Charming old home that is very well located in Cambridge. Good service and lovely breakfast. The furnishings are getting a little tired. No sitting area outside (no porch or patio; backyard inaccessible). Would return for this value.
4.4 out of 5lovely place, with people who wellcome you by heart
April 28, 2012
This is a place that shows you the heart of the owners. You feel imediately wellcomed, they are very wellcoming you. The room is very clean, an old english style as you can find in Great Britain. rooms are reasonable big, in spite of not huge. The facilities work well. The best is the mavolous breakfast, with all what you want including freshly baked cake from the owner. Greatl

Clean, central location to T and Squares. Quiet, friendly. can't say enough good things. Will stay there each time in Boston.
4.4 out of 5A very good place to visit Boston and near Harvard
April 25, 2012
Un bel endroit, fort partique, à proximité immédiate de Boston (bus direct. 10 mn max) et de Harvard. Chambre confortable avec un grand lit king et une salle de bain très bien équipée. La chambe que nous occupions est en demi sous-sol. La bibliothèque/séjour attenante, est une belle pièce, mais sans ouverture extérieure et nous ne l'avons guère utilisée de ce fait. Mais les autres chambres proposées ne me semblent pas avoir ce défaut Petit déjeuner d'excellente qualité et un hote vraiment sympathique. Le rapport qualité prix est bon et il est difficile de trouver mieux à proximité immédiate de Boston.
4.0 out of 5A Lovely and Convenient Place to Stay
February 20, 2012
While visiting our daughter we stayed for three nights at this lovely B&B in Cambridge. It was only 2 blocks from Central Square T and 8 blocks or so from the Harvard campus so we were able to leave our rental car parked (they give you a residential parking permit) most of the time. The inn keepers were gracious and helpful (more about that below) and provided a most scrumptious breakfast. Our room was comfortable, warm and cozy and it was a very cold end of January. There is a Whole Foods across the street that we shopped at before going to our daughters apt. so if the weather is nice you can get great snacks We left in mid afternoon getting to the airport in about 15 minutes (what a surprise that was). A day later we received an e-mail from Eric that I had apparently left a camera memory card in the room. He asked if he could mail it to me and when we arrived home from the next leg of our vacation there it was. Would we stay here again? In a moment.
4.0 out of 5Prospect Place is excellent!

I'm reviewing our stay at Prospect Place some years ago. The house is a beautifully restored Victorian and our hosts showed us pictures of the restoration process. We stayed in the Madeline room in back, away from the street. The bed was comfortable and we had a private bath. The hosts gave us a generous and delicious breakfast. I highly recommend Prospect Place and give it five stars in all categories.
