Beth is a welcoming, relaxed, thoughtful hostess, and her house is a gem--a beautifully maintained Victorian just off Massachusetts Avenue, and down the street from Lesley University and the northern Harvard campus. A 10-minute walk to Harvard Square. Back to the house: it's clean, characterful, and SOLID as only a classic Victorian can be, with high ceilings and a feeling of old-world graciousness. My room was entirely satisfactory, with a very comfy bed and pillows, ample storage space, and those uplifting high ceilings. The only thing I wished for was a slightly higher and more spacious table to work at (put it where the mirror is, Beth! :-) ). Overall, however, this is absolutely a five-star place, and you'll be lucky to get a reservation there.
