Great location

This is a great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Cambridge. There are stairs, but it is so convenient.

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

Rhythms of the Water

. . . . entered the apartment and the neighborhood was not only friendly yet also beautiful. Really nice floors and balconies! I used televisions for education on YouTube and enjoyed the view as meditation.

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.
