I have stayed in this lovely B&B in July and it was a good experience. The location is located close to Harvard square, the host was very friendly, the breakfast (waffles, crepes etc) and the quality of sleep were good. When I am in Cambridge, I'm usually staying at the Inn at Harvard or the Charles Hotel but these hotels were fully booked. It means that my stay at the B&B was a totally new experience. The bathrooms and toilets are shared but cleaned regularly (it wasn't really a problem for me). Wireless internet and cable TV are included in the rates (which is a good thing because hotels in the area typically charge $10 per day for the internet). The rooms have different layouts and sizes so watch out if you need space.
Overall a good experience but unfortunately with some Cons:
- overpriced especially during summer time (OK it's Cambridge but for a few additional dollars per night, it's possible to stay at a hotel or to rent a short-term apartment);
- the premises need a lot of renovation (it was obviously an old building).
- proximity of the rooms may be deranging for some;
- need to walk around 15 min in order to reach the Subway;
- too few restaurants around, you basically need to go to Harvard square in order to find decent food (15 min walk);
- no parking (and parking on the street in Cambridge is almost impossible especially if you have a rental car)

This B&B is located just outside Harvard Unviversity and is conviently located on bus lines and near the subway. The rooms are clean and the beds have high quality mattresses. The place is quite and offers a great sleep. The proprietors are genuenly interesting and know much of the history of the area. They are eat very healthy food and provide homemade bread and granola and fresh pineapple with every breakfast. They also prepare fresh oat waffles with yogurt and strawberrys. I loved the homemade granola and had it every morning. The quarters are small but quaint. The rooms are also small but classy. The only disadvantage is the single shared bath between three rooms. I had to wait in line two of the four days I was there. If you want a healthy stay, this is the place. I'm heathier for having stayed!

I echo many of the sentiments seen here. I stayed here a few weeks back, and was appalled at the conditions. The linens were incredibly old, the bathroom was tiny, and shared by everyone in the B & B, which includes the proprietor and her husband. I felt unwelcome and stalked during the visit, like every movement was being watched. The walls are in terrible condition as well. I would never stay here.

I stayed at the B & B during a conference. It is well situated, close to the action but not so close that it gets noisy in the street. The rooms are small but charming, the hosts very welcoming and flexible. You'll be welcomed with a cup of tea and good advice on what to visit depending on your interests.
The breakfasts served were good - I particularly recommend the spicy peach jam on home made raisin bread. Hmm hmm.
The only downside was that the universityw was doing some work on the other side of the street while I was there, starting the machinery at 7AM. Nothing my hosts could do about.
