Great place ! 10 minutes from Harvard, not expensive. If ya want the Ritz, spend the money. Otherwise this place is bigger that in the pictures, very spacious. Easy check in. Yes its up a flight of steps. open the first door with a keycode and the steps lead directly to the apartment. Big kitchen, clean , comfy. Yes, the beds are hard. Its not like its a cheap mattress , it just seems like its super ultra firm. But hey, its a great price, 10 minutes from Cambridge. Yeah the parking spot is small, I never used it. There was plenty of parking on the street, I parked directly in front of the door. I was actually closer and easier than the provided spot. It's a good family who rents the unit, I think they live downstairs. I would definitely stay again :)

The apartment was nice, appeared exaclty like the pictures. It was easy getting to and from downtown Boston.

It is a safe neighborhood. Host was very responsive

Mattresses are firm. Pillows were thick and hard like throw pillows on a sofa. Arrived too late to fix, and it made the first night difficult to sleep. Host did not seem to want to remedy this and made excuses, then asked us to go a second night with the firm pillows. They eventually delivered some softer but cheap pillows after we insisted. Other than that, the place was good.
