Great base of operations
The Harvard Room was perfect for our two-night stay close to downtown. The room was immaculate, quiet and newly furnished with everything we needed, right down to virtually unlimited coffee capsules. The owners made check-in extremely easy and answered questions quickly. Having a commuter rail station (Boston Landing) only a half-mile away was a big plus. The station for Fenway, Fine Arts Museum and other top Boston attractions was just one stop away. We're hoping to go back soon and continue discovering all Boston offers.

Perfect for what we needed
Check in process was very easy. There is a main code for the door leading to the entry of the two rental units and then a different code for the door to the room. Our code to the room didn't work but the owner responded within a few minutes with a different code. The laundry is right in the entryway to the two units and it was very nice to get to do a load of laundry. The room had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable with 4 nice pillows and plenty of towels were provided. Having parking was a huge perk! It is true what I read in some of the other reviews that you can hear people walking on the floor above the basement unit but honestly it wasn't bad. The walking started around 7 am and we were usually up and getting ready to go explore Boston anyway by that time. The neighborhood seemed safe with nice cars parked on the street, people jogging, and families walking with strollers.

We had a great stay here in this nicely decorated, clean room. The bed was soft and comfy with lots of pillows. There was everything we needed including toiletries in case we had forgotten something. The 10am checkout time was a little earlier than we would have liked but wouldn’t deter us from staying there again

The location was lovely, just what we wanted, close to attractions we wanted to see in Boston. Safe. Clean, A/C. My son loved that we could log onto our own Netflix when we were chilling at night. The Keurig was a nice touch. There were a couple personal items left in the desk from the person before us, I assume, and I think she didn't remember to log out of her Netflix, but that was minor. Overall really enjoyed our stay.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable! Communication with the owner was excellent. Great coffee shop close by. A bit of a walk to the train. The bus stop was closer. The only thing I would have desired was some outdoor space to sit in the morning/evening.

Lovely apartment.
This studio is lovely and perfect for 1-2 people, no more. On the other hand, the neighborhood is pretty sketchy. It's not terrible geographically speaking, as it's not far from the airport or BU, but that's where it ends. I was worried about walking around there by myself, even during the day. Brighton looks like it's fine for a couple, but not for a single woman.

Clean and bright!
We stayed for two evenings and found our room to be very clean. After a long day of travel it was nice to sink into the bed and relax. The bathroom was clean and everything worked well. Toiletries and coffee were a welcome touch. I took off one star because the pillows provided no support and I slept poorly because of it, but otherwise, everything was perfect. There are some nice bars and restaurants within close walking distance as well!

Perfect stay for a short visit
The drive to the property can raise questions about the location - I was a little uneasy as it feels like you’re on the outskirts of town. However, upon arrival, you realize that the property is extremely nice and safe. My boyfriend and I were there for a quick 2-night stay. Keep in mind you’re sharing the basement with another VRBO room (completely separated). The room was very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom is updated and also super nice. If you’re only there to sleep at night, it’s the perfect location! The hosts are extremely helpful and have great communication via the app. They let us keep our luggage in storage space after check out - very helpful and kind! Definitely recommend for a budget stay.

It's ok for a quick stay.
There's a child on the floor above that runs non-stop and the walls are paper thin. The internet was extremely slow/non existent at times. The parking situation is terrible. The sump pump is really loud and was constantly going off. I understand its purpose but when you're trying to sleep and a bunch of noise is going on, it's irritating. It comes down to, it was a clean bed/bathroom and that's about it. To me this items are outside of the owners reach for a quick fix therefore I did not bother him

Mis represented
First off, the neighborhood didn’t seem safe. Didn’t know my room was in a basement. When I got there, didn’t know there was another room for another person. There was common area, thought that was my space. I was in a room in a basement of a house. Felt very confined. Couldn’t do it. Didn’t like it at all. Stayed there 1 night of 3 and paid extra bucks to get a hotel room downtown Boston.

Clean Space + Comfy Bed
This was a nice property that was easy to access. The check-in process was smooth and contactless and once we got to the room we immediately noticed how clean everything was. The walls are fairly thin so you can hear flushing and some conversations from the room that is connected by the front foyer. Overall, it was a great stay. The bed is super comfy and the space is close to grocery stores and fairly close to bars/restaurants in Brighton & Allston.
