Description

Specialties

Excellent concierge service by long time Cantabridgians. We have antiques, lace curtains, down pillows, fresh flowers in the room and great beds. We have free wifi, voice mail, cable TV, local phone calls are free. We have special continental plus breakfasts including homemade bread, jam and granola and afternoon tea available when you wish it!

History

Established in 1990.

Our house was built in 1897 by George Fogerty and is one of the largest examples of Boston’s traditional three-​decker homes. Inspired by our love of our guests at our A Bed and Breakfast in the Berkshires near Tanglewood, we opened our home to guests in Cambridge. About half of our guests are international. Our guests are scientists, scholars, politicians, researchers, artists, musicians, parents of students at Harvard and MIT, as well as tourists from every continent; one even spent a year in Antartica!

Manchester, NH
This B&B was beyond sketchy. We paid $ 180 for one room. At first, we couldn’t find the place. There was no sign on the building or road — I had to use my phone to go on the website. We discovered that it was in the yellow apartment building. We parked down the street, walked to the building, and when we entered we were in the entrance of an apartment where we needed to buzz in. There were only three buttons to pick from and above the third button was a note that said «for B&B buzz apartment 3». We buzzed and walked in, then suddenly a voice from above yelled down «third floor!» We were not impressed. We walked all the way up the stairs to the third floor, where Byron stood at the door. He seemed very weird and said that he wasn’t expecting us for another few hours and that he had to go. We told him we were just coming to check it out because we wouldn’t return until late. He then told us he couldn’t show us our room (which was down the creepy hallway). He gave us a set of keys (one for main door and one for bedroom). He showed us the kitchen and the bathroom. It was a shared bathroom for the other people staying there. It was dirty and creepy. And he wouldn’t let us see our room because it «wasn’t ready». It was creepy. We left to go on our way and spent the next hour looking up reasonable priced places to stay instead. They were all way too expensive. We went to a concert and returned at midnight. The lights were off in the whole building, we walked all the way to the third floor, only to find the main door shut and locked. It was BEYOND creepy. We had the keys to go through the door but couldn’t bare it. We ended up running downstairs… Too creeped out. We left the keys and ended up driving all the way home. It was creepy and over priced. Basically just paying $ 180 to share a dirty bathroom with everyone and sleep in an extra bedroom of some creepy guys apartment. Do not stay here.
