Step outside and you’ll find cafés, restaurants, and city life within minutes — yet inside, it’s a quiet and warm sanctuary among the trees. This listing is new, but rest assured I'm an experienced VRBO Premier Host who has created memorable stays for my guests over many years. Some details such as furniture placement and decor may be different from the pictures. \*\*The space\*\* This unit occupies the ground floor of a classic Cambridge house. The main floor features an eat-in kitchen, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms (with king beds) framed by leafy windows. It’s a peaceful, bright space — wide windows, mature trees, and the kind of space you don’t often find this close to everything. \*\*Guest access\*\* Guests have full access to the entire unit with its own private entrance. We offer guests 1 visitor parking permit to use for street parking near the house. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - No on-site parking available ### Food and drink - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![In-room safe, desk, laptop workspace, iron/ironing board](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/900000/891000/890954/a91bf4fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SpringHill Suites by Marriott Boston Peabody Peabody - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly 7.8 Good 1,151 reviews £84 includes taxes & fees 30 Mar - 31 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-30&endDate=2026-03-31&selected=890954&PinnedHotelID=890954&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/20500/20459/b8b643ec.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Boston - Peabody by IHG Peabody - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant 7.2 Good 1,001 reviews £87 includes taxes & fees 23 Mar - 24 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-23&endDate=2026-03-24&selected=20459&PinnedHotelID=20459&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89400000/89399300/89399258/90b2a5a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Beverly Beverly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Microwave 8.4 Very good 412 reviews £77 includes taxes & fees 22 Mar - 23 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-22&endDate=2026-03-23&selected=89399258&PinnedHotelID=89399258&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40210000/40201100/40201037/w1276h849x4y3-cdf4ee2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Cabot Lodge Beverly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Housekeeping - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 325 reviews £108 includes taxes & fees 23 Mar - 24 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-23&endDate=2026-03-24&selected=40201037&PinnedHotelID=40201037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Presidential Penthouse, City View | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119680000/119672600/119672591/0c79118b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Daniella's Suites Peabody - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi £139 includes taxes & fees 23 Mar - 24 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-23&endDate=2026-03-24&selected=119672591&PinnedHotelID=119672591&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-26&endDate=2026-03-27&selected=125562655&PinnedHotelID=125562655&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=125562655,890954,20459,89399258,40201037) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

The apt was comfortable and extremely clean. ##### Elizabeth C. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian M. 27 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The apartment was charming, well appointed and a terrific location. Amidst the Nor’easter, our hosts were excellent checking on us to make sure we were ok (without being obtrusive). As we had an unexpected weather related delay in our return, the host worked with us to stay an additional night. I would absolutely stay there again. ##### Brian M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2026 ---
