"Nice B&B in a quiet neighborhood"

10.0

Nice little B&B in a quiet neighborhood, easy to fall asleep. Also very close to Harvard Yard and the T

The parking is very tight and small but it was still nice to not have to find parking somewhere else

10.0

Staff are fantastic. Location is perfect for Harvard. Rooms and shared bathrooms are periodically cleaned. Breakfast is good with just enough options. Coffee and cookies served all day to guests. Lobby has desks if needed and luggage storage. Only complaints are that the neighbors can be loud (not something the B&B can control) and the overall place is a bit older. This gives it a great home-y feel but also means the pillows are flat as if they have been run over by a semi. If you want swanky this is not your place, but if you want exceptional service and location paired with more than acceptable accommodations this is the spot. Personally, I will keep coming back.

I should have known better... there's a reason it was half the price of other places in Cambridge. Cheap mattress, cheaper sheets, terrible climate control, tight parking. I went down to breakfast and made a U-turn the moment I saw what was laid out.

"Stay okay "

6.0

Clean room, excellent breakfast and staff were friendly. We were allowed an early check in which was appreciated. Our room was on 3rd floor, which was a climb (no elevator) having injured myself prior to our arrival. We had an okay stay. Location is close to Harvard Square with about a 10 min walk.
