Our sunny condo is on the 3rd floor (walk up, no elevator), has a LR, DR, bathroom with shower and tub, a kids room with a loft bed and toys (and hamsters), a bedroom with a new queen bed, and another bedroom that has been turned into a work from home office. That room has a couch that converts to a bed, if needed. There is an in-unit full size washer and dryer. Window air conditioners in each room in case it gets hot during your stay. Very nice and cozy warm in the winter. All linens and towels provided. The living room has a stereo, TV, record player, DVD, and HDMI cable so you can bring your own streaming services. Pantry and fridge have staple items in them. The hydroponic system is usually growing all kinds of vegetables, herbs, and fruits for you to harvest for your meals. There are board games and books available to borrow. One bike available, family bikes may be available. This is an ideal location to explore the cities of Cambridge and Boston - walkable to Harvard, MIT, and Boston University in 15-20 min. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are a 5-minute walk or less, as is a Walgreen's pharmacy. Coffee shops, historical places, beautiful river views, parks, playgrounds and restaurants are all minutes away! The Red Line train is a 10 minute walk, and you can be downtown at the Boston Common in 30 minutes. Our neighborhood has little tree-lined streets and charming houses, so it's a lot of fun to walk around. It is very safe.
