I recently had the pleasure of staying at 'Smack Dab' and had a wonderful stay. Connie is a fantastic host - warm and generous which instantly makes you feel at home. The room is lovely and a perfect place to study if you need to do so. I had access to everything I needed - kitchen, laundry etc etc. The location could not be better a short 15min walk to Harvard Square and with an fantastic cafe on Mass Ave just around the corner with perfect expresso. It is a very safe neighbourhood and as a single woman travelling I felt very safe walking home along well lit streets. I would certainly recommend Connie's hospitality - its great.
