General Information

Though it has been newly renovated, we think of the Whitman House as an established Cambridge residence.

We are a 15 minute walk from both Harvard and MIT, or a 3 minute walk to the local subway which gets you to the heart of either in one stop and the Heart of Boston in three.

We have been personally involved in community affairs for 26 years and glad to be your conduit to the cities of Boston and Cambridge.

Beginning with free off street parking on site, wireless internet, private bathrooms, and a flexible breakfast schedule;

There is nothing you could need that isn't approachable in one way or another.

This is a beautiful place that we wish you to enjoy, share and experience to its fullest as you conduct your stay.

Please see the rest of our site for the full picture.

Then be sure to Call Us Directly for any questions, comments, requests and bookings. Thank you and Enjoy!
