Very charming!

This is a charming B&B located in the heart of Davis Square. The service is excellent! There is home made quick bread (e.g., banana) every morning for breakfast, plus a full array of other breakfast items. French press coffee. Because it's an historic home, the bedrooms are of different sizes. No lift, but the manager kindly carried my suitcase upstairs. There are games and books. I would stay again.

Wonderful stay

I stayed a couple of days at the Davies inn and then moved to the Morrison . It was a wonderful stay . The area is peaceful and a block away from the T that will bring you in central in less than 30 min. The place is very calm and has a homy feel . I had breakfast everyday with perfect strangers and had the most pleasant conversations that I will remember . If I ever come back to Boston I will stay there again

Quiet, convenient

Great, quiet experience. Loved the housecat (who is not allowed in rooms due to allergy concerns). Really liked Davis Square nearby.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff provided this help when asking for directions "Google it". Was not allowed to have air conditioning because the remotes were put up for the season. Breakfast consists of hard-boiled eggs, cereal, a pastry, and coffee. For the amount of money, it was not worth it.

the location was perfect- brought me back to my happy place when i lived in Somerville 25 years ago! parking was a huge plus, the inn itself was just beautiful inside and out, the feline was the most adorable zany little meatball, and Linde baked the best Irish soda bread i have ever had. EVER. i stayed in the Little Room, proof that they make even the smallest space comfortable. one note- the bed has a huge pillowtop, so it is on the softer side for those that need to know. pick HERE- you will thank me for it.

Ron and Linde made our stay like staying at home. The best part is breakfast; they freshly make different bakery every day, together with fruit salad, yogurt, sourdough bread, variant juices, boiled eggs, their breakfast is even better than what we have at home. Their dinning and living rooms are always welcoming to guests. Sometimes their lovely cat would stay there accompanying you for a while too. The house is bit old, like every other houses in that area. But they make it very clean. The location is very good, half mile away from Davis square. We would definitely stay here again if we come to Boston again.

It is what it is

It was a nice place to stay but no ESPN and the breakfast was lacking. Owners were not home. But Maria was great. Stairs were steep and narrow which made it a little hard for us.
