Truly an incredible location, esp if visiting Harvard.
You will need to walk up a few narrow and winding flights of stairs. Best not to bring heavy, nor large suitcases; which we had b/c we were moving our son into Harvard. Luckily he is strong, young, and healthy, so no big deal there.
There are NO curtains over the large windows in the living room, so careful if you like to walk around naked.
There was no extra blanket for the futon, so I had to use my son's sleeping bag.
The tubing to the fan in the living room kept coming apart and spilling water, so if you don't like to get hot, you should probably look elsewhere.
The drapes in the bedroom are not sized appropriately, so can let in a lot of heat, if not closed just right; or if the curtain falls over the window unit, since it covers it b/c it's too long.
I would go back to this apartment b/c it is such a great location, if:
1) outdoor temp is 70 or below, then don't need to rely on A/C
2) drapes FULLY cover ALL the windows - as long as not sheer or "see-through"
3) there are blankets available, esp if it's winter
