The room was hot on both nights. No A/C. Opening a window helps only moderately but makes it tough to sleep with car alarms and ppl yelling outside. Breakfast was average. Nothing i could not make myself in my own kitchen. dannon yogurt cups, fruit, pastries from the store, and scrambled eggs. More

I stayed at Prospect place for about a week in Feb with my husband. We really liked this place. It was very calm and relaxing. Eric was very helpful and extremely hospitable. He was very resourceful in giving us recommendations about the local attractions. We really enjoyed the fresh and delicious home made breakfast everyday. The room was very spacious... More

Homey, warm, comfortable, quiet and historic (at one time was an Episcopal Church). Eric hosts quite a place right across from a Whole Foods Market. Safe neighborhood, convenient to the T and a great walk to Harvard - even on a snowy night. Free wifi and breakfast are first class. More

Stayed at Prospect place beginning of November to visit my son in college. I traveled alone so it was a breath of fresh air to arrive to a warm and welcoming home. Eric, the owner and innkeeper, was waiting for my arrival, he had tons of literature available on Cambridge and wonderful restaurant recommendations on hand. The location is fabulous... More

Stayed at Prospect Place in October as part of our anniversary vacation. Location is great and just a short walk from Boston's Red Line Central Station. Rooms were comfortable, hospality was great, and the breakfast was perfect. A great location to explore Boston, Harvard, and beyond. If we can book a room at Prospect, we won't stay anywhere else!

The innkeeper is so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice and the rooms were delightful! There's a Whole Foods right across the street and the metro is only a few blocks away. Close to good restaurants and easy metro access to Boston. Definitely recommend this b&b! More

I met a good friend from college here for a brief reunion and long trek around Cambridge. We stayed in the Charles Suite. It is a wonderful 2-room space created in the basement. But don't let the word basement deter you. I slept on the most comfortable pull-out double bed I have ever experienced. And my friend luxuriated in the... More

Well Chris, this place gets a lot of very positive reviews here because it is an EXCELLENT place to stay. I met you at breakfast and can see how you could write such a misleading and somewhat evil review. It is truly unfortunate that persons like you can go through life leaving a trail of misinformation that truly hurts others..but... More

Well, this place gets a lot of very positive reviews here, but I'm sorry to say that did not match our own experience staying at Prospect Place last week. The hosts were helpful enough, but seemed very edgy and distracted. In fairness, they had to leave for an early flight on the second morning of our stay, so perhaps they... More

We're very sorry that this guest did not find Prospect Place to their liking although they did not give any real indication of such while they were here. Surely each guest brings their own perspective and preferences with them and that's why these reviews can be helpful. As is apparent from so many other reviews, most guests love the Charles... More
