The room is spacious -- three rooms plus bath. Location can't be beat. The  flat is very much "grad student" in quality, but for the price and the location it can't be beat.

Excellent price and location

First of all, if you are into anything but the basics, Harvard Square has other hotels (I stayed in them all) with markups of over 300%.  This place is basic, but the price is amazing and the location (Mt. Auburn and Banks, minutes to Harvard University) is wonderful.  My room was clean, the manager, Chester, was conscientious and the place is near plenty of restaurants, minutes away from the bookstore and river.  Once again, don't stay here if you're expecting a traditional hotel--there are plenty of other places in the Square willing to take your money (and those places, including the Charles, will be overpriced for what they provide)

An Inexpensive Oasis at Harvard Square

Chester the manager delivered on all that he promised - amenities, parking permit, beds. Dependable, thanks. Very happy with the rental. Hotel service a 3 only because it is basically an apartment.

Great Day in Cambridge

Place was clean and fun.  In a great neighborhood, fabulous restaurants nearby.  Guy in charge was very easy to deal with.  Cool art in the stairwell.

Great place to stay in Cambridge

Really enjoyed my stay at the Karma house. I was looking for a unique place to stay in Cambridge and this was perfect. It was within walking distance of many things and extremely comfy. It really had everything you needed and as a single female traveling.... I felt safe staying there which was important. The bed and pillows were so COMFORTABLE I had no trouble falling asleep at night. The kitchen had all the stuff needed for cooking which was nice.  Check in and check out was VERY simple. LOVED my whole experience at this place. Definitely will stay again!!!

Cozy and fun stay close to Harvard Square

Location in a charming street that's walking distance to restaurants, shopping, Harvard, Harvard Square, and the metro line (T). It's also very close to the Charles River, so if you like running, this is a great place to stay. The apartment I stayed at is also very charming and cozy. Very private, great kitchen with all the appliances and supplies if you want to cook (refrigerator, sink, oven, stove, dishes, microwave, etc.). The bed is a little creaky and hard, but not a major issue. It's an old house, so it could be part of the theme. The unit I stayed in also had a nice private patio on the top floor, which was a big plus. There is no maid service or front desk, and is more like a vacation rental unit. They basically give you a set of instructions and leave it up to you to self-check in and out. If you're OK with this, it's a great place to stay.

Cozy place very near Harvard

excellent location close to harvard square. the building is not in the best of shape but is more than sufficient for comfort. all the amenities are in excellent condition and i found the apartment very functional and well suited to my needs. arrival and checking in was very smooth and well managed.

The property manager is easy to get in touch with and responds very quickly. I had some questions and they were answered politely and professionally.The apartment is clean and conveniently located and is a good price for the value.  This is not a new place so if you are someone who needs a modern place or a slick-looking hotel room  --this is not for you.  However, if you want affordable accommodations in an older building with a living room, bedroom, and kitchen all to your own -- this is the place !   I stayed here while participating in the Boston marathon for the second time and it was again a great experience.  I loved being able to relax and watch TV and then have my own cup of coffee in a cute little kitchen.  It was perfect.If you are driving - Cambridge has resident parking everywhere and your own options are meters or a lot 1/4 mile away.  No need for a car here, it's completely walkable with public transportation around the corner.

Convenient location near Harvard

Fantastic quality and price balance. It had home away from home comfort, so it didn't feel like a hotel, but like staying in your own home. Beautiful old apartment in converted house with old wood floors. The house was oozing charm and comfort. The Cambridge Karma House would be my first choice when returning to the Boston area.
