Wonderful stay
I had a lovely time at the Davies Inn. It was really quaint and comfortable. My room was nice , the bed was really comfortable. I really enjoyed the daily coffee French press at breakfast . Definitely recommend if you look for something quiet

Excellent location, close to Davis Square and Tufts which was our reason for visiting. Short walk to the T to get into downtown Boston and many fine restaurants nearby. House was in great shape and there was a pleasant sitting room which even had a cat to pet.

Very happy with our stay. We chose Davis Square Inn for the very close subway stop and were happy to find a lot of dining options in easy walking distance. Check in was easy and breakfast food were fresh and tasty. Definitely would stay again!

Room was a little musty.
The house was nice. But our room had a musty smell to it. Not sure if it was from the a/c or the carpeting in the room. But other than that we found the bed nice and the location was good for getting into downtown.

It is clean and quiet, but not convenient.
If you have lot of luggage it will be hard because there's no elevator for 2nd and 3rd floor room. If you stay more than one or two days, there is no laundry facility either. The 3rd floor room is essentially attic room

A wonderful Inn in Boston
Our day and a half in Boston was pretty disappointing as parking and traffic downtown were very frustratining. The only redeeming feature of our trip was the 2 nights at the Davis Inn. We found it to be a peaceful, comfortable, place in the midst of Cambridge/Sommerville area. We would
recommend it to anyone.

Well chosen stay
I do like the character of older houses especially when they offer all the modern amenities. The room was clean and comfortable with a microwave and fridge/freezer combo.The room had features well suited to my elderly age group. Easy access to premises. Well located for days in Boston and environs.
