The hosts were helpful in getting us directions, and getting in late in the evening. The room and bathroom were immaculate. It was quiet despite being a block from Davis Square. The T stop was very close. Some more whole grain choices for breakfast would be nice.

This was my first visit to Boston and I'm so happy I chose to stay at Bowers House. Easy commute from the airport using the local transit-no rental car needed! Great location to get around the city, easy walk to the subway station, and right off Davis square with tons of places to eat, drink, and purchase traveling amenities if... More

I found this a nice touch and when I arrived,... More

Highly recommend staying here for Somerville or Cambridge. I have not stayed anywhere else in the area but I am not curious about looking since Bowers House B&B provided everything we could need or want. Will def stay here again. Nicely renovated rooms, gracious host, great mattress, cookies left for our late arrival, kitchen/coffee/tea at our disposal any time, including... More

We had a very nice stay in this B&B which is conveniently located in a quiet street, near a number of good restaurants just at the end of the street. The B&B is just 5 minute walk from the subway station and 2 km away from Harvard University, so this might be a good solution for enjoying Boston without being... More

Relativity new Bed & Breakfast in a 2 family dwelling, conveniently located just off of Davis Sq. The owner is friendly and will give you your space, if that’s what you want. On street parking is plentiful. The 2nd floor kitchen is open 24/7 and is separate from the owners apartment. Breakfast consisted of pastries, bread, fruit and yogurt, just... More

Bowers House blends into a picturesque, New England-style block in the heart of bustling Davis Square--just a couple of blocks from the historic Somerville Theate and Red Line subway. The home has a beautifully renovated kitchen and the room was cleaned expertly. Our room's bathroom was also newly renovated and spotless. The owner Christina is very amiable and helpful. Just...

I booked 2 nights accommodation at Bowers House B&B a month ahead of a conference I planned to attend at MIT in late October 2012. A week before my planned arrival I received a call from them saying that they had mistakenly booked my room to someone else months earlier, and I was forced to cancel the booking. They did... More

Our accommodation at Bowers House B&B was a real gem-comfortable,clean and convenient. Rather than stay in the middle of a city my husband and I prefer to stay and experience a 'neighborhood '. Staying in Somerville when we did also meant we experienced the HONK ! Festival. Great fun. There are a number of good eateries just at the end... More
