This place was just perfect for our trip to Cambridge. It has everything we needed and frankly was such a wonderful experience. It is very well thought out and has all the amenities one would need. It really felt like living at a home-away-from-home. If the prices are competitive I don't think one can get a better place to stay in all of Cambridge, of course this is not a hotel so no facilities like a gym/pool etc. But in every other way this was the PERFECT accommodation, don't think we have been as pleasantly surprised anywhere else. It is in a nice location, close to the subway and lots of restaurants etc. but also in a quiet part of the neighborhood. Breakfast was easy and nice with great coffee too. All day availability was also such a plus. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Nothing, if we were to nit pick then since the rooms are on the first floor (2nd if you're from the US!) you will need to carry your bags up the stairs. There is a cat that comes in to the house (very friendly too!) but if you're allergic then that could be an issue.

We had a wonderful stay at Davis Square Inn. The location is extremely convenient — just a short walk from the Boston Red Line station, making it easy to access the central parts of Boston. Davis Square itself is a vibrant and lively neighborhood, filled with students and a great local energy. Tufts University is within walking distance, and Harvard is just a short ride away. Our room was clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured on their website. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast featuring high-quality fresh bread, fruits, yogurt, orange juice, and scrambled eggs, along with pressed coffee available for guests. It created a perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing meal and connect with other travelers — we really enjoyed the conversations and friendly atmosphere each morning. An added charm was the gentle resident cat, who made the stay feel even more welcoming and home-like. Overall, Davis Square Inn is a lovely bed and breakfast with thoughtful touches, warm hospitality, and a fantastic location. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Boston area.

No

I thought there was a conviviality among guests. Place very clean. MANY instructions about place posted and it was easy to navigate breakfast as well as coming/going without need for keys etc Bathroom was well supplied and the robe in the closet was a real help

Room very small. Price point was a bit high for the room with shared bathroom, but understand this was commencement weekend. There is a cat and I am allergic, but was informed about it. Took my meds, but still had issues. I was put on 3rd floor. Am high functioning but climbing narrow steps with luggage is tough. I could have asked for an accommodation, but did not think it was needed. It was. The eaves in the third floor room required my alertness when I got up from the desk.

Davis Square was a real home away from home - it felt intimate and yet I didnt feel impinged on by other guests. The kitchen area was welcoming - there were muffins - and hot water, plenty of tea etc. on tap. The lounge area was comfortable with a good selection of books and the resident cat (who I particularly liked). The room was well equipped and the space was well used. There were plenty of hangers for clothes, a desk and chair for working, a fridge, tissues, recyling bin (never had this before!). Ron and Linde were discreet but every present hosts. Highly recommended.

Clean room and clean bathroom

My daughter and I were given the Prospect Hill Room on the third floor. Room was tiny and barely no space to move. Further I had forgotten to ask for a room on the first floor as we had 5 pieces of heavy luggage. Lifting up and down my heavy pieces of luggage was pretty difficult. I also thought there would someone with a live egg counter atleast. However we had a self service breakfast of orange juice, cereal and milk, cold hard boiled eggs, toast and cake/muffin with coffee. This was a standard fare. I would have expected some scrambled eggs or omelettes atleast.

Terrific location just outside of Davis Square, a lively area which seems to have replaced the old Harvard Square (restaurants, shops, movie theater, ice cream). The house is pretty and has a lovely garden around it. Comes with a cat! Homey. No hot breakfast options, but cereal, fruit, pastry, coffee all nicely done and presented. Quiet and peaceful. Nice bathroom, excellent shower, roomy & great water pressure. I forgot to bring shampoo and was delighted to find that they even provide it as well as body wash.

My greeting from the proprietor was not especially friendly, but aside from that, everything was fine. I had a tiny, tiny room at the top of the house, a small dormer under the eaves. Cozy for me -- I liked it -- but if you're tall or big or just like a lot of space, make sure you're not getting an upstairs room.

Very comfortable bed and good breakfast.

The chair in the bedroom could be more comfortable. And, as I was leaving I checked all the dresser drawers only to find a very dirty pair of men's socks....not mine! Upon my arrival there was very little body wash in the shower. Just minor details.

1. Location: safe, relatively quiet and near shops 2. Convenient ride to Boston, Cambridge, etc. via subway 3. The dining and living room area is structured/designed so that guests have the opportunity to converse with one another 4. Easy free parking 5. Right near a walking path

I thought that there would be some hot food for breakfast self serve with yogurt, fruit, cereal and toast. They has French press coffee pots so you could make coffee any time

Some mornings there was not enough yogurt. As the building was old there was a lot of noise from the plumbing in other rooms.

Very cozy and relaxing in a quiet neighborhood close to the station. The breakfast was great and everything was super clean! Unforgettable time at the Davis square inn! I would definitely come again.
