I was in town to volunteer at a music festival and this stay was p-e-r-f-e-c-t. I had the single room with private toilet for two nights. It was a perfect 10. It reminded me of what b&B in Europe always was: a nice room in a nice house at a fair price. The room was spotlessly clean, came with towels and extra blanket if need be, there were good lights for reading, ac or heat if you needed it. Location between MIT and Harvard Square was perfect, very safe, close to anything, but I had my bicycle so everything feels closer, I never had a problem parking my truck and parked within a couple hundred feet max or just across from the house. I had to come and go a fair amount and access was very easy. Bathroom/ shower were great/ again: spotless and zero in the funky department. The hosts are welcoming and easy going. I would recommend staying here to anyone. One word of caution: the hot water is really hot. Careful. :)
