    Excellent, the hosts are very kind, and there's an all-you-can-eat bar!! The location is perfect and close to the T-line subway. It definitely will be the hum whenever I visit Cambridge, Boston.

    The experience is more like an airbnb than a hotel, but it comes with the bonus that you can rely on the owners for help as needed, they are very kind and helpful. The amenities are simply those of a private house. In practice it's well arranged...

    Charming older guest inn, right next to MIT, near bus line to Harvard and Back Bay. Very nice and helpful innkeeper (Marc) who keeps the communal guest kitchen stocked with goodies like homemade dumplings and French Toast!
