I stayed in the Scholar room which is in the basement. It has a loud dehumidifier. Breakfast was English Muffin, Orange Juice and coffee delivered to the room. It is better when you stay in a B&B when there is a breakfast room. The worst thing was that I was gone all day and when I returned the bed wasn't... More

Charming, comfortable & clean. Truly felt like I was coming "home" in the evenings. Great location & wonderful host. Enjoyed the uniqueness of breakfast delivered via dumbwaiter to my room at exactly the time I requested.

Hi, My wife and I needed a place to stay in Cambridge for an job interview. This is a very well located B&B in the middle of Cambridge. The service was impecable. If there was a little complaint it is the a little bit hard bed for these visitors in their mid fifties.

Parkside on Ellery was a surprise. I found a place I was looking forward to coming back after a day out in Boston. A continental breakfast that reaches your room in the morning through a great internal little elevator, a room full of light where you can sit or read at your desk, a large comfortable bed for a quiet...

This Victorian B&B offers easy walk to Harvard, Harvard Square. The room was charming with nice neighborhood views and light. It is an excellent value. It was quite private and quiet- we did not run into any of the neighbors in 3 nights. I left a night light there, by accident and the owner mailed it to me ! Extraordinary... More

As a first time visitor to Boston, David's warmth and attention for detail made for a truly memorable four night stay. I'd chosen the Cambridge Room and was delighted by the large King size bed, lovely windows and view, and the (very) special delivery each morning of my breakfast via personal dumbwaiter! Parkside on Ellery is 6 minutes walk from... More

We spent two nights at the Parkside on Ellery B&B in Cambridge MA in November 2012 and it was perfect. Beautifully appointed, quiet and comfortable, so convenient to Cambridge sights - very very nice. I highly recommend this B&B and would stay there again happily.

My husband and I stayed in Unit 2 for a week. A week is a long time to stay in a room but it was really nice. The King Bed was very comfortable. The best part of our stay was the breakfast that was served in the room. It was sent to our room through the dumbwaiter type of elevator... More

This really is a great location. It is walking distance to Harvard Square and the ‘T’ which serves the greater Boston area. This is a historic old house – circa 1870’s. We stayed 8 nights and did a considerable amount of travel both with and without a car from this location. Parking on the street with a permit supplied by... More

I love this Inn! Well located near Harvard Square, has beautiful rooms, and David is the best host you could ask for. I can't wait to return! My partner and I stayed in the Victorian Room this time which is large and beautifully decorated. Two years ago I stayed in the Scholar's Room - very nicely decorated also but much... More
