    Price a bit high fort Mediocre breakfast and shared bathroom.

    The best thing about this property was the location to Coolidge Corner being close to the T green stop, Trader Joe’s and restaurants. I liked the living and dining room area to hang out so you weren’t limited to staying your room. Getting into Boston was close and easy. The guest house was comfortable but there is no personal touch of staff or a handmade breakfast that would be expected at most B&B’s as compared to staying at a hotel. The owner did make an effort to provide breakfast earlier for those of us running in the BAA 5K or Marathon, though she was never present. It was enjoyable to meet other guests at the large breakfast table but most of us went to Trader Joe’s for breakfast items and more healthy choices. Coffee was not available until 8am which I felt was a bit late. The staff (Maids) were very eager to help but most spoke little or no English. If you are ok with a do it yourself place it was fine.

    Some minor details could do with a bit of TLC

    A lovely traditional clapper board property with loads of quaint features. Breakfast is continental style with porridge, bagels, hard boiled eggs and pastries, eaten at a table with other guests. We had a very sociable bunch who all chatted together, so it was very companionable.

    We didn't realize until we got there that our room would be at the top of two flights of winding stairs. Since we had a couple of heavy suitcases, this made arrival and departure somewhat challenging.

    The staff are very nice and very helpful. The bed was very comfortable.

    Location to Boston and the Green line was Wonderful…WellI would say that this place was adequate but nothing special. For me it lacked the personality, and personal touches of a friendly staff that I look forward to with staying at a B&B. I felt it was overpriced as compared to other Brookline choices for the money. where was the home cooked breakfast of French toast or Blueberry pancakes!!! Parking was available but we spent a lot of time moving cars around to get in and out. some of the guests refused to move there car and we had to move the car ourselves. For the money they charged I thought this was unreasonable!

    very hands off no one to greet you just a phone call in the middle of dinner with my child to make sure I had checked in. no one but me put their car key where they were supposed to so I had to call to see if I could get my car out when I wanted to check out - the charge for parking is too much for that inconvenience.

    location was good for me - 15-20min walk to see my child at BU

    We came in July so it’s extremely hot and even though it had A/C we had to buy a fan for the room.

    It was pretty sparse but I think it was due to Covid.

    We would have preferred a separate bathroom, but we made it work. The TV channel options where bit limited, but not the end of the world. The image seemed a bit blurred, perhaps you can check this ( not sure if it was my eye sight). We took a day to orientate ourselves, but soon got the hang of it. One evening, when we wanted to make tea, there was no milk or half & half in the cupboard, hence no tea. Although the staff were pleasant and cleaned daily...they may want to clean underneath chest of drawers ( not sure about underneath the bed ?). I only noticed because I dropped something and was looking for it.

    Coffee and continental breakfast, especially the fruit was great start to the day. Really nice to have access to the kitchen after a long day of sight seeing to make a cup of tea. Although we had to share a bathroom (not our first choice), the bathroom was spotlessly clean and we always had access. Liked the access code to get into the B&B...made life a lot easier. Seemed to be very safe. Friendly staff and you were most accommodating in allowing us to leave our luggage in the lounge on the day we checked out.

    Sound wasn't very well insulated, but most other guests were relatively quiet. A little bit cool but there was a thermostat in the hallway to warm up for a few hours at a time.

    The room was very cute, with antique furniture and decor. Bed was very comfortable and warm with a very nice quilt. It was easy to walk to cafes and the shopping areas around Brookline. I could also do laundry for free next to the dining room. Very nice house, I enjoyed staying there. Wifi connectivity was good as well.

    On this exceptionally windy, frigid night, the room got a little chilly for my preference.

    It is far more charming, safe and cozy than a property. On a secluded street that is a quick drive to Mass General Hospital or Longwood Medical Area, this preserves my access to excellent care.

    The room was very small - we were allowed to put our large suitcases in an empty room to make more space. Otherwise, it would really have been uncomfortable. On weekends, bagels and coffee were available for breakfast in the common kitchen. Why couldn't this have been every day, as it apparently was in the past? It was a bit cold inside.

    Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The owners answered every email request immediately. Comfortable bed, good shower. Great location. Feels like home. Simple check-in and out system.
