Our 3 night stay was absolutely perfect for our family of six! As a native of the area I was thrilled to be able to come back to my home town and stay right in the heart of downtown Cambridge. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance and great views of downtown. The space was great, comfortable beds, and modern updates. Our host Jen was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!
Our grandparents are interned at the Old Trinity Church in Woolford. When our mother passed away we decided to lay her to rest there also. I looked for a place that the 5 of us would be comfortable. I was not disappointed. The condo was beautiful. We had all the creature comforts of home. Beds were comfortable, place was clean and parking was perfect. We will definitely use this place again.
Third floor walk up that makes quite an impression when you open the door. Very high ceilings in an open concept living space which makes it feel so grand when in it. The massive doors have stunning brass fittings and trim which I have never seen before. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed. The beds comfy Towels fresh and soft. Massive windows add to the openness of the space. Everything is walking distance to the charming town center. Parking is included. We would definitely book again if the opportunity arises. This time we were in for a wedding and it was perfect for that
It was great to walk to our dinner location at Portside Seafood Restaurant! It was really good there!!! Everything was clean at the apartment. But it was extremely loud at night. Loud people, music and cars.
Beautiful property within walking distance of multiple restaurants. Came here for the half Ironman and it was great to be close to the venue. The church bell did ring several times through the night which didn wake me up. Will definitely stay here again!
Had a wonderful stay. The apartment is gorgeous! Getting in was a little bit of a challenge - the key was hard to get out and it was dark and pouring rain. But once we got in everything else was great.
I surprised my husband by whisking him off for a Valentine's Day of fun at RAR brewery with two of our best friends from college - and then we walked down the street to stay at the beautiful Drinking Gourd. Such a lovely place. HUGE high ceilings and wonderful old doors, mixed with all the modern conveniences we needed for a night. Loved it.
