Excellent location, great for running along the river, getting good coffee & breakfast sandwiches at Darwin’s (<5 min walk), and heading into Harvard Square (10 min) or Harvard University (15 min). The place is an older style and a bit less fancy than others I’ve stayed at in Cambridge but is completely comfortable and has everything you need. The bedrooms were spacious with nice river views. As a light sleeper I was worried about traffic noise based on some of the other reviews, but actually it wasn’t bad at all. The third floor location really helps, the traffic never seemed very heavy and was more of a background white noise. I would comfortably return!
