We stayed at Prospect Place for 2 nights this March. It's a warm, homey place. People who like old houses and all that goes along with them will take to this bnb. Eric, the owner, is helpful and approachable. It's always good to chat with one's host and get their perspective on the place one is visiting. We stayed in... More

We spent one night at the beginning and four nights at the end of our new england journey in this beautiful bed and breakfast. It is a perfect place for starting to explore boston after a delicous, fresh made breakfast topped with inspiring discussions with Eric Huenneke, the absolutly liberal host. Whenever we will come back to boston this place... More

I spent two nights there midweek in the smaller Madeline room, which was perfectly fine for one person, and I appreciated the private bath. Breakfasts were good, no special fancy dishes like some places have but as I was dining out for all other meals, it was good to have granola and fruit and some lovely cranberry lemon pound cake....

This was a good start to our touring holiday of New England & ideally situated for discovering Boston. Our room was comfortable & spacious although there was no en-suite. Breakfasts were really good & made more enjoyable by chatting with the other guests. The owner was very helpful & shared his experiences of renovating the house.

Owners, Eric and Judy, were so accommodating to us. We parked our car for free on the street and never needed it. This place was in the perfect location for us to tour Boston by foot, train and bus. Breakfast was served in the elegant dining room. The scones were the best, but we were also offered fresh cut up... More

I strongly recommend this B&B for the position, close to the T-Line (red Line) station and good for visiting Boston, for the accomodation, clean and peacefull, and for the kindness of the owner, Erik, that delights each guest with a fantastic breakfast (what a omelettes!). Moreover a good choice in terms of Quality/Price.

Eric is a wondeful host. Hot breakfast each day with eggs to order or french toast and fresh pastries. I cant imagine how anyone could leave breakfast hungry. Prospect Place is in a great spot for a trip to Boston. In the middle of Harvard and MIT, but far enough away from both that you dont get the crowds from... More

I had never been to Boston before and found Prospect Place through Tripadvisor reviews. Though it is in Cambridge, it is only a few T stops away from Boston and many of the tourist sites, so it was conveniently located. The price was also right - I wanted to spend less than $200 a night on my accommodations, which was... More
