Homestays in Massachusetts, United States

This Summer, I came to Harvard University to continue my professional studies, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have stayed in such a beautiful home during my week here. My host , Nicole, has been exceptionally kind, thoughtful, and caring. From the very beginning, I felt warmly welcomed. She even picked me up from the airport, prepared breakfast for me, and generously told me to help myself to anything in the fridge. She also made delicious homemade desserts for me, which made the whole experience feel even more special. I feel truly blessed to have been able to call this beautiful house my home for the week. The surrounding neighbourhood is peaceful, elegant, and very safe, giving me a wonderful sense of comfort whenever I come and go. Although I need to take a taxi to Harvard each day, I feel it is absolutely worth it. Having such a quiet and relaxing environment has allowed me to rest properly, reflect on what I have learned, and fully focus on my studies. My host has even kindly allowed me to use her study, giving me a perfect space to read, work, and prepare for my Harvard programme. Sometimes I genuinely wonder how I became so fortunate to find such a beautiful home and such a wonderful host. All I can feel is gratitude. This peaceful home, together with my host’s kindness and thoughtful support, has made my Harvard learning experience even more memorable and enjoyable. I was able to complete my programme feeling happy, focused, supported, and deeply grateful. Thank you once again to my wonderful host for everything you have done for me. Your generosity and kindness have made this week at Harvard a truly special chapter of my journey. ❤️🙏

It is a 5-minute walk from the Red Line subway Andrew station, with convenient transportation, very clean and comfortable, providing drinks and fruits, and the boss is a foreigner and very friendly. It’s will be my first choice next time.

The owners were kind and professional. I did find a hair on my sheet from a head that certainly wasn't mine, which isn't that big of a deal but did ick me out a little. I had prepaid for a room with a shared bathroom for the floor and when I arrived, I was offered a room with a private bath for an extra fee. I didn't want to spend the extra money, but it would've been nice if they had offered it free seeing as it was empty anyway.

非常vintage的酒店，而且出行方便，距離new bury很近，酒店工作人員的服務態度很好，衞生也打掃的很乾凈。但畢竟年代久了設施有點老舊，木地板走路踩出來的聲音確實有點太響了。然後就是酒店的早餐其實是非常簡單的那種，介意的話可以去隔一條街的Tatte吃早餐。總體來説瑕不掩瑜。如果想體驗復古風格這裏很推薦。

I decided to go to see the Major League Baseball with my daughter and find a cheap hotel near Fenway Park and decide here. I was worried about security on my first trip to the United States, but the cityscape was calm and gentle, so I was able to stay with peace of mind. The building and rooms were nice. As in other word of mouth, it was difficult to bring large luggage up to the 4th floor without an elevator, but there was no problem because I was careful. Thank you for your kindness to the owner. I would like to stay here if I go to Boston again.

The Centerboard is a perfect place and has a wealth of history and heritage.  The room was in perfect condition.  The king bed was firm but also comfy and allowed me to sleep comfortably.  The Porch was an excellent place to sit and plan our walks to the downtown area.  Only 8-10 minutes away  Gary & Zita

A home away from home! Some of the B&Bs I have stayed in are beautiful but not warm/inviting.. this place was both. Great location, beautiful grounds and outstanding hosts ( my sister and I could have talked to Lisa (host) and Paul ( owner) all day! We will be back! Thank you!!

Absolutely perfect!! We couldn’t fault it.  Our breakfast was made fresh for us each morning and was delicious. Thank you Jennifer!

The best place to stay at Harvard. Gorgeous gorgeous common house.

It is a country apartment with a sense of age. It is located on the campus. The reception is friendly. The breakfast is very good. The afternoon snack is provided. The room is a bit cold. The waiter provides electric heating.
