Stayed here for two nights in July and enjoyed it very much. Our room was large and comfortable (the bed, especially, was terrific). I've seen other reviews about the cleanliness; I did notice dust in the common areas, but our room was spotless and the bathroom was squeaky clean. I wish I'd had time to take a bath in the wonderful claw-foot tub.

The breakfasts were good, with plenty of variety. Fresh scones, fruit salad, a hot dish each morning, a variety of cereals and muesli, fresh bread and jam-- everything you could want to start your day. There's a small kitchen area upstairs, too, with coffee, tea, and soda available 24 hours. Very handy.

The dogs are friendly and very well-behaved, though the younger one keeps an eye on your breakfast!

The location couldn't be better-- a quick walk to a bus, or a slightly longer walk to a T stop. I liked not staying in downtown Boston; it's much more economical than staying downtown and then having to pay for parking on top of the hotel. (The Taylor House has parking on the property.) The area around the B&B has great restaurants and cafes and is a lovely neighborhood.

We'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed for two nights, 5 days apart, in two different rooms. Both rooms were nicely appointed, especially the Taylor Room.
When we arrived, Dave checked us in but did not offer to help us with our luggage on either of our visits. That surprised me as we were quite tired from traveling and we are not youngsters. After a few minutes, Daryl came in to help. He was very polite and we found him to be the only one available to help at any time. Dave was always busy on his computer, but was cordial when we asked him for directions and such.
Our biggest concern was that the place just wasn't clean. There was dust all over the place and it was not something that had just happened recently. We were so surprised to read some of the other reviews where people mentioned how clean the house was since it just wasn't the case at all. The kitchen/breakfast room needed a good cleaning. Our impression was that the house is in a period of slow decline, which we found to be a shame. It is a lovely old house with some attractive features from extensive renovation, but it could detiorate quickly if allowed to do so.
The location is fine if you don't need to be in the city itself, and is only about 8 miles from the airport. It is in an area of pretty heavy traffic at times. There is a variety of restaurants within walking distance.
The dogs were sweet and very friendly.

Stayed at This Bed and Breaksfast for 2 nights. It did not have the comfortable ambience of usual B & B's. You were renting a room and that was it. Miminmal interaction with the hosts. To us they rented out a room and it was not what we expected of a B and B. Unfortunately they double booked our room. The hosts were rarely there. Locaility was ok with a ten minute walk to the train. Local dining was good. Not much to see around here, have to go into the city. The streetscape is lovely but it all happens in the city.

We just spent a few days at Taylor House in Boston last weekend and we attended the Yankees/Sox game. We loved Taylor House. A few things we really enjoyed:

1 - It is not in downtown Boston. It is in a very quaint area and the houses surrounding it are very pretty and old fashioned.

2 - It is a short walk to shops and restaurants if you don't feel like driving.

3 - It cost us $12 to take a cab to Fenway so we didn't have to find parking near the stadium.

4 - Our room was so pretty and quaint.

5 - The bed was honestly extremely comfortable. I wouldn't normally comment on how a bed feels but this bed was exceptional.

6 - Another kind of odd thing to comment on - the bathroom fixtures - we loved them. The shower and the sink have outstanding water pressure and the shower/tub has really outstanding kind of old fashioned spray things that make the shower kind of unique.

7 - Breakfast was great, buffet style, and served late in case you want to sleep in.

8 - The Golden Retrievers are the sweetest dogs and very very friendly.

Overall we loved Taylor House and would definitely go back.
