Excellent Inn!

Perfect place while visiting our son in the area. You can easily walk or take public transportation most places, including to/from the airport. My husband is Gluten Free and they even had a special GF muffin for him in the morning! Comfy beds, fabulous room, well appointed. Loved meeting others when getting breakfast. Great hosts! I will definitely stay again!

Excellent location, close to Davis Square and Tufts which was our reason for visiting. Short walk to the T to get into downtown Boston and many fine restaurants nearby. House was in great shape and there was a pleasant sitting room which even had a cat to pet.

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Ok except one pretty big thing

Room was comfy, breakfast was good, innkeeper was not as friendly as we are used to when staying at a B&B. But the problem was the very strong smell of animal urine that permeated the downstairs and the 2nd floor where our room was. It wasn't subtle - it was bad.
