If you are coming to Cambridge to visit or explore Harvard University and the charms of Cambridge, MA, this is the guest house you should book. Clean, private, but yet so centrally located and laid back, you are gently eased into the hubbub of an inexhaustible Harvard Square, bustling with students, commuters and visitors. The hosts are kind and professional, but allow for and respect your complete independence, if that is what you prefer. The main and guest house locations would be a great place to read, relax or watch a movie while recharging before your next Harvard/Cambridge/Boston adventure. The rooms and beds are a very nice size. I stayed in the guest house, where a bathroom is shared among 1 or 2 other guests (I slept too late for that to happen) -but I never felt uncomfortable, even upon arriving late on a very rainy, dark night, and I enjoyed the expanse of space in a sitting area that offered magazines, snacks and coffee.
