We were in Boston to attend a graduation at MIT with visits to family who live near Harvard Square. The MIT and Harvard graduations were on the same days, so most of the nearby large hotels were very pricey and very full. We found the Oasis on Google maps searching for hotels in the area, and it seemed very well situated, MIT just a walk or short ride over the Mass Ave bridge and Harvard Square just beyond. The location turned out to be ideal, and what was particularly nice is that it is located in the midst of the city, but by being one street away from busy Mass Ave, it is like you are in a quaint, residential area, with some nice nearby parks for sitting--and access to the businesses on Mass Ave by entering through their rear entryways! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast room and breakfast very fresh and ample. The stairs are steep and narrow, but we managed and being in our 80's, we got help from staff and family when needed. Rooms are small but the space is optimally and efficiently furnished.
