Location and Price Can't be Beat!
What a great location close to Harvard and public transit. Bus stop out fron (71/73) or a 15-20 minute walk to Harvard Station (red line). THE View of the Charles River from bedrooms was a bonus. Yes, the building and apartment are outdated a bit run-down, but it was SAFE and it was CONVENIENT and CLEAN.
The livingroom is a small seperate room with a futon and a door that can be closed for privacy. It pretty much was my son's room during our stay. We hung out at the small table in the kitchen. We didn't prepare any foods but there were a few pots and pans and a stove and microwave. We did take use of the two small fridges to store beverages and leftovers and snacks.
Yes, you do hear the traffic along a busy street so this is not tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Bring earplugs or a white noise machine if that would bother you. Its a BIG CITY so it didn't bother us. Did I mention the great location!!!
The cleaners use a strongly-scented fabric softener so expect to have really clean smelling linen and towels. There is no washing machine in unit. The heaters in each room work well. It was cold during our visit so can't speak to the window ACs. Beds are foam and big soft comforters are provided in the bedroom closets, if needed. Kurig and coffee pods were laid out for us, although we didn't use them. Shampoo and conditioner was also provided.
We enjoyed our affordable, cozy but short stay amongst the multi-million dollar houses with the million dollar view! Thanks!
