Friendly, smart, politically liberal/progressive, resourceful;_) I love hosting people from all over the world, and know the Cambridge/Boston area well (for a native NY'er---I've been here since graduate school which was 20 yrs ago). You will find the environment here 'on the court' restful, peaceful and as my current guest from Australia put it, "I figured you were a healer of some sort-- because your home feels healing." Our place is relaxing and down to earth, with an artistic and colorful ambiance, and lots of sunlight.
My boy is pure enjoyment once he feels comfortable with a guest. My dog is one of the sweetest mutts ever (objectively speaking of course)!
I really enjoyed my stay in this apartment. It is a great value.It is private, roomy and has large, clean, full bathroom. I also appreciated very comfortable bed and my own refridgerator. House is located near several good and inexpensive restaurants. It is few minutes walk to bus #77 which takes you straight to Harvard Square, steps to Harvard University. Owner- Judy made an extra effort to make my stay pleasant. Thank You Judy!
January 2012Mazzy and Co. are great hosts. They have a beautiful, comfortable, welcoming home. You will love staying here!
Warm, inviting, comfortable. This home is in a great location in North Cambridge. My host was accommodating, friendly, and flexible. She was attentive to my needs while allowing all the privacy I needed. Mazzy the dog is adorable, and the home is lovely. Thank you so much!
The room is located in a quiet neighborhood of Cambridge just 20 minutes by subway to the center of Boston. The subway station is 10 minute walk through a calm and friendly looking street. I stayed at the room with a private bathroom what was its great benefit! The room is located right next to the entrance door what means you are private with arrivals or leaving the apartment. The room is cozy and interestingly furnished. The bed I was sleeping on was comfortable and satisfactory big.... More »
Close to main road where bus stops and the T. Very calm neighborhood. Lovely dog called Mazzy. Very kind host.
Got in later that evening than originally anticipated - but had excellent instructions, everything was where it was supposed to be, bed was very comfortable and slept like a log. Had nice chat over coffee and pear tarts the following morning before she was off to meditation and I was back into the city to meet family. Delightful, too brief stay - would definitely go back!
Overall, my stay with Mazzy Lou was fantastic. She is very kind and welcoming and really made me feel at home. The house is really beautifully decorated, with a lot of character. I loved sitting on the deck on sunny mornings. They also have a lovely dog who is incredibly friendly and nice to be around.
Our stay with Mazzy Lou was comfortable and welcoming. Judy provided a great space for us with an "on suite" bathroom - perfect for our group of 3 women. We enjoyed the opportunity to chat with Judy and Simon when we were "home" in the evenings - and, of course, Mazzy was the consummate hostess! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not only do I highly recommend staying with Mazzy Lou, I won't hesitate to reserve a spot there again!
Great place very convenient to Mass Ave (main thoroughfare w buses) and about a 10 min walk to two subway stations from where it's a 10-15 min ride into downtown Boston or 5 minutes to Harvard Sq. The hostess was very welcoming and the place was spotless. Great value!
My first airbnb experience and a great one! Judy is a super easygoing host with a charming knack for decorating. She was both friendly and helpful without being intrusive at all--really made the place a relaxing homebase for my visit. Mazzy the dog has such an appealing personality. Location was perfect for my commute to Davis Square. I stayed in the smaller room with the twin bed just off the living room for three nights. It had a little writing desk and an antique music stand, and other... More »
It was very pleasant staying at Judy's. The room we had (first on the left with own bathroom) offered us plenty of privacy. Judy was also very flexible when we had a last minute request to leave early (even though in the end we didn't) and was kind enough not to charge us when we accidentally broke a bedside table lamp knocking it over during the night.
Great spot, great host, great location. We'd go back in a minute
Very nice people. Made me feel at home. Place is very well located for Cambridge visitors. Quiet in the night but within walking distance of public transportation and restaurant/bar areas.
Mazzy Lou and Judy were PERFECT hosts! Their home is lovely and comfortable. Easy to get to from the T and GREAT water pressure in the shower! We will definitely call them again when we return to Cambridge! Billy and Candyce Tuggle Andi Kauth
Judy is a very kind and gracious host. My family (wife and daughter) had a wonder experience with her and Mazzy! The house is in a quiet neighborhood in Cambridge, and is in short walking distance to Porter, Davis, or Alewife T. Would definitnely stay with her again.
Judy was an absolutely fantastic host - I couldn't have asked for better! To begin with, I'd had some trouble getting accommodation in Boston, and at the last minute, despite being full up, she offered a spare room which turned out to be perfect. The house is very cute and full of art, and the room itself a sunny little jem connected to the living room. Along with some other guests, we all went out and shared a meal together on the second night, and it was a great chance to get to know each... More »
Joe and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Judy and Mazzy! Our room had everything we needed and was very comfortable, and the location is perfect for Cambridge - only a ten-minute walk to Alewife T station. Even though we were visiting family and we both used to work in the city, we got some good suggestions on places to go - especially on the record hot (102 degree) day: the Gardner museum. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect situation in all respects. I enjoyed the location, cleanliness, privacy, convenience to the T, and especially the hospitality. Friendly, easy, and the host is extremely generous with her very interesting house. Everything that I needed for a long hard week of work away from home! Plus good company, excellent food recommendations. I will stay again and recommend all who may want to visit Boston in the most lovely and easy way !
As soon as I knew a return visit to Boston was happening I immediately contacted Judy to see if the room was available. Luckily it was for the four nights we needed. She's a wonderful host, the room is cozy and clean and the location is ideal. Another perfect stay!
The location was perfect. Nice residential area ,close to all transport. My bedroom had all I could ask for and the ensuite had plenty of hot water.The accomodation was immaculate. Thanks to my host for all her kindness. Would return.
We had a very nice stay at Mazzy Lou's place. Thanks a lot for being so helpful and to take all of our children. We highly recommand the place ;) Warmly,
Judy is a most gracious host! While both of us were extremely busy and away from the house for most of the weekend, she made a concerted effort to check in on me and make sure I had everything I needed and that I felt comfortable. The space in her house offers plenty of privacy and your own bath (as well as a mini-fridge!) This space is in an extremely quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors and a cute playground for kids. It's less than a 10-minute walk to the bus line that takes you... More »
I stayed here for two weeks and can't say enough good things about my experience. The room was comfy and cheerful and the location was just perfect for everything. Judy is a delightful host and gave me great tips on things to see and do. This was a wonderful place to "come home to" every night and Judy has excellent coffee! I'll certainly stay here again when I'm in Cambridge.
Judy's place was perfect! Our room was clean and more than adequate with a large, comfy bed, sofa, tv and large full bathroom. Judy was extremely gracious, greeting us with a glass of wine and leaving us plenty of breakfast and coffee in the mornings. We would not hesitate to stay here again the next time we're in the Boston area.
Mazzy Lou is a wonderful, caring host! If you are coming to the Cambridge, MA area, this is the best, friendliest place to stay! It's convenient to everything, and, having a private bath is the only way to go. I rate Mazzy as highly as one can; go for it! M
We really enjoyed our stay at Mazzy's house. Our host is welcoming and friendly and can enable anyone to feel at home in Cambridge. The house is very comfortable and close to Harvard and MIT, with easy "T" connections to Boston.
We had a great stay with Mazzy Lou in Cambridge. The room is very private -- with an attached bath and little fridge! -- and quiet, and feels homey and warm, with the bonus of the occasional visit from the cutest dog ever. Mazzy was accommodating of our weird schedule; I only wish we were able to stay and chat a bit more!
The place is extremely well located, just a few minutes away from the main places in the city centre. The family is fantastic, they make you feel at home, very friendly the pet is adorable. If you love animals it's very likely you will end up going for a walk with the dog :) The infrastructure of the house is very good and very nice, I highly recommend the place to anyone coming to Cambridge!!
J'ai bien apprécié mon séjour à Boston chez Mazzy Lou.
Wonderful family, home, neighborhood! It doen't get any better, all around. I give I a 10! A wonderful host, and the room is sweet. Great set up.
Mazzy is wonderful; beyond my expectations! Great, quiet room with private bath
Mazzy is a great host and made my friend and myself feel very welcomed in her home. The room is great and the walk from the metro station to her place is easy and really enjoyable. She lives in a quiet neighborhood but there is some great eateries close to where she is. Her dog is cute and friendly and just a real joy. You'd be hard pressed to find a better dog.
I stayed with Mazzy during two short business trips to Boston. The house is in a very nice, quiet residential area of Cambridge, but easily accessible by public transportation: 3 minute walk to the bus to Harvard Square, 10 minute walk along a beautiful bike path to the red line subway. Mazzy is great about giving directions and goes out of her way to be welcoming and accommodating to whatever your needs might be. The room is simple but comfortable, quiet, and private. Just of note for... More »
Mazzy made my stay in Boston a greatly restoring experience ... I was made to feel very welcome and practically part of the family! The room has every comfort, is well located and is nicely private. The house in general too just feels right in so many ways. I too would enthusiastically recommend a stay with Mazzy! Summary: Civilised to the max and warmly hospitable.
