Rosalind and Dominic are extremely friendly, welcoming hosts in their wonderfully unusual Victorian Gothic house, a treasury of art and books and interesting objects. Get them to tell you about their adventures around the world and afloat! The whole house is a symphony of odd angles and nooks - a house not quite of seven gables but quite a few, a building with a personality of its own. The room is extremely simple but very comfortable, cosy and quiet - I slept really well and as an insomniac that meant a lot to me. You can't fully self-cater in it (not that I wanted to) because there's no means of cooking, but there's a fridge, sink, electric kettle, counter, table, plus basic stuff for dining if you bring home take-out or other food. The neighbourhood on their quiet leafy street is attractive and pleasant, and the location off Massachusetts Avenue is great - about 20 minutes on foot from Harvard Square, 10 from Porter Square, and Mass Ave has plenty of amenities including some very cool and funky retro/vintage shops. This is a very charming place to stay and at a very reasonable rate - I will return with pleasure next time I'm in the area.
