Pros +

  • It was quaint and clean. The room was the perfect size to fit our family of four. The staff was nice and the complimentary breakfast was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!
  • The room is very clean, and the staff is very nice. We will definitely come again
  • Location and breakfast.

Cons -

  • no
  • Bathrooms are not cleaned well, missing body washes, sampoo, etc. There is no hot water during the second day of stay and there is no token of compensation for the inconvenience.
  • My room was on the FOURTH floor and although the listing did state no elevator, I had no idea my room would be 47 stairs up -- that would have been a useful detail in the listing. Bathroom was teeny tiny.

The location could not be beat, it was just a short walk to the main Harvard campus and Harvard Square. We booked only a few days prior to our trip so I paid a much higher price than what I see for this same property a few weeks ahead of travel.
My room was on the FOURTH floor and although the listing did state no elevator, I had no idea my room would be 47 stairs up -- that would have been a useful detail in the listing. Bathroom was teeny tiny.
