This was our first time at a B&B, so we were a little apprehensive going in. Although we only stayed for a short weekend, we loved our accomodations. It was like staying with your favorite brother or sister. The bed and breakfast is charming. It is situated in a beautiful quiet residential neighborhood but within walking distance to shopping,dining, and... More

Recently we stayed at "On the Park B & B" located in a quiet, residential neighborhood of Brookline with lovely mature trees lining the streets. We had a tastefully decorated, private room with a very comfortable queen sized bed on the top floor of this beautiful, clean home belonging to Betsy and Carlos. Our bathroom was one floor down from... More

We have been staying at this B and B on our monthly visits to Boston, and have enjoyed it in every respect. "Our" bedroom is very comfortable, with ample closet and dresser space, as well as night tables. The bathroom is not ensuite but directly across the hall, and reserved for the occupants of this bedroom. The breakfast is simple... More

We stayed at On the Park on a trip to visit friends who had just had a baby. We got the winter special, which was an incredible value. The house was large and comfortable. Our room was warm, well-lit, and had a firm but comfortable bed. The bathroom was detached, but I was notified about that ahead of time, and... More

you'd drive right buy this homey B and B and just think it's part of this Boston neighborhood. And that's it's charm. When you go inside and meet Marcos and Betsy, it just feels like coming home for a visit with the family. Maybe its because they raised their large family in what is now a spacious and warm B...

My wife and I rented one room, and a daughter and her friend shared another as we visited Boston area family. The breakfast room has a charming collection of pottery, and a gas-fired fireplace. Breakfasts featured world-class granola and fresh fruit cocktail, bagels and artisan breads, cream cheese and jam. The two bedrooms we occupied were modest in size but... More

My husband and I spent the first night together here and then I spent the next 2 nights here by myself while he recovered from surgery at a nearby Boston hospital. Given the circumstances, It could not have been a more pleasant stay - Marcos and Betsy were warm and welcoming from the moment we showed up. On the Park... More

On the Park felt like home away from home. Hosts, Betsy and Marcos were very welcoming and provided me with a warm and friendly place to unwind. Located on a quiet street overlooking a lovely park, this B & B offers the perfect respite after a busy day! I'm looking forward to my next stay there.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at On The Park during a work trip to Boston. We enjoyed our stay, and would happily stay there again. But it wasn't so special that we wouldn't explore other options, too. As everybody else mentions, the hosts Betsy and Marcos are a very charming couple. They raised their kids in the house,... More

I had the pleasure of staying at On the Park last summer, and when I returned this year for the Head of the Charles, I knew I wanted to stay here again. From the B&B, you can easily take the 66 bus right to Harvard Square to watch the regatta or explore the many restaurants. The hosts, Marcos and Betsy,... More
