If you're visiting Cambridge for any reason, I would recommend Blue's for its location - it's an easy walk to Harvard, Radcliffe, and many other Colleges/Universities. We also enjoyed the diversity of people we met there - from the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy - all staying with Blue and doing business with one college or another. I would describe our... More

Overpriced for simple bed & Breakfast w/ shared bathroom. Had trouble getting past old carpet on bathroom floor; mold on shower curtain and bath mat. Was a very quiet and pretty area, surrounding homes and yards that were beautiful. Guest were very friendly.

Great host! Comfortable room. Well located to explore Cambridge. Walking distance to Porter Square. 10-15 minutes from Harvard Square.

We were in Boston on our honeymoon and found Blue's B&B looking for something close in to the university as we had a meeting to arrange. Blue was very accommodating around our meeting. The breakfast was very good, every day something new and tasty. The room (and the whole house) was clean and neat with an intriguing collection of furnishings... More

This lovely home is very convenient for visiting Boston generally and Cambridge in particular. My room was spacious and attractively decorated and Blue cooked a delicious breakfast in the morning for the guests. It is very good value for money as this is usually an expensive town to visit

My husband and 10 yr old daughter stayed here for one night and will definitely return. Blue and her husband are warm, conscientious hosts, and their B&B reflects a love for art and travel. Blue works at Harvard's Museum of Natural History and her excitement about it is contagious. We enjoyed it immensely. If you want a quiet place to... More

I have really pondered what to write here. We had such a hard time finding a relatively nice & inexpensive place to stay in the Boston area. We found Blue's and, I would stay again. It's close to the Porter T station, Harvard Square, and many great restaurants. However, there was something off that everyone I was traveling with couldn't... More

I was also staying at this very same B&B with the above reviewer (CVictor from Spain, and I'm from Singapore). We were situated in opposite rooms, come from almost exactly opposite sides of the world, have never met before this, staying for different periods (mine was 3 weeks, longer than his!) - but our feelings of Blue's B&B are the...

I´ve been to several places for leisure and work purposes, in the last 20 years, in three continents. I´ve been in luxury five star resorts, business hotels, motels, but never in a B&B. When I had to participate in a Harvard simposium, I gave Blue´s a try and it worked perfectly for me. I guess it´s a matter of common... More

Lots of positives about this place: all the essentials are offered (wifi, cable tv, a really exceptional breakfast, hosts who take seriously the idea of b&b hospitality). The room where I stayed was large, quiet, and tree-shaded, and the bed was comfortable. It's a challenge to find lodging at this price in this location. The immediate neighborhood is quiet, affluent,... More

Thanks so much for your feedback, and glad you found the rooms comfortable. We have now installed individual locks on each guestroom door. The walk to the T is 6 minutes, 1/3 mile, but the B&B is even closer to University's shuttle bus to Harvard Square & Oxford St. science buildings--so very convenient for anyone visiting the University. Hope we'll... More
