Awesome location and service
Great option for an overnight in Harvard Square! The rooms are cute and functional but not overly frilly. Check in was smooth and the breakfast in the morning is excellent. I got caught in a rain storm so was grateful for the on site laundry and could dry my clothes. The staff are very nice and friendly. Overall it’s a comfortable, quirky totally Cambridge place to stay.

Good location but not our favorite
We stayed at Irving House while moving our college student primarily because it was dog friendly and due to location. Proximity to Harvard Square is very convenient. Our room was clean. The staff, except for one, was friendly and helpful. Breakfast, although average, was included. The property overall was tired, worn and mismatched. Temperature was controlled at the floor, not individual room, level which was not always comfortable for us. There is no elevator. Some of the bathrooms were not en suite, which we've experienced in Europe, but not in the US. Parking was available. We would look for other options for future stays.

Great B&B close to Harvard. Good walkable streets to T (12 minutes) and a very quiet neighborhood. Old fashioned B&B that is quality.
