This was a Karen Brown recommendation, and we had high expectations. Stayed here for 2 nights during a HOT July week, and our first impression was quite positive - the air conditioning worked very well! We were in Room 5, which has it's own entrance from the street. The room was nicely and tastefully appointed, although there were a number of little things that could have made the experience better:
(1) The lock on the ground floor, street-facing window was broken, making us feel slightly insecure (I've lived in Cambridge!)
(2) There was no bathroom vent - unusual these days.
(3) The single overhead lamp in the bathroom was not sufficient.
(4) A nice large king bed, but only one side table. I would have traded for a queen bed and two tables.
(5) A little kitchenette, but not even a tea cup or glass! Just a bare fridge and little sink.
(6) Marginal noise insulation between adjoining rooms. We had a (locked) connecting door with a room behind us, and could clearly hear every word spoken in the room.

On the other hand, the service was good, especially the breakfast, which was excellent and quickly serviced.

Overall, it was nice, but I expected more for over $240/night, having just come from a suite hotel in the same general area costing $139/night. Perhaps the other rooms represent a better value.

I should have written this sooner but better late than never. Stayed here a night and it was so charming. Such a pretty house, and the staff was very friendly. My boyfriend and I stayed in Room 12, small room but it had a round window which took up almost the entire wall, it was very impressive. We actually got snowed in and had to stay an extra night. Breakfast was delicous and they have a cat who was a sweetie. Staying again next weekend. Within walking distance to some restaurants and the T.

One small issue, limited on premises parking and I was supposed to leave early but my car was blocked in. Had to wait a few hours for people to leave.

I stayed for almost 5 weeks here and really thought the place was lovely. Rooms were cosy with Cable TV and wireless internet access. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was nice and afternnon tea was served between 3 and 7 with fresh home-baked goodies. Convenient to both Harvard and Porter Sq (Porter Square is a bit closer). No elevator however, so beware if you have heavy luggage, though staff are willing to assist you. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely room in a sweet inn. The parking was easy, but a bit tight. The breakfast was exceptional and comfortable in a beautiful dining room. Easy walk to Harvard Law School and Harvard Square.
