In the heart of the Harvard community, I've had two stays and wouldn't stay anywhere else. The rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully put together right down to the little light that pops on in front of your bed so you don't stump your toe in the dark. To work space commons. To walking distance to campus, food and shopping. Wonderful multi-night stays.
