Our stay was wonderful! Check in was so efficient, the room was beautiful and comfortable, Linde was so welcoming and helpful, breakfast was great, and chatting with Linde and the other guests was interesting and fun. We will definitely be back should we go to Boston again!
This was a well priced option near Cambridge and walking distance to Davis Square. We stayed here for a few nights to visit friends and had a very comfortable experience. Would stay again!
Great stay, reasonable price for being close to Downtown Boston and easy to access transportation. Clean room and shared bathroom, 24/7 air conditioned. Would stay again.
Excellent location, close to Davis Square and Tufts which was our reason for visiting. Short walk to the T to get into downtown Boston and many fine restaurants nearby. House was in great shape and there was a pleasant sitting room which even had a cat to pet.
I had a lovely time at the Davies Inn. It was really quaint and comfortable. My room was nice , the bed was really comfortable. I really enjoyed the daily coffee French press at breakfast . Definitely recommend if you look for something quiet
The Davis Inn was lovely to stay at. Close by a lot of coffee cafes, bars , and a grocery store.
The house self is in well taken care of beautiful inside and out.
Ron one of the owners was very helpful and communicated well and was very helpful.
There is breakfast options with Eggs, Yogurt and Bannas and cereal and etc. Perfect location for a New England get away .
There is TV with Roku in it so can watch Netflix and Hulu.
The Davis Station for the Train is right around the corner a five minute walk at most.
Would definitely stay again when visiting Boston Metro

Ok except one pretty big thing
Room was comfy, breakfast was good, innkeeper was not as friendly as we are used to when staying at a B&B. But the problem was the very strong smell of animal urine that permeated the downstairs and the 2nd floor where our room was. It wasn't subtle - it was bad.
Dear Susan, Linde and Rod, thank you very much for the wonderful time in your B&B. I really enjoyed the cosy breakfasts with fresh cake and the nice evening discussions with the other guests. See you soon. With kind regards from Stralsund, Edgar

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.
Perfect place while visiting our son in the area. You can easily walk or take public transportation most places, including to/from the airport. My husband is Gluten Free and they even had a special GF muffin for him in the morning! Comfy beds, fabulous room, well appointed. Loved meeting others when getting breakfast. Great hosts! I will definitely stay again!
