About this property

Boutique Porter Square home / 1 stop from Harvard

  • Tucked away on a quiet private road just 8 minutes from Porter Square station, this stylish home feels calm and connected at once. 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.

    **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.

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.

If I could give this property a ten star rating, I definitely would! My family and I found the rooms to be quite spacious and very clean. The wood floors were beautifully stained and the appliances were very modern. I almost forgot to mention how comfortable the beds were. I thought I was sleeping on a cloud! This home felt like the "intersection" of Victorian charm and modern day luxury. On top of that, the home was well furnished with tissue, paper towels, and cleaning supplies.The property was located within easy walking distance of Porter Square. The square had restaurants, a CVS, Target, a clinic, and pretty much anything else that a family would need. Moreover, the property was very close to the T and other modes of public transportation. The best part of the property was the hospitality from the hosts, Elise and Sid. The hosts made us truly feel like family. Elise sent a list of restaurants that were nearby. Moreover, she sent us some baked goods one evening. Furthermore, Elise and Sid gave us their personal numbers in the event of an emergency. I HIGHLY recommend staying at this property. The home "is as advertised" on the homepage. It is a beautifully maintained home and the hosts are equally as charming. My family and I could tell that a lot of time and effort is committed in maintaining the home.
