As a visiting college professor teaching in Cambridge I have stayed at many inns in the area. The Whitman House is a very well designed and modern house. David and Robert also make it feel very much like a home. They are very welcoming and kind people. I would strongly recommend the Whitman House to anyone looking for a small, intimate, and homey Inn in Cambridge, MA.

The accommodations are modern, clean, comfortable and affordable. David and Robert are gracious hosts - they are both wonderfully helpful and immensely interesting. The house is is only three blocks away from the Central Square T stop and is easily walkable to most parts of town if you'd rather set out on foot. Thanks so much to David and Robert for hosting us and for doing such great work to support AIDS research. We hope to see you guys again very soon. Kris & Raquel

I stayed for 15 days in August 09 and could not have wished for better. As a "single" the Red room was ideal and I know the "boys" are planning some renovations to make it even better. What a friendly mob, breakfast was as you make it, and plenty of it, beaut coffee, better than down town. The trip to the rail was only a hop, step and jump away and if you stay a 7 day period it costs you $15.00 on the rail, bus and whatever. Thanks for the memories David, Robert and Chris.

David and Robert like to learn a bit about their guests and are happy to share their own interests as well. We stayed 2 nights twice, a week apart. Once upstairs, once down. Pleasant stays both times. If you want a small, non hotel, not anonymous place to explore Cambridge and Boston, it's a very good choice.

Well I went to Whitman House because i went to a summer program at berklee college of music. I arrived at Boston South Station and the owners came and got me since it was our first time in boston, from there they showed us around the city and then took us home. As soon as we arrived at Whitman we were treated with great service. Our room was comfortable, had flat screen TV, all channels, VCR and DVD. I really enjoyed my stay at whitman house including the wonderful breakfast which included a large variety of things. I stayed there for three nights and it was only $297. I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I stayed at the Whitman House recently and loved everything about it. From the beautiful interior to the owners who treated us like family. For those of you who want to be somewhere that is quiet, uncluttered and exceptionally clean, you need look no further. Cannot say enough.

I stayed there with my daughter and niece for six nights. We found the place to be exactly what we required. The hosts, David and Robert, took the time to talk with us; a factor that placed the venue in the excellent class for first time USA visitors. Older persons (me) like things to be user friendly. Younger persons (daughter and niece) like to come and go as they please - the home (for it's more than a hotel) catered for both. We give Whitman House rating a high five.

David and Robert are amazing hosts, Matthew who works at the inn was delighted to help us when our booking was at a slight error. David went out of his way to help fix this and for that, I'm grateful for since other places would turn you away. The innkeepers went out of their way to make their guests feel at home. Staying here was like staying at a friend's house but cleaner! They warmly welcomed us into their home and accommodate us in every way. Robert is an architect who built the house from his artistic visions and the amazing Whitman House came to be. Inside are all comfortable furniture, for instance, in the living room, you can sit and sink into the modular sofa watching over 150 varieties of movies from Pineapple Express to Paris, je t'aime. Seriously, its a must stay. Jenny

My friend and I had the pleasure of staying at the Whitman House in February. We had a great room with a private bath, great morning conversation along with a light breakfast(our choice). The location was amasing as its two blocks from where my sons live. I have made arrangments to stay in May with my husband. Good Times!

This excellently located B&B is a real find. Very comfortable mattresses, very clean, very friendly. We got a real slice of Boston staying here.

David and Robert seem to invite all those who stay at the Whitman House to be family for a few days. The house was impeccably clean, and their willingness to accommodate guests' requests was beyond expectations. The innkeepers provided warm, witty, and welcoming company during my solo business trip. A 10!

I stayed for two nights at the Whitman House and had a wonderful time. The room was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. David and Robert were excellent hosts, very entertaining if you spend the time to talk and relax with them. They bent over backward to make sure our stay was as comfortable and nice as possible. Great location; very close to subway. I know where I will stay the next time I'm in the Boston Area!!!

Nice people, but it would have been nice if they put out some coffee/tea in the morning and some pastries. They just pointed to the refrigerator and said we could have what we want.

Whitman house is a perfect balance between a home-like atmosphere with all the privacy you need. It is within safe walking distance to many fun parts of Cambridge and in a real neighborhood. David and Robert are wonderful, the place is an architectural beauty and priced very reasonably. I was only able to stay a week and could have stayed longer.

Robert and David run this little funky place with warmth and casual hospitality. They picked up us and luggage from another hotel, which really helped. Whitman House is in a great location, a walking distance from the metro station, between the Kendall Square and Harward Square, - but it sits on a quiet side street in an older residential area. They don't serve breakfast but gave us a discount note to a neighborhood caffe, where we received great food and first-rate service from the staff and owner. We had our own key and could come and go as we pleased. Overall, there was a feeling of belonging in the area for the few days we stayed. This place would appeal to younger and hipper crowd or any independent-minded traveler on a budget who is willing to explore Cambridge from within.

My family of 4 stayed with Robert and David. They are simply the nicest people and didn't flinch when my 24 and 21 year-olds came in at 3:30am from the rehearsal dinner. We will stay there again! Great area!

I stayed at the Whitman House while attending a conference in Cambridge. I chose this B&B because of its location and also the very reasonable rate. Even before I arrived, David and Robert responded to all my queries promptly and were very helpful. When I finally met them in person(s), I was bowled over by their gracious hospitality and charm. The house itself is lovely and exquisitely furnished. My room was spacious and I loved everything in it including the large screen TV, the Eames chair and the reading lights on the headboard of the bed. The bathroom is tranquil and reminescent of a spa. David and Robert really made me feel at home and the kitchen is well stocked with food and drinks. Besides all the cosy touches and the meticulous attention to detail, I was impressed with the wireless connection throughout the house. When I had trouble setting up my Notebook, Robert immediately got an IT expert to sort that out in a matter of minutes. David is like a kind, gentle, scholarly housemaster who is on call 24/7 to attend to any problems the guests may encounter. I will definitely stay here again!

When we travel, we love to stay in homes and so B&B's are perfect. Robert and David were like two uncles who we were catching up with. The house was cozy and interesting and they helped us with things to do and see in Boston. Loved it!

My husband and I recently stayed at this bed and breakfast trying to a void a hotel. The room was on the first floor and the house was very nice, newly renovated and very clean. It had a wonderful TV with cable. The owners were very nice and helpful. However, when I booked the room I specifically requested a private bathroom and was told that the room I booked had a private bathroom. The bathroom was down the hall on the first floor and was a nice bathroom with a great shower, but was also the bathroom that the owners friends/company used when they were entertaining. This is a very nice B&B, but if you want a private bath be sure to specify- attached, private bathroom.

We enjoyed our stay. Location was conveniently close to Central "T" Station in Cambridge. Access to downtown Boston was quick and easy. Our room was spacious and elegant. Our hosts were very helpful in providing directions and information on the sites. They have a large movie collection which is available for guests to watch!

This is a marvellous place to stay in. Owned and run my a charming couple. An architect - you can see the detail and care he put into renovating the house. And, a retired professor - full of fascinating conversation, useful local help and care and attention. We loved every minute of our stay! Saul Davis (Metar, Israel)

We stayed at Whitman House while visiting family in Cambridge and found it to be a fun and interesting experience. David and Robert are very friendly and helpful and go out of their way to facilitate your experience. The house is very conveniently located to Central Square in Cambridge and works quite well as a central location for exploring the Boston area.

Having been at many hotels and B&B's, you get used to using these as portal, where you sleep but not really spend much time otherwise. I spent three days at Whitman House in Cambridge, MA, and found it refreshingly different. The description on this site fits very well with the reality, and indeed both David and Robert were very friendly, willing to discuss (m)any issues. It was just a very relaxing atmosphere, and I enjoyed discussing science, politics, history. The house is beautiful, the room is very nice and I would be happy to stay there again when visiting the area.
