My brother and I brought our families (4 adults, 3 teens and a tween) to Cambridge to celebrate Thanksgiving and we stayed 5 nights at the Cosmo residence. The residence was charming, comfortable and clean, as well as being well-provisioned and in full working order. The kitchen and dining room allowed for a perfect Thanksgiving celebration and the wi-fi and cable pacified the children. The locale (walking distance from Harvard and the Charles) was ideal for accessing both public transportation, as well as the main highways. Vera, our cordial host, was very attentive and responsive to our needs. If you are looking for a high-end residence and location with abundant local appeal, then the Cosmo is for you. We would definitely stay there again if our travels take us back to Boston.

We had a wonderful experience in this home. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. Our group was attending a conference at Harvard and were able to stroll through the gorgeous historic neighborhood on our walk to campus. Located in a quiet part of Cambridge and within walking distance of Harvard, great restaurants, as well as the subway line. The home itself is beautiful and spacious. I’d give more than five stars if I could!

Our family traveled to Boston to see fall foliage. This property made our trip even better. The property is as described in the listing. Vera is so helpful and we had everything we needed at the beautiful mansion for a family of 8. The kitchen is more than adequately stocked than most rentals and had both Keurig and French press for coffee. The main floor half bath was great too. We appreciated the extras in the bathrooms as well. It was surprisingly quiet at night for being within walking distance of town. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back. Thank you Vera for your lovely hospitality. ❤️
