What a great host. I booked this and it was last minute. Great communication. I had a significant event happen where I was not going to be able to stay and the host graciously worked with me on a resolution. They did not have to do this but did so out of the kindness of their heart. I really appreciated their efforts. When I am back in the area I hope to stay here. It will also be a place I recommend to others. Thanks again.

Late August 2017 my sister and I spent 4 days at Kitty's House while attending "Move in day" of my son at Harvard. This was my 1st time in the area (I am from CA and my sister lives in Europe). It was vital that Kitty and her husband explained to us "where is what and how to get there". The house itself was absolutely immaculate and air conditioned (as was essential in the heat wave that we came across during our stay). The bed sheet were of the highest count! The set of the house gives a lot of privacy and the kitchen/dining area is well stocked with tea and snacks and all essentials for your own meal preparation. The great hospitality, the cleanness and attention to details that made our stay so pleasant makes Kitty's house - the house I will definitely come back to. Thank you Kitty! - Aggie P.

Kitty’s house was perfect for our family! Kitty is quick to respond and very helpful. The apartment is a large three bedroom, one bath, with a lot of light, on the first floor of the house. It also has a fourth room with a single bed. The kitchen has granite countertops and has good keurig coffee. The furniture is older and it is not a modern styled home, but the home is very clean and the furniture is very comfortable. Beds and pillows are good, body wash and shampoo/ conditioner are higher end. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood. You will need a car or use Uber, but with the money you will save on Kitty’s house you will still come out ahead! It is a quick car/ Uber ride to Harvard Square. Highly recommend and we will be back!
