Wonderful stay

I stayed a couple of days at the Davies inn and then moved to the Morrison . It was a wonderful stay . The area is peaceful and a block away from the T that will bring you in central in less than 30 min. The place is very calm and has a homy feel . I had breakfast everyday with perfect strangers and had the most pleasant conversations that I will remember . If I ever come back to Boston I will stay there again

Very charming!

This is a charming B&B located in the heart of Davis Square. The service is excellent! There is home made quick bread (e.g., banana) every morning for breakfast, plus a full array of other breakfast items. French press coffee. Because it's an historic home, the bedrooms are of different sizes. No lift, but the manager kindly carried my suitcase upstairs. There are games and books. I would stay again.

I can’t think of a better or more accommodating place to stay for my first Boston Marathon. It’s relaxing. The breakfast was amazing. The area is lovely. The subway is about 200 ft away. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for a long weekend. It was a short walk to the subway. The owners were helpful in providing information. The property is super cute and a comfortable stay. Somerville is nice area with plenty of food options and obviously quick subway/train stops away from tons of places. I would absolutely choose to stay here again over other options.

Feel like a home and not a hotel

We stayed in Davis room for two nights when we sent my son back to college. Feel like a home and not a hotel!! Nice and clean. Lovely food and fresh fruits for breakfast. Excellent service! Best location, near the Red Line Davis Square subway stop which is only two stops away from Harvard University. Will definitely come back when we are in Boston area. Highly recommended!

The house is nice, but the owners don’t interact very much and it’s not very welcoming. Also, it’s just a very simple serve yourself continental breakfast. It was a huge loss not having a prepared breakfast which is a main component of a bed and breakfast. It was in a great area but probably wouldn’t stay again.

the location was perfect- brought me back to my happy place when i lived in Somerville 25 years ago! parking was a huge plus, the inn itself was just beautiful inside and out, the feline was the most adorable zany little meatball, and Linde baked the best Irish soda bread i have ever had. EVER. i stayed in the Little Room, proof that they make even the smallest space comfortable. one note- the bed has a huge pillowtop, so it is on the softer side for those that need to know. pick HERE- you will thank me for it.

It is what it is

It was a nice place to stay but no ESPN and the breakfast was lacking. Owners were not home. But Maria was great. Stairs were steep and narrow which made it a little hard for us.
