Middlemarch Room was the perfect stay for my Harvard graduation ceremonies. I really appreciated the swift replies from Kay and John to my initial queries. They were very accommodating, allowing us to drop our bags before the check-in time. The location is great ~ close to a great b'fast/lunch restaurant John suggested, and there's a grocery store a short walk away. The room is charming and very much as described and seen in the photos. The mattresses helped us sleep well. The other guests were very friendly, as we passed occasionally on the stairs. You may notice the sound of planes taking off in the distance, depending on which runways are being used ~ it is not troublesome. There is a generous supply of necessities in the bathroom. If you like quaint, old, and whimsical, this may just be the place for you.
