Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful Inn in Boston

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.

Well chosen stay

I do like the character of older houses especially when they offer all the modern amenities. The room was clean and comfortable with a microwave and fridge/freezer combo.The room had features well suited to my elderly age group. Easy access to premises. Well located for days in Boston and environs.
