Cancer researcher
I am a postdoctoral fellow at a local cancer center. I am currently involved with multiple activities after work and spend only minimal time at home. I am a laid-back American and have many international friends as a result of working in a very diverse cancer lab. I love to travel but I also enjoy many hobbies such as biking, skiing, cooking and listening to great music.
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.... More »
August 2011This 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.
Very nice host. Clean and comfortable. Recommend to others.
My girlfriend and I stayed there for two nights. Douglas is really a nice host and his room is clean and quite. The location is quite good and very convenience to reach MIT and public transportation.
Doug's place is really nice and I had a wonderful time here! As a female I felt extremely safe and had no worries. Doug is very kind and even offered for me to hang out with him and his friends. He is like an instant friend, very trustworthy and always willing to help. He will definitely always be my first option whenever I come to Boston.
Doug was a very friendly and welcoming host. The appartment is nice and clean and well located between MIT and Harvard. I can recoomend this offer.
We stayed with Doug while checking out potential colleges in the area. It was a short walk to the T and a short ride to the major hub if we needed to transfer lines. It was a great place to stay; Doug is friendly, and knows the city well if you need information.
Apartment is awesome; location is superb (super close to great bars/restaurants and just a 10min walk to MIT); Doug is a great guy, very hospitable, friendly and considerate.
Doug was a great host. The home was very clean and orderly, which was great. It was very relaxed and Doug was a great host. I would have no reservations about staying there again.
I stayed at Doug's appartment during my first three days in Boston. This was a very pleasant stay, since the location is great and Doug gave me some great advices about living in Boston.
Doug's place was very nice, cozy, comfortable. gave me a feeling of staying at my own place instead of a hotel. Doug is also very friendly and accommodating.
Doug was the perfect host. He was very welcoming and keen to share his knowledge of the city. The apartment is really nice: large, clean, great location. I would recommend Doug and his room mate to anyone, whether you want to keep to yourself in a beautiful apartment or meet new people and share new experiences. Thanks mate!
The host canceled my reservation.
During my 3-day trip to Boston I stayed @ Doug's spacious place and I definitively enjoyed my time over there. It is a gorgeous, comfortable and for public transportation excellent located apartment which really makes you feel @ home instantaneously. Doug is a nice guy to chat with and during my short-term visit we even made it to watch a movie - improving my English skills ;-) Thus, definitively recommended as host! Thanks Doug!
Had a very pleasant, comfortable stay with Doug and his roommate in their beautiful, sunny, well-located apartment. Doug is friendly, interesting, respectful and keeps a tidy home. I wanted a chance to experience Cambridge while I settled my son at school--this was perfect. Highly recommended. Thank you Doug!
It was a pleasure to stay at Doug's place . It was well-kept, clean , airy, comfortable and well-located with shops, public transport and restaurants within 5 minutes' walk. Doug is an interesting person and very helpful. Recommended on all counts. Good luck, Doug on your current project.
This is a tidy, safe, friendly environment I recommend to anyone!
Douglas was a very helpful and accommodating host. His apartment is beautiful (love the wood floors!) and very clean. It's in a great neighborhood in Cambridge, very close to the train and walking distance from some excellent restaurants, bars and music venues. We stayed during a brutal heat wave, and the room was extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!
Doug is a great host... welcoming and respectful of privacy. The apartment is clean, comfortable, bright and well-appointed. Note: the bed is a futon and not a mattress. I would stay here again if I am back in town.
Great place, 5 minute walk to train, 3 stops from city centre, one stop from harvard. Nice room, great apartment, nice guy! 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants/bottleshops :)
Doug has a really nice clean, safe apartment located in a convenient part of Boston. Doug provided me with good restaurant and local attraction recommendations and 2 excellent guide books of the area. With his background he is a really interesting guy to have a conversation with. Thanks Doug
Doug is a great guy who will make you feel at home instantly. Plenty of space, friendly, and overall great place to stay. Nice bathroom and shower also!
Fantastic location (less than 10 minutes from Central Sq. and less than 5 minutes from Whole Foods). Place was spacious and clean. Doug was really laid back and I felt right at home the moment I arrived. While I was busy most of the week doing my own thing we did manage to hang out and watch a movie. At Doug's you become another roommate and are considered part of the household during your stay.
Great guy, nice apartment.
Great ! Very nice and clean apt !
As a girl traveling by herself you have to be careful: doug was nice and so was his place: you won't be dissapointed
Doug is a great guy, and he's got the most awesome apartment in Cambridge: huge, top floor, with balcony, ultramodern kitchen and comfy couches. And it's in a great location: just a short walk to Whole Foods or Central Square. Reccommended!
Very pleasant, welcoming, apartment gorgeous, flatmate very welcoming, reachable, and discret! Awesome stay, don't hesitate!
