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

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

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.

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.

Our day and a half in Boston was pretty disappointing as parking and traffic downtown were very frustratining. The only redeeming feature of our trip was the 2 nights at the Davis Inn. We found it to be a peaceful, comfortable, place in the midst of Cambridge/Sommerville area. We would
recommend it to anyone.

It is clean and quiet, but not convenient.
If you have lot of luggage it will be hard because there's no elevator for 2nd and 3rd floor room. If you stay more than one or two days, there is no laundry facility either. The 3rd floor room is essentially attic room
