Central air and ceiling fans make for a comfortable apartment during hot summer months. You will feel like you are a local as all the neighbors are very friendly.

There are alot of great restaurants, shops, yoga studios, hair salon, spin studio and much more within walking distance of the apartment. street parking is available with the use of the visitor pass which will be provided for you. We are situated between Harvard and MIT making the location very convenient for those who will be visiting the Universities and very accessible to the subway for easy access to Boston. We are only a couple blocks from the Charles River which makes for a nice early morning walk/run or perhaps a stroll after a meal. Also located by the river are the Hubway rental bikes.

Great Apartment
The property was spotless and had everything you could need. It was a short walk to subway into Boston and local restaurants/shops were great. Leigh answered any questions quickly and provided all the info we needed. Thank you!

Amazing apartment in sleepy residential neighbourhood!
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment for a week. It's very well equipped and perfectly located for exploring Cambridge, Boston centre and Harvard. There are lots of little restaurants and bars nearby and also cooking facilities at the accommodation. The subway is a 10-15 min walk and in just a few stops you reach Boston Common. The neighbourhood was very quiet at nighttime and we really liked the style of the buildings. A/C very efficient on hot days. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. Our only issue was with getting the lock box back onto the wall but Leigh (the owner) was very helpful in giving advice so we soon had it sorted.

Exactly What We needed
We were in town for our 16 year old daughter to tour colleges. We also had our twelve year old son with us. Having a room with two twin beds was great for the kids, and having the extra half bath was really helpful when we were all trying to get ready to go out. We were concerned that parking would be difficult, but it wasn't- we were always able to find a parking spot on the street.

Great Cambridge apartment
This was the perfect size for 2 people. Very clean, good amenities (bathrooms had fans!) and excellent location to reach Central Square and Harvard Square. Very convenient to the T as well.

Cozy in Cambridge
Quiet, clean and comfortable apartment in a perfect location. Leigh provided quality essentials (like coffee) to get us started on the right foot. We would happily stay here again.

This is a family home that my grandmother and grandfather bought back in the late 20's. We are very proud of the fact that we are 4 generations strong. I lived here for 15 years while studying and working. I just love this area and enjoy coming back every so often. We hope that you will enjoy the area as much as we do.
