1 NIght in Cambridge
The house was indeed tranquil and very clean. It included parking and was relatively convenient for our planned outing in Cambridge and our trip to the airport the next morning. The room was quite small, but the shared bathroom was convenient and clean. Before arriving, we received an email from the property informing us that check-in time would be 2 pm, but when we arrived a few minutes before 4 pm, we were informed that we could not enter until 4 (ultimately we got in a few minutes after 4).

The little hidden Gem of Cambridge.
The place was excellent in every category. One recommendation I would make is TV in each room because nowadays it difficult for different guests to watch the same programs. Overall l love the place and every time I visit Cambridge which is going to be several times, I will stay there. Excellent. Tab.

Limited Privacy
We were greeted by the owner/manager who was friendly, helpful and informative. The biggest downside to the Kitty house was 1) residential parking on the street with no sense of security other than the neighborhood appeared to be quiet and 2) the bathroom, kitchen and living room are in common with two other rooms. Fortunately the other tenants were quiet and friendly, but, if you value your privacy, this is not for you.

This is a nice, friendly place close to Fresh Pond and Mt Auburn Cemetery, about 35 minutes' walk from Harvard Square (or a short uber). The host was very gracious and the space was clean and comfortable.
