A hidden gem
The experience was simply amazing. The house has been transformed into a beautiful B&B. It was charming, clean, and cozy with a mid 1800's feel. The shower was good eith ample hot water, the bed was comfortable although not a premiere experience like large chain hotels that have upgraded bedding and pillows. We called at 11am to see if our room was ready from Harvard Yard and by the time we walked the short distance, only had to wait about 5 minutes to get into our room. They sent the cleaning crew straight over to do our room first. The breakfast was amazing with cheesy egg phyllo puffs, quiches, yogurt, nuts and raisins, various good quality breads with cheese, peanut butter and nutella. They even had olives and tomatoes. Cereal three kinds of milk or substitutes, and fresh fruit.
