The apartment is in a quite street, but close to everything. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The apartment itself is in great condition and is quite cozy. It is a real find.

This is a very nice apartment- super clean, well appointed and in a very nice neighborhood. Central Square is just a short walk away with tons of stores/restaurants/T-stop.

one of the most hospitable hosts we've had the pleasure of working with! they were ultra responsive , accommodating, and helpful. they clearly take pride in their home and role as hosts, making sure that their guests are comfortable and feel "at home". the home itself was as described/photoed, super clean and well stocked. we traveled with our young toddler and found the unit fairly baby-proofed/relatively easy to baby-proof. just a note that the unit is located on the second floor through a fairly narrow and shallow-stepped staircase, which makes strollers a bit of a hassle. that said, if you have a car, would recommend leaving the stroller in the trunk as the parking is right around the back and very convenient. the apartment is in a great location (close to central). would absolutely recommend and stay again if the occasion arose.

What a great place! The location is amazing. It is right in the heart of Cambridge, walkable to so many things, and also with easy parking. We shopped at Whole Foods a few blocks away. The apartment is super comfortable, clean, and well decorated. I also accidentally left a charger behind and they offered to mail it to me - so thoughtful. The street is quiet and beautiful. I will definitely stay here again when I come to Boston.

This was one of the best places that I have stayed in. Everything was spotlessly clean, the kitchen had everything you would need to make dinner or breakfast and the beds very comfortable. I would recommend staying here for anyone visiting Cambridge for work or play. The neighborhood was very safe and quiet but close to the shops and restaurants.

My two teens and I had a great stay here while in town visiting Harvard and MIT, both of which are less than a mile away from here. The unit was very clean and comfortable with enough space to make a movie night comfortable and breakfast every morning a treat! Blake was extremely helpful, offering recommendations and being flexible and getting back to me extremely quickly. While we were close to everything our street was quiet and we always felt safe walking around at night. All in all a really great stay!

Lia’s place was a perfect place for our girls’ weekend getaway. Apartment was very well laid out, comfortable, and clean. Lia was responsive and friendly. The location is perfect— a 5 minute walk to central square. Highly recommend her place and will book here when I visit Cambridge again.

Nicely furnished apt within walking distance of Harvard, MIT, and the train station. We had everything we needed and it was just as described. Our family of four had a lovely stay.

A wonderful find! Blake & Mia were helpful, responsive, and kind. Apartment is in a prime location close to Central, and was perfect for our plans. We'll for sure stay here in the future!
