Summary: This rental was not as pictured. The building is old, and the unit is up three flights of stairs. It was over 90°F when we arrived, and instead of central AC (as implied), there were portable AC units in every room. They were loud, inefficient, and couldn’t keep the unit cool. The living room AC had a homemade hose setup that ended up leaking all over the kitchen we had to clean it with the limited towels provided (only five total, including just one small hand towel for the bathroom). There were no cleaning supplies or paper towels, and overall the unit felt unclean and worn down. The “water view” was almost entirely blocked by trees. This was my first trip to Boston and, unfortunately, it started off on the wrong foot. I wouldn’t recommend this rental. Thankfully, the rest of our trip was at another property Also host provided us entry instruction just under an hour before we arrived and I had to ask them for it… Not my usual rental experience.

Summary: 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.

Summary: Property was in a great location, but definitely has seen better days. It would suffice for younger crowds coming to visit their friends in Cambridge. The stairs to walk up are not the easiest for anyone who has minor challenges with stairs. The door opens toward the stairs, making it challenging to unlock and enter if your hands are full. The electronic lock is finicky, and at one point it locked us out due to too many retries. We were simply trying to activate the keypad to enter the code. Luckily, someone from our party was in the unit and we woke them up to let us in. The most concerning thing about the lock was we had no idea how long we’d have to wait until we could retry the code once we were locked out of using the keypad. Didn’t feel comfortable parking in the drive, as it’s a tandem spot and you have to coordinate with other tenants if anyone needs to move. Street parking requires a permit, except on weekends and evenings. Kitchen wasn’t filthy, but there were spots that had a decent amount of dust buildup. One of the beds had a frame that was too big, and a piece of metal stuck out that one of our party had a rather unfortunate encounter with. I dunno how that hasn’t been an issue previously. The paper shades were fastened up with some sort of chip clips that were at their max being only halfway up. This was a nuisance. Walkability was really good, short distance to Harvard square and the metro station.

Summary: Fantastic location. A lovely stay.
