We had found this B&B on the internet, and liked it. Located with easy walking distance to Harvard University and the city of Cambridge. Downtown Boston is 2 Metro stations away. Very friendly hotel crew. Room was a bit on the small side for 3 pax, but still o.k. Great breakfast buffet. Very helpful and knowledgeable hosts, with recommendations, information and reservations if required for all local events and activities.

This is the second visit to this B&B for my wife and me. We visited last July 4th weekend as well. The location near Central Square is a short walk to both Harvard Square and the Charles River for the POPs concert. They have a lovely yard at which you can sit and sip wine under the trees. The staff was very helpful at recommending local restaurants. We had three exceptional dinners as a result. The off the street parking is welcome, as parking is especially tight in Cambridge. The breakfast buffet provided a range of hot and cold choices, including a wide range of fruit. I think we've found our perfect city escape.

This restored 1800s home was ideal for our visit to Cambridge and downtown Boston. The decor creates an upscale, but homey feeling, with interesting details. The staff greets every question with a smile and a well-informed answer. Along with a variety of cold breakfast choices, they served a warm and original piece of bakery cooked in their kitchen. The clean and polished rooms provided plush bedding. The use of a computer and free Wi-Fi was greatly appreciated. We could truly relax here after a long day of sight-seeing. We had a wonderful stay.

We were in Cambridge for a family wedding in June 2010. The Harding House was our home base for the week prior to the wedding. Convenient to shops, the T and the family festivities, The Harding House was a perfect respite for myself, my husband and our 4 year old son. From the free wifi to the lovely decor, along with the helpful and friendly staff we had a fantastic vacation!
