A room at the top is just as described. Our host, Joan, was very accommodating. She left detailed instructions for checking in and left us a note that answered all questions anyone could have had. Joan made herself available to us if we needed anything however was not overly obtrusive in any way. She was quick to respond any time we needed to contact her and even let us drop our luggage off early before check in time. The room is attached to the main house, but has a private entrance and does not share any spaces with the main house - very private. The bathroom may be shared during weekdays as there is an office on the same floor as the guest room, however we stayed on the weekend so we had the place to ourselves. The house is in a quiet neighborhood in Cambridge, a nice and easy 10 minute walk to the Porter Square subway station. The room was clean and provided everything we needed and more with coffee and breakfast available right in the room. Would definitely recommend this place for 1-2 people who may be visiting Boston without having to pay the expensive rates found in the city proper.
