Whole Foods grocery is just 5 minutes away, shops and restaurants, City Hall, banks, and post office are all within walking distance.
Subway and buses are nearby to go to Boston and the surrounding towns. My street is safe and one-way with very little traffic at night so you will have a quiet environment for a good night's sleep.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Wendy
I was born and grew up in Taiwan, and came to the US at 21. I love America, and I love being a host. I retired from the IT field in Boston. I owned an avocado ranch for 10 years in San Diego County, California, I also have a counseling psychology Master's degree, so technology, farming and psychology are my passions. Hosting is an interesting job because I love to get to know people from other cultures and it fascinates me.
Why they chose this property
Central Square is an exciting area; there are two college campuses nearby ( MIT and Harvard), and shops and restaurants fill along the streets. There is no need to own a car for basic needs. Public transportation ( bus and subway ) takes you to Boston and other major towns nearby. A vibrant and safe city.
What makes this property unique
My home was renovated with my own touch and taste. I kept the old charm from the past and added the most modern convenience.
I made every bedroom a suite; all bedrooms have their own bathroom and marble floors, and all have a jetted bathtub for comfort.
I made the whole first floor with an open-concept design; it is a place for cooking, entertainment, and relaxation place.
Three bedrooms are located on the 2nd and third floor. All bedrooms are situated away from each other for privacy.
My house is located on a quiet street with one-way traffic; there is very little traffic noise at night, so a good night's sleep is a blessing.
