerville and this was a great location. Apartment cool and clean, kitchen well stocked. Slight issue on check in w/ the people renting upstairs apartment getting the code for the downstairs unit but this was quickly sorted out after a call to the owner who not only resolved the issue but reimbursed us the cost of dinner as an apology for the hassle and confusion caused. Overall great place, would stay again.

Somerville/Cambridge

Comfortable, clean, well-stocked flat. Very thoughtful managers who sent lots of great information before we arrived. We chose this listing because we needed a place near MIT and that would allow pets. We did have to drive to MIT but we had easy parking at the rental and a great spot for breakfast right across the street.

Top tier stay

My family and I stayed here while visiting Boston on a historical tour of sorts, and we were all thrilled with these accommodations. The property manager provided excellent info and help, and was quick to respond to any questions we had. He even had the sofa bed converted and made up for us, so on our first day and after a lot of travel, we were just able to unwind. The beds were very comfortable but what I appreciated most were all the little details: cozy lighting, a fully equipped kitchen, great organization… it just felt very welcoming, a home away from home. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and the nearest transit stop (and a Target) is only a short walk away. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The location was excellent for moving our daughter into Lesley University. Great communication from the owner. The home was built in 1910 and has been updated. It was clean, organized, and had what we needed, but I was not expecting there to be 83% humidity inside the home. The towels almost felt damp due to the humidity and couldn’t dry out between uses. Our unit did not have a washer/dryer. My Kindle said it was too wet to charge due to the humidity. I did not enjoy seeing mouse traps next to the fridge. We didn’t see any mice, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Overall a nice stay

I arrived for a friend's funeral, and only stayed one night, and my stay was pleasant and uneventful, which was a plus to me. The space was clean and quiet. Check in was smooth, with no issues, and I was able to check in a bit early for an extra fee, which was helpful to me. The only odd thing that occurred was the house next door had a sticker on the window which read, "you're next." In a way, I found it a little humorous, considering I was there for a close friend's funeral, although it was a little jarring at first. I mean, it was pretty ironic, but odd. I am sure it was a joke, but a weird one. Also, a door that connected to the main common space hallway was unlocked when I arrived, and I was able to lock it on my side, but I am sure someone had a key and could enter at any time. I did not like that. That should be changed. Overall, I was happy with my stay.

Our stay was wonderful and the host made things so easy for us. The unit is about a 5-10 min walk to the subway station (red line) which allowed us to easily travel our son’s college. We would stay here again for sure.
