Clean, comfortable, and perfect for a visit to Harvard or Cambridge more generally.
Pros:

Ben's place was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The shareable food and snacks that he encouraged guests to partake are above and beyond the call. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom with another guest, this is definitely your place.

Cons:

Shared bathroom, although this is very clear at the time of booking. (And my fellow guest was very considerate.)

Pros:

Todo, el trato muy bueno, la limpieza. Todo

Cons:

El inquilino de la otra recamara no era muy respetuoso con sus ruidos pero eso no es problema del dueño

Pros:

I felt safe, the room was more than I expected, very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The location, it is close to Harvard, if you are looking to explore the area early morning this is the best place to stay.

Perfect quaint Cambridge stay
Pros:

Everything! It was very clean and tidy with so much food to share and plenty of space to cook and multiple options for areas to work from home! The bed was also comfy! The location also couldn’t be better - a short walk to multiple restaurants, Harvard yard, the T, and the ymca!

Lækkert sted og god service. En vidunderlig oplevelse.
Pros:

Beliggenhed.
Velholdt sted og stort værelse.
Positiv og professionel vært.

Cons:

Jeg var meget meget glad for mit ophold. Jeg var der en uge og det var perfekt. Hvis jeg skal nævne en lille ting så er det at brusekabine gulv samt vask kunne rengøres undervejs når man er der en hel uge. Men igen et meget lækkert sted og alt skinner og der er gjort alt for et godt ophold.

Pros:

とても楽しい滞在でした。最初は勝手がよくわからなかったのですが、後半は、キッチンでのお料理も楽しませていただきました。ハウスキーバーさんが定期的に訪問されて、掃除や、冷蔵庫の整理をしていてくれているので、女性一人でも楽しく滞在できます。また機会があったらよろしくお願いいたします。

Amazing location!
Pros:

Ben’s place was great! We rented a room on a floor with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a kitchen and living room. The bathroom, kitchen and living area were shared with the renter of the other bedroom. The place was tidy and had lots of amenities (snacks, toiletries etc). Ben lives upstairs and uses the kitchen as well. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great place!

Pros:

The place is in good location in Cambridge being not far from restaurants and the red line while still being on a quiet street. The owner is very nice.

Cons:

Not necessarily bad, but good to know: you'll be in a bedroom right across from another that could be rented out by other travelers.
