Flavio is a wonderful person and we're happy to have met him. But the "Great Room" is more than a bit of hyperbole. It is small, cold, with insufficient blankets and has no amenities: not even a mirror or a place to hang clothes. The bath could well be shared with three others! The room is overpriced by a factor of 3!
I stayed with Flavio when I had a meeting at MIT, and no luck finding something reasonably close for a reasonable rate.The apartment itself is fairly clean and comfortable. Keep in mind that it is shared by three grad students, so it has a lived-in feel. Flavio was very nice and accommodating, and very interesting to chat with. Overall I had a fine experience.
I had a last minute business trip to Boston and all hotels were either sold out or crazy expensive. That turned out to be my luck. Flavio's room was nice, quiet, easy to get to, has wifi and is not that far from a 7/11. I was only there for a short stay but I would easily come back for a longer stay. Flavio is a good host and showed me where to cook, wash my clothes etc. All worthwhile if I had stayed a little longer.
Flavio was a wonderful host. He did everything he could so that I could feel at home, and I really did! He was also extremely helpful and gave me a lot of tips. He really made my first days in Boston much easier! I would definitely recommend to stay at his place. He's a great conversationalist too!
Flavio´s place was great. The room was perfect for my stay in Cambrigde. Very clean, nice roomates, close to Harvard and MIT.
I highly recommend this place.
Flavio was very accommodating considering the nearly last-minute request. The room was comfortable and we would have been able to use kitchen & laundry facilities had we needed them. Great location for either Central Square or MIT.
Flavio was a great host. He is laid back and made it easy to coordinate a check in time and I felt right at home. The room was clean and tidy and he was gracious to offer breakfast the next morning.
We went to boston for a wedding, and all the local hotels were crazy expensive. We decided to look for a B & B instead, and found this room for rent. Flavio was very nice and accommodating for our arrival times.
He gave us great recommendations and tips about Boston.
The room was small and very basic but it was perfect for a place to crash for a few nights.
It's in a real quiet and safe neighborhood and close to everything!
Thanks
Flavio
We had a very nice stay at Flavio's house in Cambridge, MA. We stayed for 5 nights in May of 2011 and we booked with him only a few days prior to our stay. He was very helpful prior to our arrival with directions and other information about his place. We arrived very late to Boston and did not arrive at his home until midnight, but he stayed up to help us get settled and even made us some pasta since we could not find any other place to eat that late. The house was very quiet, even though he... More »
It was a pleasure to stay with Flavio, a thoroughly nice guy and a great room. I had booked into a traditional B&B for the two nights previous, and I wish I hadn't, I should have just stayed at Flavio's!
If you are going to Cambridge/Boston, stay here, it's clean convenient and Flavio will make you very welcome.
Flavio! Thanks a lot ! We were about to CHECK IN at 5pm and he let us checked earlier. And help us a lot in everything. He printed us the maps of Boston too! What can I say...if you go to Boston, you must stay at Flavio's. He is pretty near from everything !
Flavio is a very accommodating host. The room in his apartment is comfortable and private, and the place is conveniently located at walking distance to Harvard/MIT, as well as Harvard Bridge and Boston's city center. I would strongly recommend staying there.
It was a pleasure to stay in Flavio's place for several days. Flavio is extremely helpful with information about Boston, and his place in wonderfully located and spotlessly clean. A very nice experience.
Flavio made my overnight stay in Cambridge very easy and great. The room and apartment are clean, comfortable, and convenient. I was able to park my car in the driveway, and Flavio was really helpful and friendly and gave me lots of tips on where to go/how to get to Harvard. Thanks so much!!
Flavio was a wonderful host - he shared suggestions for where to go and what to do. The room was clean, quiet, and had an awesome balcony! A great location. A lovely experience all around, and I highly recommend staying with Flavio.
What makes this accommodation so special is the warmth and friendliness
of the host, Flavio. He's a great talker on a wide variety of subjects and
makes you feel comfortable and welcome the moment you step into his
apartment. The room is quiet, the bed comfortable, the apartment on the
whole is clean and neat. I highly recommend Flavio's place for a relaxing and fun stay in Cambridge.
Thanks Flavio for being an accommodating host for my first stay on this site. Nice room/space with lots of light and quiet in diverse area not too far from Charles river and rest of Boston. Kendall
