Located within a short walk of the T that gets you anywhere in Cambridge, Brookline, and Boston. 5-minute walk to Tufts University. **Updated 2/23/25** We started hosting when AirBnB first launched, and the pics are from a pro photographer AirBnB offered as a complementary incentive to bring more hosts onboard. The only things that have changed since then are that we had twins, and there is minor evidence of that throughout the house.
