Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"I have been waiting to stay at one of these properties the Wynn or encore. I was so impressed and floored, the room was perfect the view was spectacular I didn’t want to leave the room. The gym was great with amazing machines. I was really impressed with the hospitality I can’t wait to stay at another."

Cambridge Common House

10/10 Excellent

"Well located close to harvard square, very clean, quiet, cozy and very welcoming staff and entire experience; rooms with the little patios are excellent; breakfast looked excellent ( but could not enjoy as i had meetings outside every day before 8am, when breakfast starts)"

Hotel 1868

10/10 Excellent

"One the best hotels to stay"

Hotel Veritas

8/10 Good

"Good location, very clean."

Beacon Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"all good"

Cozy 4BR Home by Tufts w/ Subway Access to Downtown, MIT, Harvard + Free Parking

8/10 Good

"Pros:Quiet neighborhood.The house had the basic essentials needed for a comfortable stay.A driveway was available for parking, so parking was never an issue.The host was very responsive and friendly.Beds and indoor temp were comfortable.Cons:The driveway was very narrow, and the large shrub at the entrance made parking difficult, especially when backing in. The branches also scratched the side of the car each time we parked.The listing did not clearly state that the unit was on the second floor. There were instructions to be mindful of the first-floor neighbors, including quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and gentle footfalls. This was difficult because the house is very old and the floors creak loudly throughout, even with careful walking.An older review mentioned that the dishwasher was not working, there were no oven mitts or dish towels, and there were small sharp nails near the floor of one bedroom doorway. When we stayed there, those issues had still not been addressed.The cookware was limited. There was one large pot with a lid, one smaller pot without a lid, and two nonstick pans with significant wear to the coating.The reason I did not give fewer stars was because the owner was extremely communicative and timely in his responses. When I asked if the tap water was potable, he recommended that we don't drink it and then he went out of his way to get us bottled water. That makes a huge difference when you are staying at a vacation rental."
