Visiting Boston
I stayed for 3 days to visit my daughter in Harvard and my son, 10th grade had a plan visiting other colleges in Boston. We really enjoyed staying there; close to Harvard square, everything that I needed, and very clean. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Boston.

A relaxing space during a difficult time
I sought a pet-friendly haven during a week-long visit to Cambridge. The purpose of my visit was to attend a funeral, so having a place where I could relax alone in the evenings was important. The studio is cozy, and perfectly suited my needs: a comfortable bed and a desk, windows looking out onto trees, a bathroom with a shower massage, and a small but practical kitchen where I prepared myself all kinds of meals in the morning and evening. Being vegan, it meant a great deal to know I did not have to scrounge around for food I could eat. Other reviewers have noted that the street the studio overlooks is a busy one, and this is true. There is a constant whooshing of traffic, but not much in the way of sirens or honking. I found it did not disturb my sleep or composure at all. And I will add that this is generally the price of convenience: I was a five-minute walk from Fresh Pond Park, where my dog delighted to run, where I had pleasure birdwatching and chatting with other dog walkers; I was a short drive from Boston proper, but also from the funeral home, a coffee shop, and a grocery. The easiness of my stay made the sound of wheels on the street a story below irrelevant. The host lives in the house, and I spoke with him twice, just to say hello. He was friendly and asked if I was comfortable or needed anything. It was good to know there were others nearby I could call on in case of a problem. I highly recommend the host and the studio.
