Tranquil House In Cambridge

Simple and easy and had everything I needed

Location is a bit off the beaten path.

The room was well-maintained, and the host was super communicative and helpful. It really is a tranquil house with great amenities.

The front porch doesn't have any lighting, which made standing outside late at night a bit spooky. . Also, my room had a huge mirror that reflects the bed (it's actually a door separating the living room and the workspace), I felt a little uncomfortable. Even though it was the middle of summer, Boston's weather got unpredictable, and the room got quite cold at night.

Excellent, quiet but centrally located, near where I was going the next day. Glad to find clean comfortable affordable place to stay

Didn’t know how to turn on heat, instructions would be helpful

at first i didn’t like that the place didn’t match the pictures but the bed was amazingly comfortable. pillows as well and there were extras. good quality cotton sheets, not cheap synthetic. mark was also very kind and helpful. he helped with checkin and the door when i couldn’t open it. it was mostly very clean. our room and bathroom were very clean. upstairs (3rd floor ) common area was cute but a little empty. a few plants or decorations could go a long way. i was worried about the temperature with only a lighter quilt but it was perfect actually. the blanket was very nice. (please consider a top sheet.) bedroom doors lock. on site and street parking.

the common areas are a bit drab and not very clean, but we didn’t use them. the windows on glass door for example was very dirty. most doors needed a good wiping. our bathroom, despite being shared, didn’t lock. the laundry detergent has a strong smell which was too much for me. please consider using unscented or natural scents. bottom door is a little tricky and we never got check in instructions. just arrived to find a number in door. this was ok since we arrived early before we went into the city but if not it would’ve been stressful. sending a message with clear checking instructions is a must. including the front door code and how to open and lock it.
