Sep 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A lovely, comfortable place and spotlessly clean. The location is great though noisy (Cambridge Sanitation rolls out the heavy metal around 0700). There was a plumbing problem, but the owner's communication was excellent. ##### Ellen B.
