A great find, very cozy, but not chintzy at all. Rooms comfortable, very quiet neighborhood, parking available, very close to the T, nice walkable, downtown, easy to get to, nice breakfast, helpful but unintrusive hosts, and an adorable cat!

Quiet, convenient
Great, quiet experience. Loved the housecat (who is not allowed in rooms due to allergy concerns). Really liked Davis Square nearby.

Russell

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff provided this help when asking for directions "Google it". Was not allowed to have air conditioning because the remotes were put up for the season. Breakfast consists of hard-boiled eggs, cereal, a pastry, and coffee. For the amount of money, it was not worth it.

the location was perfect- brought me back to my happy place when i lived in Somerville 25 years ago! parking was a huge plus, the inn itself was just beautiful inside and out, the feline was the most adorable zany little meatball, and Linde baked the best Irish soda bread i have ever had. EVER. i stayed in the Little Room, proof that they make even the smallest space comfortable. one note- the bed has a huge pillowtop, so it is on the softer side for those that need to know. pick HERE- you will thank me for it.

Ron and Linde made our stay like staying at home. The best part is breakfast; they freshly make different bakery every day, together with fruit salad, yogurt, sourdough bread, variant juices, boiled eggs, their breakfast is even better than what we have at home. Their dinning and living rooms are always welcoming to guests. Sometimes their lovely cat would stay there accompanying you for a while too. The house is bit old, like every other houses in that area. But they make it very clean. The location is very good, half mile away from Davis square. We would definitely stay here again if we come to Boston again.

It is what it is
It was a nice place to stay but no ESPN and the breakfast was lacking. Owners were not home. But Maria was great. Stairs were steep and narrow which made it a little hard for us.

I can’t think of a better or more accommodating place to stay for my first Boston Marathon. It’s relaxing. The breakfast was amazing. The area is lovely. The subway is about 200 ft away. Highly recommended!

Quiet place to stay and close to the Train. The shower in the Boston Room needs repair. We were not able to have a decent shower due to not being able to adjust the water temperature properly.
