Wonderful
The house was so lovely and better than the pictures! The house sits in a lovely residential area, within walking distance to the bus stop and several restaurants and a grocery store. The hosts were wonderful. We arrived earlier than expected and they were gracious enough to allow us to leave our luggage while they got the place ready. We were able to walk around the area and visited the Mt. Auburn Cemetery down the block. The home was larger than expected with three good size rooms a full, large kitchen equipped with all of the necessities. The living room provided a nice common space in the center of the home for my family to gather. We did not use the backdoor and I cannot speak to any outside areas because we were out from the house for the most part. Overall it was a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

Everything we were hoping for
My family came up to Boston for a long weekend to see family that had come over from the UK. They were staying in central Boston, but with the expense and craziness of the city, we were looking for something conveniently located but a little removed from the busy city center. There's 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 teenage kids, and it was important for us that all the kids got their own space and didn't have to share beds and feel packed in like sardines. To this end, this accommodation served perfectly! The property was beautiful and well maintained. Everything was well laid out, with every comfort. All the facilities we expected from the listing, and more! The kids were thrilled they each got their own space. The neighborhood was peaceful and this was a great place to return to after a busy day touring the sights of Boston. It felt like a home away from home. This accommodation was a big part of making this such a wonderful and memorable trip. Thank you!

Great location, property, and hosts!
We just returned from our trip to Boston and we really enjoyed this property. Location - this is a great location! It's walking distance to the grocery store (Star Market), a great reservoir with a walking path, and it's in a safe neighborhood (I walked at night by myself without concern. For our purposes, driving was necessary so I can't speak to access to public transit. Property - this first floor property was set up to be reserved by bedroom or the whole unit (which we did). We had 6 people and everyone fit nicely. There is a common space for watching TV and the kitchen is large/equipped. Keep in mind, this neighborhood is well-maintained but has older homes that don't have central air. There is an AC unit in each bedroom and the living room. We found this system to work well for our needs (close the doors and turn on the AC when you return and bedrooms are cool and comfortable by the time you go to sleep). Communication - hosts were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Super kind to allow us to use their driveway while there (I think this is standard but still requires work on their part!). One thing to keep in mind - my husband did work from the property one day (he was the only one home) and was frustrated he couldn't make video calls from the wifi. All of our other wifi needs were fine including regular web browsing and texting but the video calls were difficult. We had a great time and would stay again!!

Great Place to Stay
This Vrbo was perfect to stay at for the 2023 Boston Marathon. It was in a great location to be able to get around the city, and near Fresh Pond which has a nice walking trail. The hosts were highly responsive and very helpful. Has plenty of space for a big group. Highly recommend.

Perfect for Moving In to Harvard Apartment
My family and I shared this apartment with another family to help our two adult children move into their new apartment in Cambridge- so 6 adults in the apartment. It was perfect- three rooms each comfortable and large enough for two people with A/C units in each that kept it cool. There's also a small bed off one of the bedrooms with a desk if someone had wanted to work there. Full kitchen and a sitting room as well. We were out a lot moving but found it a very comfortable spot to begin and end our days. Bathroom shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The Star Market nearby was great for picking up food or Starbucks in the morning. Parking was perfect- we had to have a uhaul parked there for two days and the hosts reserved their driveway for us plus there was parking on the street as well (although we were able to put the uhaul and two cars in the driveway)--a HUGE plus and rare find in Cambridge to have that parking available! The apartment was incredibly clean, the beds firm and comfy. There was also a washer/dryer available. Quiet at night. Kitty and Mark are available if needed and very responsive but also not intrusive at all. Have nothing but great things to say! We will be back next time we visit our kids!

Marathon Weekend
The apartment is in a great location right by Freshwater Pond and a grocery store. Quiet neighborhood with off street parking. The apartment was clean and well set up for our group of three couples. One room had a queen bed, the other two had full sized beds with one of those rooms having an extra room with another twin bed. Kitty immediately responded to my questions and everything was great for our visit. I initially thought we'd take the T into Boston for most of our travel, but we ended up driving instead.

This first floor apartment was exactly as advertised! It was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect to enjoy all that Boston had to offer as well as quieter locals to the north of the city. Kitty responded quickly to all questions and was easy to work with. I would highly recommend renting this apartment.

Spacious, light-filled, first-floor apartment. Very clean, with simple furnishing and not a lot of personal touches. Fluffy white towels and wash cloths: that's always a much-appreciated detail for me. Walking distance to some of Cambridge's best cafes and Armenian markets.
