The hotel is a charming B&B in a safe and quiet area, with convenient access to the Red Line MBTA station for easy access to Cambridge and Boston. There are also amenties in Davis Square itself including bars, restaurants and the Somerville Theater. The room was very clean and well maintained. The communal area is very quaint with a large dining table for enjoying breakfast with the other guests, and a selection of books, games and DVDs for borrowing during the stay. Breakfast includes bread with toaster, peanut butter, honey and coffee laid out as well as eggs, fruit, jams and yoghurts in the fridge, and homemade bakes on the table. A cat lives in the hotel but doesn't go into the rooms. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay. However, be advised that the building isn't manned by staff 24/7. Instead, entry is secured via a key code on the outside doors as well as your room itself. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with my booking outside of my control and I was unable to gain access to the property when I arrived. After contacting Expedia to explain my situation they were able to inform one of the staff who rectified the issue and let me in. I was fortunate that this happened mid-afternoon and was easily resolved but had I arrived late at night this may have been a problem. For this reason, I would recommend contacting the hotel before arriving to make sure your booking and entry is confirmed, particularly if like me you are arriving from outside the US or Canada.

It is clean and quiet, but not convenient. If you have lot of luggage it will be hard because there's no elevator for 2nd and 3rd floor room. If you stay more than one or two days， there is no laundry facility either. The 3rd floor room is essentially attic room

Room was a little musty.

The house was nice. But our room had a musty smell to it. Not sure if it was from the a/c or the carpeting in the room. But other than that we found the bed nice and the location was good for getting into downtown.

The room was cozy and bathroom was clean and shower was great. It's a house and not super sound proof so the mornings are a little noisy with everyone getting up and doing their morning routine so if you're a light/ late sleeper this may not be the best spot for you. The upside is that it definitely feels nice being in a house and not a sterile hotel. The morning snacks like fresh banana bread were great and the tea selection was really good as well. I was pleasantly surprised that there was parking on site which was a bonus. The Davis Square neighborhood is great- lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, pizza and even a 100 year old movie theater and music venue all within a few blocks- and buses and subway 2 blocks away (and 2 BlueBike rental kiosks within 2 blocks). I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely book again.
