Everything was nice, clean and a good neighborhood. Easy to grab a metro and only 15-20 min from the airport. Very nice staff.
Ideal for stays near Harvard and MIT
Lovely property. Clean and convenient location with an attentive staff.
It’s been a wonderful stay! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Accommodations have been wonderful for many reasons- one, it’s very clean. The beds are so comfortable and it’s a charming place! It’s been an excellent experience and being walking distance to Harvard yard is just great.
Nancy (runs the place) is great. Room and overall facility is very clean. Minimal amenities (shared kitchen and dining room), which is fine. I just needed/wanted a place to sleep. I've never stayed at a b&b type of facility before. I'm more used to standard hotels. Not sure how I feel about the format. No shoes required inside which I'm used to from home. I was not aware I booked a shared bathroom room. Definitely not used to that. Will need to pay more attention to that when booking next time. According to Nancy, most rooms there do have bathrooms in the room. Mine was only 1 of 2. My biggest
