    Great home base to explore Boston, Cambridge and Lexington. There’s parking! (Rare in this area) close to public transport and very Uber accessible. Walking distance to many things! Home away from home because it has all the amenities we needed to be comfortable - us w/ 3 adult children and 1 grandchild. Fully equipped kitchen, nice, big living and dining areas. Quick, friendly reply from owner when we had questions. Overall, we enjoyed this house and location. Highly recommended and we will be back! Thanks Lynne

    We very much enjoyed staying at this home in Cambridge. The location was perfect. Very walkable to local restaurants, the science museum, the subway station, and downtown Boston. The house was clean and spacious with plenty of room for all 6 of our guests. We would absolutely stay here again if we found ourselves in the area again!

    Cannot say enough wonderful things about our week long stay at this home. Fabulous piece of history in this impeccably maintained 1844 Greek Revival infused with modern conveniences. I traveled here with my family, including 4 WFH adults who all had private desk areas to use. Everyone was happy!! The kitchen was modernized and well appointed, the common areas were spacious and comfortable, the bathrooms had everything we needed (even a steam shower) and the bedrooms with super comfortable bedding were a welcome comfort at the end of long walking days. The upstairs suite is an extra special delight, like we were staying in Sweden. The back porch is delightful, and the front porch was lovely to sit and watch the storms roll in. Lynne was incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our questions and needs. Thanks again for a wonderful week!!!! Xo

    The property and Lynne exceeded all expectations. The house was a home away from home with everything we needed for a two week stay without a car. The location was fantastic - walking distance to a supermarket, restaurants for breakfast, dinner or just a quick coffee. The property was close to central Boston, but also quiet so we could unwind sipping gin and tonic on the terrace. We got Ubers everywhere to go to museums, aquarium, MIT, Harvard (although Museum of Science is just a few blocks away), for trips to see the whales, for walks along the coast, visit family and later to head down to Cape Cod. The house was also a short drive away from Harvard Square to visit my son at the summer school. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Lynne.

    This property is in the perfect location and just as pictured with great living space and bedrooms. We were there for a graduation with family staying with us and more in town and it was a perfect place to hang out with everyone. The owner was very responsive and helpful.

    Quaint revival with great beds and fully stocked. T is 4 blocks away. Construction noise was a bit annoying during the week but that’s progress I suppose.

    Spacious, comfortable house in East Cambridge made for a perfect home base during our recent trip to Boston. The house was just as it appeared in the photos. The beds were very comfortable, everything was neat and clean, the kitchen was extremely well stocked and check-in and out was a breeze. An excellent place to stay and I would happily return to it if I ever find myself in Boston again.

    We recently stayed at this property for a spring break trip to Boston. Although I would recommend going to Boston when it is a bit warmer and the duck boat tours are running, this house provided a great place for our family to hang out when we needed to warm up from the chilly air. Many restaurants were within walking distance, and it wasn’t far from the nearest MBTA stop. We loved the 3rd floor master suite (FYI the stairs to the 3rd floor are pretty steep), which has a small sitting room that was perfect to entertain the little kids before the rest of the house woke up. With the kids and grandparents with us, it was nice to have a big dining table for us all to eat takeout from one of the local restaurants, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We road-tripped to Boston, so it was great to have a dedicated parking spot. The host was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in this piece of Boston history and hope to come back someday!
