Pros: The breakfast was a delightful addition to my stay. The afternoon "tea" was appreciated as well. The rooms as always are neat and clean, the staff exceptional. The location is perfect as it is very close to Mass Ave, mass transit, stores, Harvard and its attractions, and of course, family living nearby.

Pros: I'm not a breakfast eater so the issue wasn't important--I did eat a muffin which was delicious. The location of the B&B was great--easy to walk or take public transportation. The room was quiet and comfortable; the staff really friendly and helpful.

Pros: The inn is a perfect blend of an older property that has newer comforts. There were snacks and beverages in the lobby and a gracious host. The bed was so nice and the off-street parking was a welcome bonus. Walkable to everything you need and in a resedential setting made for a pleasant stay.

The location is perfect as it is very close to Mass Ave, mass transit, stores, Harvard and its attractions, and of course, family living nearby.
Cons: Disappointed in the problem with the TV which was never able to be resolved during my stay. I was able to do a phone vidio of the problem and shared it with several people after they had it inspected during the day and felt it was working fine. The problem occured in the evenings after I returned from my family visits, so the video was able to confirm that there WAS a problem. I wish a minor refund had been offered, as I spent from around 7-7:30 pm on in the room each night and would have liked to watch TV.

Cons: This is not a dislike but a full disclosure warning. I have problems with stairs Guests must know this ahead of time. However, I was able to manage my movements and stay mobile. I do not know if someone in wheelchair might have been able to do that.

10,0 Excellent
Pros: The breakfast was what one expects. Its location was fine.
Cons: The breakfast could have been more European, with emphasis on a variety of cheese and cold cuts. But of course there it is expected and here we are much more basic.
1,0 Poor
Pros: Excellent breakfast (Although it was the same exact breakfast for seven days.)
Cons: No modern air conditioning; description states air conditioning. Found no room a/c vents;Hallways at 75 degrees; staff said air could not be adjusted. Rooms- hot and stuffy;must open windows at night;given a loud fan to cool off the room. Miserable.

Pros: Excellent hot breakfast. That snacks/tea/coffee/water were available throughout the day was an added plus. Staff was on the whole quite friendly.
Cons: Having a shared bathroom was not ideal, but that is what I had paid for, so I am not really complaining. I would have liked to see greater security with left bags after checkout, which could have been just handled by means of bag tags.

Pros: It was a great choice to stay here. The nostalgia of this building was very fascinating. Rooms were small, but really all I needed was a bedroom, which worked out great. The Parlor and dining area gave you plenty of room for relaxation etc.
Cons: The worst part is getting to the right end of the street so that you can park. One way streets are the norm here. That is no different than any other city with one way streets.

Pros: Staff, attentive and available 24X7, seemed genuinely happy to work at the Irving House. Situated on a quiet residential street that is just steps from Harvard Square. Try Darwin's Limited- Cambridge Street, a local deli for sandwiches, coffee, desserts
Cons: The stairs will provide a bit of exercise if your luggage is heavy. No problem, ask for help.

The old fashioned, Victorian home is decorated in period pieces, has a wonderful sitting area with two fireplaces (perfect in the cold weather), a nice array of breakfast fare, beautifully appointed rooms, and a professional, friendly staff. It’s also an easy walk to either the Porter Square or Davis subway stops. We will definitely go back!
