Google, Hotels.com, and a number of other sites all displayed availability here at 9:45PM. I booked a room immediately, received a confirmation email, and arrived at the property around 10:10.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The house was tidy but not clean. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. This is a room in a house that shares the bathroom and kitchen with other guests, but there was no way to lock the room. There was no room service or cleaning of any kind. I was given one towel and one washcloth for the week. I do not recommend staying here.

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).
