Hosts:
We are Bob and Julie. Over 28 years we have lived in the same home; raised our two children as part of a friendly neighborhood community called Cambridge Cohousing. It has a vegetable garden and many trees which is quite special for this city location. Our grown children are both in their own homes now and we find we have more bedrooms than we need. Bob is a retired software engineer and Julie is a Massage Therapist and poet. We enjoy helping new people get acquainted with the city and are respectful of everyone’s need for privacy.

Important: We have a small kitchen so we need you to ask when you'd like to do some cooking (mostly weekends) but expect you'll be using the small refrigerator, microwave and toaster in your room most of the time. Many of our past boarders eat on-campus too.
