This is an old fashioned bed & breakfast. The location is superb, five minutes walk from Harvard University square and ten from the Harvard Red Line Subway station. The double room was a bit small but comfortable. The bathroom was ok, with plenty of hot water, but again a bit small. Breakfast in the basement dining room was really good, with plenty of hot and cold choices. There was also a fridge, microwave and kettle available down there for guest use. Service at the desk was friendly and helpful, and there was a handy little lounge opposite reception. We would definitely stay there again.
