Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cambridge

I was so pleased that Beth's place was available for the weekend. Her home is absolutely charming and in a perfect location. My bed and bedding were so comfortable, and the bathroom was beautifully clean. The entry is so charming and welcoming. I was happy to stay here for a second time and would love to stay again when in Cambridge.

Clean, cozy, and comfortable. Daily cleaning was a nice touch. Quiet East Boston neighborhood with quick access to the T and buses. Hosts were attentive. Felt a bit like a hostel with other rooms in the house, but everything was peaceful and well-kept. Great stay!

Absolutely loved our stay at Laura’s airbnb! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting the Boston area. Even before we arrived, Laura’s instructions were clear and super helpful, making check in easy. The room itself was private, clean, and very comfortable. What really set this airbnb apart were the thoughtful personal touches. There was a mini fridge in the closet fully stocked with sweet treats, drinks, and even robes. They provided a computer for watching shows and a record player to enjoy some music, which made the space feel extra special. In the morning, we found cereal bowls, blueberries, and cups of water set out for breakfast - so simple, sweet, and so considerate. It’s also worth mentioning that the space is LGBTQ+ friendly, which was important to us. My partner and I both had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back! :)

Anne’s apartment is the perfect place to stay in Cambridge. It is spacious, lovely, and convenient to everything. Anne was a wonderful host and made our stay so easy. We hope to return!

Thomas is an exceptional host and this place is absolutely amazing! The house has a beautiful aesthetic and a calming vibe, and it was spotless and very well-managed. I especially loved how the room was organized, it had a romantic charm to it that really stood out. The furniture was top notch and honestly the place looks so much better in person than in photos (which is rare!). This was actually my first Airbnb stay in the States and I ended up being an hour late for checkout. Thomas was incredibly kind and didn’t even charge me for the delay, such a thoughtful gesture. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and just adds to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this place to everyone, and I’ll say it again, it’s ten times better in person! Thank you Thomas for your hospitality, will surely keep coming back to your place frequently hereafter! Hahaha

Pema and Jonathan are wonderful hosts. This was our second stay at The Nest and we were able to really take advantage of the deck overlooking their beautiful garden and the city beyond, for morning coffee and afternoon snacks. Their place is very spacious and charming. It's walking distance to stores, restaurants and the Gilman Square T-stop. For trips further afield, it's great to have a designated, off-street parking spot right by the entrance to the unit, with motion sensor lights for nighttime arrivals. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bed is very comfortable, with reading lights on both sides of the bed. Highly recommend.

We had a great time here as a mother-daughter duo. The location is perfect for exploring without a car, with great restaurants, coffee, and a train stop within a quick walk. Our hosts were very gracious and kind, and we were very comfortable: comfortable bed, lots of room to unpack, a desk for writing, and a newly-remodeled private bathroom. Recommended!

Excellent. The place is a rooming house with several bedrooms and two baths. Full kitchen and off street parking, but call ahead to reserve yourself a spot. There was ample street parking when I got there at 6:30. Super clean, comfortable bed in room 3, and surprisingly quiet for being so close to the pike. I will definitely stay here again.

One of the best, if not THE best Airbnb I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. Thanks again Emanuel!

I came to attend Harvard’s graduation and we had a great stay at Melanie’s place! It was clean and comfortably fit myself and my mom and sister. We would book again in the future!

Really nice spot. It was easy to travel with a kid/family. Especially liked the coffee, milk, and local guidebooks with family ideas. Loved how walkable everything was, it was a totally car-free trip.

Highly recommend! There is plenty of space, parking was easy, the beds were comfortable, great location to explore Cambridge and Boston, and very responsive and friendly hosts. We traveled with our baby and they set out a pack and play and toys for him too, which was so kind!

Host was incredibly attentive and helpful. Great location and easy parking. Nicely appointed and very clean.

Danny and his place were great! Danny was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The house manual with local recommendations was a great touch as well. The place was clean and within easy walking distance throughout Cambridge. I would recommend the stay and hope to stay again the next time we are in town!

We loved our stay! It’s about a 10min walk to the Porter T stop, so very convenient to use to get around the city. The space is exactly as described! We’d stay again.

This was a wonderful place to stay—so close to subway, bus lines to Harvard/MIT, Whole Foods, grocery stores, etc. I found everything I needed and Sue was incredibly helpful and responsive thrughout!

Tim's place really is a gem; the location in Back Bay makes it incredibly convenient to get Downtown as needed, and it located just a couple blocks from the Harvard Bridge, which makes it incredibly convenient for those who'd like to take a short walk over the river to MIT. The kitchen comes well stocked with lots of really high-quality utensils and cookware (for those who enjoy having access to a good chef's or santoku knife, it was fun to see that Tim has a set of Schmidt knives for guests to use). I didn't require using the loft at all, but did need to remote work for about 8 hours during the day -- I managed to get a great set-up right by the bay window (wi-fi works great). Would definitely come back!

We had a great stay at Cayla's home. Cayla was very responsive and flexible. We appreciated the availability of street parking (with permit provided) and laundry in the basement. Would definitely stay again!

Dan's place is equidistant to Harvard and MIT, a short walk to great restaurants and cafes, and a wonderful base for exploring Cambridge. Would happily stay here again with my family.

Philip’s apartment was better than expected. Very clean and large. Great value for a roomy 3 bedroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. We enjoyed the walkability of the location because we just left our car parked in the lot behind the apartment and walked or took the T everywhere. It was also nice to have a Whole Foods down the street and top notch coffee and ice cream only a few blocks away. Philip’s place was probably the nicest Airbnb that we’ve stayed in. Thanks, Philip, for a great family visit to Boston!

My stay at the Lighthouse was great! Perfect location, walking distance to Harvard, and made for a nice, cozy stay. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Boston!

What a gem!! Ana's appartement is amazing. The bedrooms are large with good mattresses and furniture. Kitchen is great too. There is a nice patio to sit on at the back. Ana's house is extrememy clean, cosy and very well maintained, we will definitely stay here again when we visit Boston!

Great stay! Perfect for our needs while visiting our son. Cute and comfortable living space, comfortable bed, hot shower, great coffeemaker with pods provided, nice dining table, good location. Really appreciated the offer to check in early/out late, though we didn't end up taking advantage of it. We'll be back!

We had a great stay in Boston. We really appreciated being able to drop our luggage off in locked storage since our flight got in early. There are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores just a short walk away. Additionally, it took us about 3 minutes to walk to the closest T station for easy access to the airport and downtown. The Airbnb was very well equipped, spotless, and thoughtfully laid out. Thank you Ali for a fantastic stay!
