About this property

Charming Private Studio in Top Location: Steps to Harvard


New to Vrbo--"Guest Favorite" and "Superhost" on a different platform for more than 3 years!

Charming studio in one of the prettiest, most vibrant, and best connected areas of Cambridge. Practically on campus: walk to Harvard yard (5 min) or MIT (15 min). The cozy interior opens up to a delightful back porch for reading or enjoying fresh air. Thoughtfully appointed with its own private bathroom w/tub, smart TV, space for dining/studying, and a kitchenette with stove w/oven, mini fridge, toaster, microwave, espresso machine, dishes/cutlery, and everything else you might need for a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

3 minutes to #1 bus stop (takes you to Boston in 10 min.), and 7 minutes to subway (Red Line Harvard Square).

Walk score 95: Walker's paradise--Daily errands do not require a car :)
Bike score: 93: Biker's paradise--Daily errands can be accomplished on a bike :)

The space
The studio is in a Cambridge classic brick townhouse designed by architecture firm Bell and Fandetti, a staple of modern architecture in the city. The garden-level studio is quiet, tastefully furnished, and a perfect place from which to experience life in Cambridge just like a local.

Guest access
The studio shares a main entrance with owner-occupied single-family townhouse, with its separate private access immediately after entry. The back porch is there for exclusive use of the studio, beyond which is a shared small patio/back yard. The quiet and comfortable space provides a great base from which to explore Harvard Square, Cambridge, and Boston.
