I am convinced that Phil's place is the best location and best value in Cambridge. His mother, Joyce, is a great hostess--respectful, helpful, and thoughtful. The room is comfortable and the access to the kitchen makes it easy to avoid eating in restaurants for every meal. Everything was as described. I must emphasize that the location is amazing--a less than 5 minute walk to Harvard Yard and less than 10 minutes to the T. Joyce is very knowledgeable about Harvard, Cambridge, and Boston sights and her advice enhanced our trip. We will definitely book again.
