Can't say enough about the innkeepers, Robert the architect has out together a modern and understated refuge in an 1836 vintage restoration. On a quiet neighborhood street, yet moments by foot from the bustle and action of Central Square it's a place where we could rest our weary feet after hustling around at commencement activities. Expect lively and thoughtful conversations with David, a fount of stories and insight. But be careful, it's easy to get involved and find yourself late for your next tourist activity! Highly recommended.

My wife and I stayed at the Whitman house over the 4th of July weekend 2010. David and Robert are two of the most gracious people you'll meet. The home was very clean and tidy and recently renovated. David will talk your ear off, which is a lot of fun and they both make you feel like you're at home. While we were there, there were a couple with a child too (about 1 year old). David & Robert were more than happy to accomodate them and their child. I guess what I'm saying is, this place is fantastic, a great value, and a great location. (2 Blocks from the T).

On the TV show ''Cheers'' they used to say: '' A place were everybody knows your name''. The warm welcome we recieved at the Whitman House made it true for us. We get back to Quebec with a smile on our face and our head full of good souvenirs of a city of art, history and knowledge. At the Whitman house, Boston became a friendly place for us and we certainly hope to come back for another rich experience.
