    My wife and I enjoyed finding a home at Morrison House during our two weeks in Boston - we chose it due to its proximity to Tufts, but if ever in Boston again, we would not look elsewhere. Ron and Linde are excellent and unobtrusive hosts, the rooms are very comfortable, the convenience of Davis Square and the T being closeby is perfect . Last but not the least, the freshly baked breakfast, and congenial conversation at the table make a great start to a new day.

    Fantastic hospitality and an excellent location!

    Ron and Linde really came through and I would definitely stay here again. Home and gardening are very nice, my room was spacious with all the amenities; flat screen, dvd, fridge, great bed. I was pleasantly suprised with the location. Somerville is a great little area to walk around; movie theatre, nice pubs, variety of restaurants, and close to the bike trail. I appreciated all of the help on logistics and enjoyed talking about Europe travels with Linde. Thanks again for your great hospitality!

    After we requested a quiet room owners put us in a room next to their office. They were noisy all morning. When we politely asked them to be quiet, they treated us so disrespectfully that we had to leave.

    Innkeeper Response
    This is a bed and breakfast home, not a hotel, so our living and working space is integrated with the guest area. Naturally we are going to produce normal household noises outside of our carefully observed quiet hours. Nine in the morning is a reasonable time for us to be doing laundry, cleaning, etc. If we had had a special request for late morning quiet, of course we would have done our very best to accommodate. The room that we gave this couple is a very quiet room at night, in fact, our quietest, since it is away from the street and away from the other guest rooms. We're sorry this couple wasn't happy here.

    - Ron (innkeeper)

    Several years on from my stay at Morrison House, I have fond memories and look upon it as the best bed and breakfast I have stayed at. It was the first time I'd ever travelled on my own and my hosts made me feel welcome and were always attentive to my needs and that of other guests. The breakfast was everything you'd want for breakfast and more including home baked goodies!My room felt homely and Morrison House, a home away from home. You could not wish for a better place to stay while in Boston!

    Highly Recommended

    Morrison house is a jewel - the hosts have thought of everything, including night-lights and paper cups in the bathrooms, a robe and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. It's just a few blocks from shopping and a slew of restaurants and close to the "T" (which will take you anywhere in the Boston area!) I enjoyed chatting with Ron (his wife was out of town during our stay) and loved his artwork and book selections. Very cheerful and highly recommended!
