    Parkside on Ellery in Cambridge, Massachusetts has been described by a guest as having “…all the comforts of home and all the privacy of a hotel”. Built in 1865, this post Civil War Victorian has been renovated for modern comforts. While this B&B in a garden setting maintains a relaxed atmosphere, it is just a ten-minute walk to bustling Harvard Square. The Bed and Breakfast is also perfectly located for university visits, experiencing historic Boston or day trips to quaint Cape Cod. Three unique guestrooms featuring private entrances, private baths, complimentary local telephone service and internet access. The Victorian Room is decorated with American Renaissance period furniture of rosewood and walnut. American and Asian inspired simplicity invites guests to enjoy the treetops in the cheery Cambridge Room. Chinese lions welcome guests to the tranquil, study-like, Scholar Room. A continental breakfast menu offers choices of regular or decaffeinated coffee and tea, English muffins with assorted jams and muesli cereal. Breakfast is served in-room. Parking is on-street with a provided permit.

    I love staying at the Parkside, I've stayed 3 or 4 times and plan to return next year, too. David is a wonderful host, and his thoughtfulness and attention to detail is terrific.

    Nice B&B in Cambridge MA

    August 30, 2012

    Great location in Cambridge MA, very near Harvard campus, It's a 10 minute walk to Harvard Square. If you're heading to Boston, it's a short subway ride. Breakfast was good, but more of a variety each day would have been nice.
