“What a cool house and great hosts!
This B&B is even better in person than the beautiful pictures on their website. Wonderful in every way.

“I was so grateful to find this perfect B&B to stay in while visiting Boston. The location is excellent - a three minute walk to the Red Line "T" at Central Square and a bus stop is only 80 feet from the front door. I loved my room and particularly enjoyed the armchair with the throw blanket and lamp to enjoy a comfortable read in the evenings.
Amazing hosts who genuinely care about you that make this a true "home away from home."

“Thoughtful canopy on a quiet street, warm welcome in the chilling winds, ancient decorations in the beautiful house, together with the meticulous concerns in the hosts' tender hearts, build up a genial home far away from my own home. I enjoyed their harmonious family member relationships, drinking in their whispers from everyone's soul. Surely I am willing to stay with them again and again if I have chances to come to Cambridge in the future.”
— Jeffrey Mao

“Rather than a hotel or B&B, this place is like home. One of the nicest rooms I've ever paid for. Breakfast was delicious and the kindness of the owners cannot be explained using words.”
— Hector Z

“There is an inn called Prospect Place - an isle of solitude from Boston's rat race between Harvard and MIT and furnishings high class. Leaves memories that can't be erased.”
— Kevin M
“Simply put Prospect Place is a gem in Cambridge.”
— Kamal H
“Like being at home -- except a much bigger, more elegantly appointed home with a friendly inn keeper who makes you breakfast and cleans up after you!
Very convenient, clean and enjoyable.”
— Mark Lewis
“I spent 5 nights here in late July and found it just what I was looking for - a lovely change of pace from a hotel for my week's institute. It took 20 minutes to get to Harvard (Ed School - which is on the far side of Harvard Square) and the price was far less than what I was seeing offered for the hotels closer in. The home was lovely, Eric was very accommodating, breakfast was lovely and the window air conditioner was up to the task in the muggy weather. Two blocks to Central Square T stop and food coop right across the street. My family dropped me off and the approach was very easy from I 90. It's nice when B&B's, which I usually associate with vacationing - can work this well for a work week as well.”
— Frances Durkin
“Innkeepers were nice but the A/C was not working and had not been working for a while. It was hot in our room and the only recommendation they had was to open the window. I am from texas and it was still hard to sleep because of how hot it was. Breakfast was average but not bad.”

“From gracious hosts and charming decor to tasty breakfast fare served in style, it's an amazing Place, Prospect. Wonderfully convenient to transportation and places of interest. I book months in advance!

“Prospect Place is very conveniently located near the train station. Host's were extremely accommodating and served a delicious breakfast each morning! Meeting people from all areas of the world was an enriching experience. My daughter and I came to visit my son and left with an experience to remember and cherish always. Thank you Eric for being thoughtful and including my son as well. We enjoyed staying at your beautiful place and recommend it highly!”
— Robin Hill

— Phil Krichilsky
“What an incredible atmosphere of Victorian refinement and imagination is provided for anyone seeking solace in home-like setting. The spacious rooms allow one to breathe and stimulate the imagination with their high ceiling and charming decor. And one meets such interesting individuals at breakfast, which in itself is a tremendous treat with it choice of gourmet breakfast pastries, that are different every day, fresh fruit, eggs and omelettes, or grain cereals and yogurts.
