We needed to take a spur of the moment trip up to Cambridge (from Long Island). We were going to book a hotel, but found this B&B instead. The rate was more reasonable than the hotels, and just a few blocks from Harvard. Really conveniently located. We booked a queen bed room, but they upgraded us to a king at... More

Great location, right near Harvard, and a short walk from the Harvard Square T station. The B&B is on the third floor of a beautiful old Cambridge brownstone. The staff was friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed the interesting conversation over breakfast. The room was clean, with free wi-fi and TV. The bed was comfortable, the shared bathroom was well-appointed,... More

If you're looking for a glossy, face-less hotel, this isn't it. If you insist on en-suite and 'all you can eat' breakfasts, this won't suit you at all. But we certainly weren't looking for these things. We wanted character, a warm welcome, freedom and creative inspiration and this B and B delivered in spades. The third floor of a Cambridge... More

"A true home away from home! A B&B in Cambridge is a warm and welcoming environment that lacks all feeling of transiency. An ideal solution for a weary traveler. Hosts Doane Perry and Karen Carmean are respected members of the Cambridge Community for more than 30 yrs. Thoughtful, kind and helpful. Genuinely concerned about the safety and well-being of each...

Thanks for all. I enjoyed my stay at your B&B a lot. Nice conversations, yammi breakfast, clean rooms, all located in a very good area. Very friendly people. It really felt like home. Hope to be back there again.

The room is clean also the bathroom and everything, though there's only one bathroom for all guests. The breakfast is very good, way better than expected. The best thing is the location, 7-10 minutes walk to Harvard square station and the bus stop is right in front of the place. I really enjoyed my stay and thanks for the kindness... More

The single bathroom situation, shared with 6 people (one being the innkeeper), was an immediate deal breaker. If the owners had been in town, we would have had 8 people sharing one bathroom. We tried to leave, but all the hotels in the area were booked because of college students moving in! Since our group occupied all three available rooms,... More

I spent a great week at the B & B in Cambridge. I felt very welcomed by the staff. The best part of my stay was the excellent directions that I received from Karen during my time in Cambridge and Boston. She asked me what my interests were in terms of sightseeing and then gave accurate directions to get to... More

The house is lovely and the guest rooms are charming - obviously furnished with love, care and thought for the comfort of guests. From the moment you walk through the front door you have the undivided attention of the owners of the B and B. They couldn’t be more solicitous. They not only help with getting around in Boston, but... More

Very nice place to stay, very well located, 5 minutes of walk from Harvard and from the subway. Rooms are clean and the innkeeper and her assistant were very nice. Breakfast was great. Met very interesting people there. Innkeeper was good to start conversation with other residents. It is sure that it is a share bathroom, but we didn't have... More
