Clean; comfortable; and well-equipped
Mark's place was clean; more spacious than photos showed; allows for multiple cars to park in a line; in a neighborhood very close walk to lovely Fresh Pond loop. Hard to find 5 bedroom places with full and queen beds in this area and this was perfect. Mark also went out of his way to assist at one point. Really helpful.

Great space
The property was a perfect spot for us. It had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable & the location was great! Walking distance to a grocery store (which by the way has wine, beer & liquor!), a great bakery/cafe & a delicious local restaurant. We would definitely stay here again when we are back in town for The Head of The Charles Regatta. You do have to be able to walk up steps as this is the upstairs unit of a duplex, but it is a great space

Adrian I., Novato, CA

Handled all 7 of us!
Visited for 6 days for BC graduation. We used 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Nice section of Cambridge. Beds were comfortable but lacked top sheets. TV was big. Keurig coffee maker was a savior. Clean older house. Some creaky floors added to charm but may not be for everyone. Kitty and Mark are very responsive owners and we would definitely rent from them again.

Great space for friends and family
Kitty was the best host! The place has plenty of room. Great kitchen and family table. We thoroughly enjoyed the place. Close to Sofra (best Med food ever) and easy 30min walk or bus (#73) to the river and Cambridge. Wonderful!!

Great owners, great property, and close to transportation.
The house was very comfortable and roomy for our family of seven. Kitty and her husband are terrific and were very helpful to us newcomers to the Boston area. They helped make our first trip to Boston a success. I give them and their beautiful home five stars.

Excellent
This home is perfect for any family to enjoy. The owners were very helpful and live just next door so if you need anything at all it was very easy to obtain. The home was extremely well maintained, and a couple block walk from star market and a few restaurants, and very close my family's home walking along fresh pond. I would highly recommend staying here for a few days or a week, whatever the time needs are.

Beautiful!!
Everything was fabulous and the owners were very accommodating! They even made us cookies! They were able to be reached by text easily. The house was beautiful as perfect for our 8 person family. The ONLY con was that if you are looking to cook, you may need to bring some supplies. We needed a cheese shredder, a cutting board, and a mixing bowl atleast. They do have pans and spatulas, and place settings for 8 however. Just plan accordingly! Overall, everything was Great!

Beautiful,clean,cozy and state of the art service from the landlord.
The house is cozy,exquisitely decorated giving you the warmth of home. I must add bedrooms are big and have heater as well as A/C . Bathrooms with shampoo ,conditioner,,body wash and hair dryer. Kitty ,the owner personally came to greet us and asked if there was anything else she could do for us. She is an amazing person that will go beyond your expectations.and definetely knows how to make a guest happy. Tte house itself is very well located. When going to Cambridge make sure this house is available! Thank you Kitty. Pamela

Great place!
This property was very comfortable. Plenty of fans and air conditioners in each room. Nice having the laundry center. Very clean and spacious. The owner was responsive. Parking in the driveway is limited and you share with the other unit in the house. If available, I recommend parking on the street. We would definitely consider staying there again if in town!

Great spot in Cambridge.
Our family (and another) were visiting colleges in Boston for our sons. We found this property and booked right away based on great reviews. We were not disappointed. The property owner Kitty was a great host and attentive to our needs. The house is in a great spot, a quick Uber ride to downtown Boston. The place was clean, quiet and a joy to stay at. Needless to say if our son chooses a school in Boston for college, we know where we will stay when we are visiting him. Fred R.
