    Very dark. Incredibly uncomfortable bed. Downstairs bathroom was locked and it wasn’t resolved. Not explained on Expedia listing but laundry isn’t in the apartment and has additional cost. You have to walk through one bedroom to reach the other, and to use the only bathroom - also not explained on Expedia.

    We loved our stay at this Cambridge spot. Walking distance to the red line, parks, shops, restaurants, and more. Street parking was easy, since our vehicle was larger for the off-street parking. Heat can be tricky in a “vertical railroad” style as we called it, but that’s just physics. Our kids were very cozy in the top floor bedroom. Sometimes you can hear neighbors up and down the steps, but I’m sure they heard us too. Having laundry on the premises is always a necessity for us. We would definitely stay again.

    The space was comfortable and having 4 floors offered space for our family. The third floor bedroom and top floor were well appointed and decorated. The location of the house was great. The basement and first floor were very cold when we arrived and the space heater didn’t seem to work which was a problem since it was 20 degrees outside We could not pull out the lower single ‘trundle bed’ on the top floor as the bed was blocked by the dresser. The property manager was quick to call the cleaning service to come over and move the dresser but then we discovered that the upper trundle bed was broken so the first night’s sleeping arrangements were problematic. The maintenance crew came early the next day and successfully repaired the bed and brought a powerful space heater to heat the living room area and to replace a very dusty air filter. The management company was were responsive and helpful.

    Very convenient location. Took subway everyday with kids, was just 5 mins walk to station, grocery and great food. 20 mins train ride away from Boston. Comfortable, had everything from extra towels, tv in all rooms to utensils. Only thing was lack of some basic spices and good coffee which I usually see in other stays. Not complaining but could enhance the experience. Overall extremely statisfied by the place and quick responses as well. Thank you

    First off, the management company was so responsive I could hardly believe it. They would respond to my messages within 10 minutes! Downside of the property were related to the physical structure of the building. We could hear people talking through the walls of the bedroom, not yelling, but talking. And the Tv/video games. We reached out to the management company and they got word to the people in that unit as they manage that one as well and it quieted down. I think the people were travelling from a different time zone so their schedule was off. I live in a free standing house so I'm not used to that. If you are a light sleeper you will need to have a white noise app going on your phone. Other inconvenience was that it was always at least 10 degrees colder on the first floor (kitchen and living room) over the second floor (bedroom). Basement level was even colder. Granted it was 20 degrees outside and this is common maybe for a townhome style of building, but we had to put on extra clothes to go downstairs.

    A well maintained property that we were able to make feel like home. Hosts were super responsive throughout our two-week stay and never hesitated to address anything that came up.

    This 4 story apartment worked great for our family with 3 kids ages 11 to 15. The location was perfect, being within easy walking distance to Cambridge restaurants and the red line. The hosts were very responsive when we had a minor WiFi issue (quickly resolved) and getting in the apt was easy. As mentioned in the description there is only one shower and to get to the top floor you need to walk through the ‘master bedroom’. Overall it was just as described and we would stay here again.
