Perfect for traveling with pets

4 floor house that is very close to MIT and Harvard’s campuses. I traveled with my puppy and having a parking spot right outside the home was super convenient. The host even left us a water/food bowl with treats. The host was also super quick to respond to any messages. Great experience overall :)
