Let me begin with a handful of summary adjectives:
Quiet. Comfortable. Drama-free. Safe. Impeccably clean. Convenient to all-things Harvard.
Having checked off this "Maslow's Hierarchy" of creature comforts, let me offer a few additional observations—the characteristics that truly distinguish this place:
Like its gracious proprietor this uncommonly charming property is a testament to professionalism, good taste, and hospitality. Every detail is evidence of the attention and care that went into its design and management. If you value the aesthetic experience of staying in a respectfully updated classic property, you'll find that Beth's boutique does not disappoint.
First rate. Highly recommended. I was sorry to say goodbye.
Footnotes:
B&B reviews are—by their nature—subjective; what's important to one person may be scarcely noticed by another. With that in mind, let me add these additional notes:
Television: I cannot speak to the amenities in other rooms; my room, however, did not have a television. (I didn't miss this distraction; on the contrary, I appreciated the quietude. Nevertheless, this detail may be important to others.)
Breakfast: If you're interested in the "and B" aspect of a B&B experience, you should know that neither breakfast nor coffee are available here. (Who cares? Starbucks is just around the corner.)
