Spacious, bright, modern and plenty of light. Amazing top floor apartment in Central Square. Completely furnished apartment has all new appliances, washer/dryer, porch, hardwood floors with breakfast area, High-def TV and plenty of space. 5 min walk to Central Square T-stop near both Harvard and MIT (red line train). Private bedroom available in 3 bedroom place with very nice futon, desk, mirror, alarm clock. I typically work from 9am-7pm so, although I can be somewhat flexible, but please try not to check-in/checkout between 9am-7pm on weekdays. Weekends are much more flexible. Although I enjoy a nice cigar every once in a while there is no smoking in the place.

Also, please fill out your profile before sending a request (including a picture....of your face) and contact me before sending a booking request just to make sure everything works great for both of us. I will not accept bookings if we haven't discussed your travel plans. Please no bookings for friends and family members. Simply have them contact me directly. I have had multiple bad experiences when I haven't been able to communicate directly with potential guests before booking. The culture of Airbnb is a relaxed, fun, flexible way to travel and stay with local people, but is not simply a cheap hotel. If you are open to being respectful of me, my place and schedule please don't hesitate to contact me. I love meeting new people from around the world.

  • Doug's place is super clean, spacious, and a short walk to the T. Doug himself is a very accommodating and chill host!

    This apartment is great. The room was bright and ample. The living space was really nice. And Doug was an excellent host. Available on the phone and email. The communication was very fluid. Not a bad walk to the MIT campus, and lots of good food and bars nearby.

  • Great apartment—large, clean, bright and quiet. Guest room is comfortable. Perfect location for visiting MIT or Harvard. Doug was a perfect host, quick to reply to emails and easy-going. I'll definitely stay here again if I'm back in Cambridge.

  • I had a perfect stay at Doug's place. It lies in a nice neighborhood and I was able to walk to the MIT in 15 minutes. The room had all the comfort I needed and Doug was helpful and acted professionally when I accidentally broke something. I can only recommend this place.

  • We cannot thank Doug enough for making our first Airbnb experience a very enjoyable one. Doug is very easy-going and made us feel instantly at ease! He was also very knowledgable about Boston and gave us very useful tips for visiting during our 3 days. He also made us discover some nice American cheese which we loved ( we are from France) along with some nice American wines. As a side note, Doug makes great carrot soup! His place is in a perfect location for visits, right between Harvard. And MIT. There is a tube stop and numerous shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes. The red T line is most practical to go into Boston within minutes. Thanks again Doug and do let us know when you're in Paris!

    This was my first experience using airbnb and I'm pleased to say that it was better than i had expected. Doug was the perfect host, welcoming, friendly and just really down to earth. The apartment is really spacious and the room has everything you could need. The location is awesome, just a few minutes stroll from the T station and in a really cool neighbourhood. I would definitely recommend staying with Doug and if i return to Boston he will be the first person i call!

  • Doug is the bomb!! Perfect Host. Very fast communicator. His place is clean. Very close to everything you could possibly want in the Boston area. 3 thumbs up. definitely look forward to cruising back there and crashing at his place as well as having him journey West and stay with my at my place in Hollywood. Bueno all the way around. Doug rocks!!!

  • GREAT location. Clean, nice apartment. Doug was very friendly. I recommend this place.

  • It was great to stay at Doug's place. The apartment is nicer that what one can see in the pictures and Doug is extremely friendly and helpful. He also invited me to go out with him and his friends. I had a great time. Thanks Doug!!

  • The apt is spacious, modern, and clean. Nice bathroom with a good shower. The room provided has a comfortable bed, desk, and a/c. There is subway station a few minutes away and a Whole Foods even closer. Doug is a real nice guy – friendly, hospitable, and considerate. I certainly recommend his place and would stay there again.
