  My wife and I enjoyed a stay at Prospect Place, in the Emma room, towards the end of a recent trip to New England. Of all the Bed & Breakfast accommodations we experienced on this trip, this was the most intimate. It could easily be a destination in its own right. But if you are visiting to see Boston and Cambridge access to public transportation is conveniently within walking distance and easily navigated. Eric went above and beyond by greeting us at the door, carrying our bags and reserving parking for us with his own personal vehicle. The breakfasts included yogurt, baked goods, granola, and a hot item (as well as coffee/tea/juice/etc). European style seating at a single main dinning table fostered conversation with other guests as well as the host. We had engaging but not overwhelming conversations with a corporate coach, an astrophysicist, and of course a musician/innkeeper! Eric and Judy’s recommendations for Cambridge/Boston sites and activities were spot on. This is a unique experience more akin to staying with a friend than staying in a corporate hotel. We found the booking experience easy, and communication about the bathroom we would be sharing with one other room to be clear and forthcoming. Everything related to that situation was well managed and effectively mitigated what might be an uncomfortable scenario. We had no problems with this at all. The only disappointment we experienced was that we did not convince Eric to play his beautiful Steinway grand piano for us. Perhaps on our next visit. :) All things considered, a stay at Prospect Place is an incredible value for guests looking for a bit more than just a place to sleep.

  The inn keepers, Eric and Judy, are so friendly and caring. They helped me park, greeted me by name when I arrived, and made sure I had everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and room was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast included freshly made scrambled eggs, yogurt, fruit and coffee cake. Definitely worth the money. Great location!

  A must stay in Cambridge/Boston! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was our first time to Boston and Eric and Judy’s place was a great base from which to explore Boston and it’s surrounds. A very short stroll to public transport and a bunch of great restaurants (Koreana, Oleana just 2)….that’s if you feel like eating after the delightful breakfast each morning (fresh fruit, granola, fresh bakes/pastries). 😋 A charming and comfortable space with most gracious hosts. 🙏❤️ PS Thanks for all the local advice and assistance.

  Prospect Place has cozy & unique spots for working remotely. Wallpaper, carpeted staircase, chiming clock give it charm. Very enjoyable for walkers like my daughter and me. Cambridge, Back Bay, even the waterfront & wharf area were a few skips, jumps and bridges away. Grand breakfasts as robust, think French toast, or as dainty, tea & scones, as you like including plenty of fresh fruit and aromatic, homemade granola. Plus an abundance of eateries nearby. Feels spacious, secure and friendly. Traveler from Virginia

  Eric was an incredible host. The place is clean and perfectly located. The scones at breakfast (sometimes offered) are amazing! My main recommendation for Eric is to be cautious of his talkativeness, be less chatty. Not every guest wants to have a conversation with the B&B host extensively, or at length at every breakfast. We enjoyed talking to you, but please be conscious of this with guests to create space for them to enjoy morning solitude or just talk to the person they’re staying with. Keep the conversations short :) Nonetheless a gem in Cambridge!
