I wounded my forehead reaching for the coffee pot in the basement passageway. You must put some padding there or some sign to explain the risk!

Really quiet, affordable, good breakfast. Overall i had a peaceful stay. My only suggestion is that the employees wear less cologne when walking through the breakfast area in the morning. It made the food taste like the guy’s cologne.

Affordable bed and breakfast for 1 very near Harvard. Clean, comfortable bed. Nearest shared bath small but doable. Other nearby shared bath much larger. Nice variety of breakfast fare. Would definitely return and recommend.

6/10 Okay

Kyra

Liked: Staff & service
It was an easy walk to my son's house so that's why I choose it. The breakfast was lovely and the cookies in the afternoon with tea I loved. It felt more like a youth hostel though especially since I got a room without a bathroom and was quite small. Also, the hinges on the doors needed greasing as every single door made a squeaking sound and I could hear them from my room. Also, I could hear the people walking in the room above me early in the morning so I had a so-so amount of sleep.

The property is located very close to the Harvard Campus and is a nice building. The bathrooms are shared and the toilet paper ran out during the night. There is also no shampoo provided which would be nice. There is a free breakfast but apart from the fruit and oatmeal was pretty much inedible. There were some egg style things which tasted horrible. It would be better not to provide breakfast than do one of that quality. It is easy to reach on the subway line.
