Convenient 4 story apartment in Cambridge

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.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

The property was as described in the listing. The host left excellent detailed instructions on how to get to the property from Logan via the train and local amenities. The property is a short walk from the train which eliminated the need for a car rental. My teens and I walked the neighborhood together and alone and felt completely safe. They also had a pre-filled Brita pitcher and ice cube tray which I appreciated. The mattresses and bedding were pretty comfy. Communication was easy and I had several last minute requests that were taken care of. I would stay again.

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.

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

Good location and large space

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.
