    The Frost House is very comfortable, perfectly located (a block from our daughter and son-in-law) and clean. We stayed in the studio room one time and that was not comfortable, but the apartments are super. The kitchen on the third floor apartment is much better equipped than the kitchen in 7A. We definitely will stay again. This past stay was our third. A great place and Karin is a wonderful host, very concerned that we are comfortable. We highly recommend this B&B.

    So convenient

    My husband and I needed a place to stay for a long weekend while visiting Cambridge. I couldn't believe how easy going the B&B was! We had no problem..no noise..it was so comfortable..and very close to the T. We will definitely return to the B&B on our next visit to the city! Thanks for the great stay Karin, we really appreciate it! The Bogatays

    In pricey Cambridge, Frost House is a great inexpensive alternative place to stay. The location, two blocks south of Porter Square and 1 subway stop from Harvard Square is convenient and quiet, with many restaurants and shops within minutes. The third floor apartment is spacious, bright, neat and sunny. It is well equipped for a short or long stay. It has a separate bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath and laundry facilities in the basement. Karin is a kind and helpful hostess. There is no breakfast, but she lets you know that in advance and there are bakeries and cafes near by (as well as a full kitchen). I'd happily stay there again. It is on the third floor, so that might be a concerrn to some with bad knees.
