房間還可以，預訂的時候沒有仔細看，到了地方發現是民宿，位置較好，處於麻省和哈佛大學中間，去哪都方便。

Nice room with free parking and small breakfast available. The room could be cleaner, I’ve found hair in the shower but everything else was good!

We love this place so much that you will need to come here to experience yourself. Warm hospitality, cozy vibes, free snacks, fruits, tea and coffee and a well functioning kitchen to cook light meals. Quiet neighborhood and lovely view from the window. Bird singing to wake you up and you can chill all day in the house if you don’t have plans lol.
Nancy中英都能溝通，在這裡留宿三晚受到她暖暖的款待，鄉村風格的擺設和設計相當有溫暖，來這裡會想要一直拍照，如果是春天來，風景應該會更漂亮！位於哈佛和MIT中間位置，走路皆能抵達，附近商店餐廳選擇多，下次若還來出差或是觀光，優先選擇這裡！

I came to the United States to look at universities and happened to stay here. It is close to Harvard. The houses in the neighborhood are boldly colored and simple in structure. I took photos of them all and had fun going in and out every day.

It was comfortable. Some things I would have liked:
- more towels (e.g. hand towel & wash cloth); and disposable hand towels in the shared bathroom.
- a fan in the bathroom (I was swetting after I finished drying my hair; I have a small fan in my own bathroom, and it really helps!)
Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay; wish it could have been longer.
