It is clean and quiet, but not convenient. If you have lot of luggage it will be hard because there's no elevator for 2nd and 3rd floor room. If you stay more than one or two days， there is no laundry facility either. The 3rd floor room is essentially attic room

Room was a little musty.
The house was nice. But our room had a musty smell to it. Not sure if it was from the a/c or the carpeting in the room. But other than that we found the bed nice and the location was good for getting into downtown.

The room was cozy and bathroom was clean and shower was great. It's a house and not super sound proof so the mornings are a little noisy with everyone getting up and doing their morning routine so if you're a light/ late sleeper this may not be the best spot for you. The upside is that it definitely feels nice being in a house and not a sterile hotel. The morning snacks like fresh banana bread were great and the tea selection was really good as well. I was pleasantly surprised that there was parking on site which was a bonus. The Davis Square neighborhood is great- lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, pizza and even a 100 year old movie theater and music venue all within a few blocks- and buses and subway 2 blocks away (and 2 BlueBike rental kiosks within 2 blocks). I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely book again.

I required a place to stay during a course, and this was a great location for me because I did not need certain amenities like a fitness center, but needed a safe and clean place for rest and freshening up at the end of the day. It was clean, check-in was simple and smooth, and it had all the things needed in a hotel room. This is a beautiful old historic home on a really nice street, and, fortunately, has air conditioning and nicely upgraded bathrooms. I did not have time to experience the breakfast set up but it looked very nice. The broader neighborhood has many restaurants and shops which are also great and easily accessible.

Unfortunately, the room and the bed were super small and especially for that expensive price inappropriate. I had to share a small bed with my father who has back problems and we had two pretty sleepless nights. The mattress was not comfortable and we could barely walk in that tiny room. The options for breakfast were also very limited. The house is very pretty and cozy and clean, and we liked the atmosphere. The main issue was the small room and bed for such an expensive price.

I stayed here for the Boston Marathon and I truly enjoyed everything about the property and the area. The property was not far at all from the T and the T can bring you right into Boston where everything was going on. There were multiple options for food and drinks within walking distance. I felt completely safe walking around! The property itself was very neat and clean. They offered an off street parking area if you drove a vehicle there. There were complimentary light breakfast items available every morning. The house and individual rooms stayed locked and closed at all times with easy to understand directions for getting in and out. Lots of posted information all over the house to ensure that the guests knew how to work everything and find everything. If you are a cat lover then you will love the fact they have an indoor/outdoor cat there. The cat was very friendly to me and I definitely made a friend. For those allergic to cats, don’t worry because the cat does not go into the individual rooms! I will definitely keep this property in mind for the next time I travel to Boston!

Very easy check in and walking distance to restaurants and transit (T system) to get in and out of the city easily. We were on 3rd floor in the 'comfort room' and although the room was cozy and comfortable, the wall between the two rooms up there isn't insulated so we could hear every conversation and in/our of our neighbor as well as all guests coming up/down stairs. It's an old house so not totally unexpected, but something to be aware of if you want to settle in early for any reason.
