On River/Harvard Sq. two blocks

The furniture is old as seen in the pictures and the rooms are a bit musty but clean. It’s not possible to open all of the windows. At our stay the dishwasher didn’t work and the water leaked out if the air conditioner. But the host was very friendly. He wanted to repair the devices.

Great

Property was in a great location, but definitely has seen better days. It would suffice for younger crowds coming to visit their friends in Cambridge. The stairs to walk up are not the easiest for anyone who has minor challenges with stairs. The door opens toward the stairs, making it challenging to unlock and enter if your hands are full. The electronic lock is finicky, and at one point it locked us out due to too many retries. We were simply trying to activate the keypad to enter the code. Luckily, someone from our party was in the unit and we woke them up to let us in. The most concerning thing about the lock was we had no idea how long we’d have to wait until we could retry the code once we were locked out of using the keypad. Didn’t feel comfortable parking in the drive, as it’s a tandem spot and you have to coordinate with other tenants if anyone needs to move. Street parking requires a permit, except on weekends and evenings. Kitchen wasn’t filthy, but there were spots that had a decent amount of dust buildup. One of the beds had a frame that was too big, and a piece of metal stuck out that one of our party had a rather unfortunate encounter with. I dunno how that hasn’t been an issue previously. The paper shades were fastened up with some sort of chip clips that were at their max being only halfway up. This was a nuisance. Walkability was really good, short distance to Harvard square and the metro station.

Easy transaction and clean house Comfy bed, and clean unit. Tha ks

Great location This is a great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Cambridge. There are stairs, but it is so convenient.

Old New England charm and character Great location, lots of space, free parking. Beds so soft you'll sink into 'em. Easy access. Truly a gem for the visitors in Boston area.Walk to bustling Harvard Square, relax in the park next door, stroll the streets of Old Cambridge soaked in colonial history.[ Understand it's an old house, so definitely not for the people who only accept brand spankin' new stuff. If you drop a golf ball on the floor in any of the rooms, it'll keep rolling. But it's a part of the charm package. :) ]Walk to bustling
