Visiting Boston
I stayed for 3 days to visit my daughter in Harvard and my son, 10th grade had a plan visiting other colleges in Boston. We really enjoyed staying there; close to Harvard square, everything that I needed, and very clean. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Boston.

Victor is an excellent host, and the apartment was perfect for our needs. There is some ambient noise, normal for an area like Cambridge. Everything was very clean and comfortable, communication was excellent, checkin was easy and Victor is an amiable host. We will check availability here anytime we're back in the area.

Nice stay in west Cambridge
Shorter than originally planned, we had a short stay in this apartment on the second floor that n the owners private house. Well equipped pantry, nice neighborhood and nice host. A little hard to find when we arrived in the dark. Walking distance (2 km) to Harvard sq and possible to use public transport but easier with own/hired car. Would consider again if I visit the Boston area.

Lovely and convenient
We loved our stay here. It’s a great place for 2 at best with easy access to Harvard Square, Boston, and other locations in the area. Victor and his wife were available for assistance and guidance, and are quite friendly. The street is busy so there is a lot of traffic noise if the windows are open. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything we needed
The studio apartment was conveniently located and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. Surprisingly quiet, given that the street is four lanes and quite busy, although residential, and warm inside while it was below zero outside.
