    Staying in a National Historic designated 20 room house was like staying in someone's home. Very well renovated and some thoughtful upscale touches. That wallpaper was devine. Loved our room with the round window!!! The neighbour was wonderful too.

    Is there any breakfast provided? We did not get any breakfast thought. Love the well design for the house, very lovely and cossy.

    This hotel is a little gem, hidden almost within Harvard university grounds. The size of the room was the best, along with the quiet and nicely decorated lobby.

    Brilliant location, walking distance to Porter Square and Harvard Square. Instructions for checking in and accessing the building were clear and staff responded quickly when I had other questions. Very comfortable room and facilities.

    I liked the style, you feel like living in a frat house of the 50s, there is a lot going on (restaurantes and stores) along the the street just a couple o minutes away, it is a very quiet neighborhood, within a 10 minute walk to Harvard Law School

    Cleanliness, lovely details from the decor to the coffee table books in the common area and the coffee machines. I liked how easy it was to check in with the code. The courtyard was also very charming.

    Olde world charm coupled with ultra-modern self-service.
