Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cambridge

Great place. We loved the location and the surroundings. Wally was you receptive and proactive. Everything we needed was available. The instructions and local information was great and even though we had a plan of things to do, it provided us a couple of awesome ideas for our down time. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend. Thanks Wally.

Lovely space in a great area. Short distance to lots of local shops and cafes on Centre st - and to Jamaica pond - which has a green walking/running route. Good transport connections to central Boston and Cambridge and very easy access to the airport. Jennifer was a friendly, responsive and considerate host - very welcoming - and shared some amazing blueberry cake with us. Would definitely recommend.

Frank and Nina’s place is such a gem in Belmont! The backyard garden is especially beautiful for summer nights! Nina and Frank are also really friendly, communicative and accommodating! The place is very warm and clean. Highly recommend!

Excellent visit to this refitted barn which is now a multi-level home. Our stay was made even better by the hosts. Scott and Heather live on site and were always available for travel advice and local recommendations. Kids loved the backyard swing. The bus stop is at the end of the block and connects directly to the 'T' making public transit easy. Several restaurants are walking distance in downtown Arlington.

This was such a a delightful place to stay. The surroundings were so beautiful and calm. We were greeted by turkeys, and a mother and newborn deer crossed our path as we left. The hosts, Susan and Mark, were friendly, attentive and accommodating. I would certainly come back in a heartbeat.

Peter was an amazing host. My son and I were there in June. His place looked exactly what the photos portrayed and the descriptions were accurate. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the red line which takes you right into downtown Boston. We walked everywhere. The place was clean and had all the amenities that anyone could ask for. Peter was very gracious and fast to respond to any questions I may have had. If I’m ever back in Boston, I would certainly stay at his place again. Thanks Peter for making our stay enjoyable.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kevin’s place. Great location. Easy access to the train and the city. Lots of nearby restaurants. Kevin was friendly and accommodating and provided some nice treats to eat and drink. The apartment was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the rooftop patio. We will be sure to stay again when visiting the area.

An eclectic spot with all you need for a pleasant stay. Comfortable and cozy - washer & dryer a plus. Mimi and Manny are excellent hosts. Load-in is awesome - you can park very close to the side entrance. Quaint and charming.

Thank you so much for a fantastic stay! The home was warm, spotless, and ideally situated. Everything we needed was just a short distance away. It truly made our visit smooth and enjoyable. We are grateful for your generous hospitality and would absolutely choose to stay here again if we return to the area!

We stayed at Jenny‘s house while we were moving our son into his new apartment at Boston College. The home was perfect and just like the description, very clean and comfortable, the view of the river was amazing and we enjoyed our swans that visited every day! The kitchen was very well stocked, although we did not have the chance to cook any real meals since we were running errands during our entire stay. The basement laundry area was very clean and convenient. The downtown neighborhood was very cool with many restaurants to choose from. Definitely would highly recommend!

Jimmy was a very attentive host. any questions I had were answered quickly and promptly. He was a friendly host to my other guests that were with me. He was accommodating and I would use the airbnb again

We had a great stay. Gerard responded quickly to any messages and was very helpful. The apartment was located in a great area, close to where we wanted to be and was very comfortably furnished with great amenities. The neighbourhood was quiet. Street parking was good as it was a long weekend but during the week would be difficult. There is a good parking garage a short walk away which would be a good alternative. The instructions for check in/out were easy. Will definitely stay here again when in Charlestown!!

Zazy and George were amazing hosts and communication was extremely easy. The space was great, and it was a very cute top floor. We had a great trip!

Andrea’s place was amazing! We stayed for a week and it was so clean and wonderfully organized. All instructions were clear, and Andrea was very kind and responsive!

April’s place was everything advertised and more - beautiful high ceilings, a nice loft in addition to the two bedrooms, great proximity to everything in Somerville and Cambridge. When we had an issue with a potential lockout, April was proactive in reaching out and incredibly helpful. Would absolutely recommend the stay.

We had a great stay at Berta’s AirBnB. The home had more room than I expected from the description. Berta was flexible with my check in needs and responsive throughout the stay. The neighborhood was highly walkable to shops and conveniently located to Harvard’s campus. The kitchen and rooms were stocked with comfortable amenities. Great option for a small family. Thanks Berta!

Second visit to this home and it was the same convenient location and a nice place to stay. Nice responsive host, definitely recommended.

Mark's home & hospitality were stellar! We had a last minute reservation that he was able to accommodate several hours later on the very same day. HIs place is just as described. It's full of charm & character, from all the beautifully preserved wood elements throughout to the sparkling tiled bathroom. He actually lives in the unit connected to it & has done an exceptional job renovating both the inside & outside. It feels homey, which is exactly what we look for when we're away from ours. Additionally there were nice added touches like responsibly sourced toiletries & kitchen supplies which all really stood out to us. Being from a warmer climate personally, it was nice knowing there were window a/c units to count on for warmer days/nights throughout the unit also. The coffee provided was the little cherry on top in the mornings when we enjoyed the lovely covered back porch & views of his private garden/patio areas. Don't miss this place if ever in town- it's the Grand Dame of Boston!

Had a wonderful stay with my friends in Boston. The rooms and living spaces were very comfortable and clean. Michelle was very reachable and responded quickly. Would recommend this home to anyone.

We loved Ellen's place from the minute we walked in. It was warm, welcoming and had everything that we needed for a week's stay. The house/apartment is set on a quiet street set in the woods but a very close drive to Concord where we spend most of our time sightseeing. Helen's is the best restaurant to try in town. Ellen and her husband Kevin were there to welcome us and answered any concerns we had about the place. Her place is very comfortable with a large living room to relax in, a kitchen to cook in and a very comfortable bed to sleep in. I give her place 10 stars and more and I recommend it to anyone who is staying in Concord. Thank you Ellen for the wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you again

Gregory's place was just what we needed for our stay in Boston. Really great restaurants within walking distance and very kid friendly neighborhood with a park right nextdoor. I would love to come back and see more of the city!

3rd time we stay here. What bigger recommendation can we give? Friendly, cozy. Nice little yard out the back. Very responsive, lovely, host.

We really enjoyed our stay. Such a Warm and cozy home. Elizabeth was easily reachable whenever we had a question. Would highly recommend her cozy home. Thanks Elizabeth

Ann and Emil were amazing hosts. They worked with me on a late check out and were always communicative and helpful. The location of their place is wonderful and within easy walking distance to the Central Station T stop for easy access to Boston. It was also very easy to walk to Harvard which was a plus for us. Great restaurants and coffee shops right around the corner.
