I stayed here last year, while visiting Boston with my mom (we were there for a research trip to one of Harvard's archives). We loved Bed and Muffin; it was comfortable and the owner was very nice. The owner, Sarah, has gone out her way to include thoughtful touches (like a stand full of umbrellas, a shelf of reading glasses... More

I have a wonderful time, everytime I stay at the Bed and Muffin. Sarah is a wonderful proprietress, as skilled an executive manager as she is caring and thoughtful. Every potential need of her guests seems to have been considered and you will find laid out, organized and at your finger tips, essential as well as whimsical (but useful!) items... More

Because of the great reviews on Tripadvisor we had booked the three rooms in the B&B for two nights for a family reunion in Boston. Unfortunately we had to change our plans and cancel two out of three rooms for the last night and while doing so the owner mentioned that we could only be two in each room even... More

Just got home from Boston, and had to write about the Bed and Muffin B&B. Great location for Cambridge (a walk away from Central Square) and just a few minutes drive to get to the heart of Boston. The entranceway is enchanting, with plantings on both sides of a secluded walkway. Our room was spotless, well furnished, comfortable beds/pillows, and... More

My husband and I wanted a place close to our daughter's apartment in Boston. The Cambridge Bed and Muffin was just right for us. It is an easy walking distance to public transportation, so we didn't need a car. The room was really big, and the bed outstandingly comfortable. There is a shared bath, but we never met anyone else... More

We have stayed at this delightful B&B a couple of times a year for the last couple of years whenever we come to visit family who live nearby. It is such a lovely place to stay! The host has thought of every detail. Very comfortable beds and quiet rooms. Sharing a bathroom has never been an issue. The breakfast is... More

This place was so great it finally got me to sign up for TripAdvisor. I stayed here one night because my inlaws were coming to town and I live in a very small apartment nearby. So basically I just needed a bed. It was perfect for that, but would be great for so much more. The attention to detail for... More

We loved staying in Sarah's clean and whimsical home for 4 nights....Our third floor room was cozy and clean, and it was just fine having the bathroom across the hall (didn't ever seem to run into anyone). The shower is great, and Sarah has loads of shampoos, soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, tissues, Qtips, extra towels, or anything else one may have... More

The house is set back from the road and has a very leafy, garden feeling. The serve-yourself breakfast was good - with many teas to choose from, and fresh brewed coffee. The bathroom was stocked with everything you might need or have forgotten - toothbrushes, tissues, cotton swabs etc. The host is helpful and friendly, but not intrusive. We would... More
