Small chic boutique hotel centrally located short distance from Harvard Square shops and restaurants. The staff was fantastic-welcoming, hospitable, and super helpful.
This is a well kept secret. Definitely 10/10!

The property was beautiful, and everything had an amazing attention to detail. It really felt like a luxury B&B, and not a hotel. So close to everything at Harvard Square!
