    Janet was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the neighborhood. Any questions we had she was more than willing to answer and kept in touch with updates. The house was clean and stocked with everything you can imagine you’d need during a stay for dining in and the location was fabulous for dining out options. The outdoor living section was breathtaking! My family and I felt so at ease and loved our stay. The whole experience of being in Cambridge was a step back to better days. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your home!
