It was quaint and comfortably within expectations for a bed and breakfast in a former residential structure. The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant, surprising blend of availability and regional approach to those offerings. We'd stay there again.

Great place to stay. Very clean rooms, great breakfast and great staff. Walkable to Harvard Square and very close to bus stops and 10 minutes walk to T stop. Had European vibes. Just a heads up: Rooms and bathrooms are smaller compared to regular chain hotels. If you don’t mind that this is an excellent place to stay.
