Lovely house, fantastic location close to the river and an easy walk along the river path into the city. Lots of thoughtful touches. Comfortable beds and use of an exclusive parking space at the rear, which is important as there is little parking in the area. Would stay again.

Great location for our month long stay

The property was perfect for our family of 5 for a month-long stay. The location was great for us — walkable and bikeable to the central city, and close to a bus stop for longer trips. The property was clean and consistent with the online booking. Communication with the property manager was excellent. The kitchen included all the things we needed to prepare many meals, and we made use of the laundry facilities. Overall, this was a great home base for many memories made in Cambridge.

Lovely clean house, great communication, and location!

This was a great property - really clean, great location, comfortable beds and clean towels etc. The property was a little "sparse" for my taste - not too homey feeling, but it was so clean and had everything that was needed. i would certainly stay again. The communication with the team House Luchini was fantastic - they were proactive and always answered any communication in a very short time. I was really impressed.

Excellent Stay

Property was very clean and as advertised. Nice and bright house in very nice neighborhood. Comfortable beds, a really nice living/sitting/dinning room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. A perfect place for a family. We stayed with our 9mo old and the property provided a portable crib and a high chair which were appreciated. Really good communication with owner/manager. This property is about a 20 min walk to central Cambridge. It is a very scenic walk. There are also a few pubs and shops in the more immediate neighborhood.

Very cosy and comfortable accommodation, perfect hosts

It was a wonderful time we had in this little cosy house. Everything went smoothly: communication beforehand, check in, our actual stay and check out. The host is very welcoming and quick to respond. Everything was perfect. We would come again for sure!The only thing to improve is the sleeping situation in the main bedroom: it is a king size bed with one mattress (a quite "bumpy" one) and one cover. It might be a cultural thing, but we find that the sleep on two separate mattresses and two covers is much more comfortable as the one does not influence the other's sleep when rolling over during the night. Also the bumpy mattress transmits any movement to the other. - We were three persons hence we could distribute ourselves so that everyone had its mattress and thus deep sleep.

Hello Samuel, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that everything from communication to check-out went smoothly.

This place is awesome you can walk right to Cambridge no need for a car. The parking instructions are really good it is a video showing you exactly where to go to park in your private parking space.
