It may be shoebox ugly from the outside, but these apartments are modeled after modernist architect Le Corbusier's scheme of towers in a park. The cosseted campus of Charles River Park has existed for more than 30 years as a world removed from the rest of the city. The grounds and pathways are well maintained and beautifully planted, and the hard-to-find routes into the complex enhance the sense of privacy. For decades it was made famous by the billboard outside, which taunted frustrated commuters with the words: "If you lived here, you'd be home now."

At the intersection of Cambridge St. and Blossom St., one block north of the main entrance to MGH, the Holiday Inn Select offers pleasant rooms and friendly service. Each room is well-equipped with a variety of amenities, including internet and safety deposit box; a health club is on the second floor. Rooms $129-350 depending on the season. Suites $300-$450. Executive suites and wheelchair-accessible rooms with larger bathrooms are available. Ask about AAA and senior citizen discounts. Parking $40/day. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. The hotel has a health club and pool. It has cable TV but only the most basic channels; no Disney or Nickelodeon. It also has one restaurant. A seemingly boring amenity, but one that may be useful for traveling families, is the coin-operated washer/dryer. Beats paying for a dry cleaner.
