You get what you pay for

I'll start with the positives. Price was great for 2 nights. The place was clean but could be cleaner. Location worked for us. Short walk into Harvard Sq and the T. Negatives. We stayed in unit 3, top floor. The windows need to be replaced big time! No locks at all facing Mt. Auburn St. Granted no one could enter from there unless they had a ladder, but come on. Monday is trash day. 5:30-6am, wow! You are locked into the noise for a good 15 to 20 minutes. Patch work repairs throughout the apartment. A paint job on the front would make for a much better presentation as well as finishing the patch work around the place. Overall it suited our needs. We did not hang out there just a place to crash.

Meh…..

Apartment is decent, well kept/ maintained, and in a good location. Unfortunately when you’re paying over 200/night, you like there to be hangers in the closets, the ceiling lights in the master bedroom not to be blown/ not working, and for the exhaust fan in the bathroom to work.All of which is acceptable if you’re paying under 125/ night. But not acceptable at over 200/ night

Rowers on the Charles!

Comfortable, well stocked and quiet apartment. Great view of rowers on the Charles. Only about a 10 minute walk to the T in Harvard Square. Off street parking is a huge bonus. Driveway is tight and it could be a problem if there were several cars, but not for us as we mostly left the car. There are two flights of stairs, but they are well lit and manageable.

Nice location, but…

It’s a short walk to Harvard square and near a nice small park as well as the river front park. Awesome location for sure. The building is very old and shows its age. The apartment needs updating, the bed was fine, but not great, and the furnishings are nothing special overall. There were ants in the bathroom and it could have been cleaner too. The TV worked good, didn’t use the kitchen but it didn’t really inspire use. Nice views of river but the road noise is a bit loud. We would not stay again, but it was very walkable around Harvard Square. We were able to park our car in the driveway overnight with no problems though it did seem to be shared with the other units in the building so if one of them parked behind you would have to text the person and get them to move their car, there was a whiteboard system in the hallway for that. I would encourage the owner to renovate, this place would be a lot more attractive that way.

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

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.
