This was an excellent location for us as a family as we wanted to be near the T to travel into downtown Boston to see the touristy things and also near Harvard to visit my niece in the evening.There are great diners and coffee shops around Harvard.I agree it is expensive but no more so than other accomodation and hotels...

This Inn is in Cambridge - so I guess it is only overpriced compared to what you would get elsewhere (by quite a bit). There don't seem to be a lot of options to stay in this area that are affordable. At $275/night (tax included) my expectations are a bit higher than what was offered - not particularly interested or... More

Firstly, I'd suggest that this was a hotel rather than a B&B, certainly compared to some of the other B&Bs we'd experienced on our trip to New England. The desk staff are very friendly, the room was fine, and its location is good. The breakfast lets it down a little: not very much choice and the pastries were a little... More

They are spacious, well appointed and are priced well. The staff is friendly and welcoming. You can walk almost everywhere in town & there is parking so you can leave your... More

My husband, son and I recently stayed at Harding House and really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, the bed comfortable and welcoming and the location was great (less than a mile from Harvard Square) We loved this visit and we will be back!

i agree with everything that has been written on the other reviews. the place is charming and cosy. i'd like to add that i saw 3 rooms and they were all big and comfortable. my bathroom was very comfortable, well lit and there was even a night lamp in case you get up in the middle of the night and...

My family of 4 stayed in the family room unit, which had 1 queen bed and 2 twins, in July 2012. This was perfect for our tall sons and a very difficult arrangement to find in all of Boston! The location was ideal as we were within comfortable walking distance to many restaurants, Harvard, and the T (subway). We bought... More
