Absolutely charming place to stay on beautiful Newbury St. We arrived shortly after it had snowed a good 3-4 inches, and it was bitterly cold. I was slightly disappointed that the stairs were a bit icy, but once inside I was greeted by an intimate lobby with a wine fridge complete with extensive wine selection, lavazza coffe maker, keurig, microwave, and an ice-cold filter water tap. Facing Newbury St. was a small “living room” style seating area with plush chairs and board games. I waited a good 5 minutes at the desk before someone emerged from behind a semi-closed door. There was no bell or button to press to alert staff, nor a sign stating they were away from the desk. No apology was made for the wait, but the woman checking me in was very friendly and I didn’t say anything. In all fairness, she could have been on a call/meeting or handling an issue with someone, so I don’t feel like my wait alone should indicate any issue with staff’s availability. Check in was simple and quick. The hallways are narrow, but it enhances the place truthfully because you can feel the history here. You may encounter having to go down two stairs to only go back up two stairs to get to your room. This is because the Guest House is actually three late Victorian era houses that were joined together! My simple queen room was clean, comfortable, and adorable. I loved the view of Newbury and the ample lighting options in the room. Bathroom was very small, but impeccably clean and modern. Very happy

Want to explore Boston while staying in an authentic Brownstone? This is your place. The property is located on Newbury Street. The food choices are endless no matter what your dietary needs/likes are. Shopping? the shops on Newbury are an experience in themselves but the property is directly across from the Prudential Center. Free parks, museums and colleges are also within walking distance. Public transit is abundant. The staff was beyond kind, informative and helpful. The space/lobby was comfortable and truly a place to enjoy the evening watching the city go by. The variety of free beverages offered makes up for the lack of a coffee maker- in room. There is an elevator, but the stairs if you take them, are original. They slant slightly which can be disorienting when navigating to the third floor. The parking was cheap for the city and worth it. The doors in the rooms don’t have a second latch, that and the doors to the outside not being locked made it feel a little unsafe. The views of Newbury Street and the Boston Sklyline made up for that. The staff went above beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend this stay.

This was a lovely place for a Boston getaway. It was clean, very comfortable, and great service from the staff. No breakfast, but excellent coffee available right downstairs. Plenty of dining and shopping options just a short walk down Newbury street.

We had a lovely stay here over Christmas. The rooms were so quaint and cozy. The beds super comfortable. Newbury Street was so beautiful it felt like a fairy tale. I especially loved the proximity to the Boston Common park area. The location was really perfect. We walked everywhere. Trying to go back again in the Spring…
