Holiday rentals with breakfast in Cambridge

Enchanting Stay in Salem - Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of staying at this charming Airbnb in Salem, and I can't recommend it enough. The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating, making my experience truly special. Upon arrival, the city was drenched in rain, but Wendy, one of the hosts, went above and beyond. She lent me her umbrella so I could explore Salem without getting soaked such a thoughtful gesture! The room I stayed in was straight out of a magical movie. It had a cozy, whimsical vibe that perfectly matched Salem's enchanting atmosphere. It felt like I had stepped into a world of witches and wonder. As my departure approached, I was touched when the hosts offered to store my luggage at their home while I took one last stroll around the city before catching my train. This extra kindness made my trip even more memorable. If you're planning a visit to Salem, this Airbnb is a must-book. The hosts' warmth and the home's charm will make your stay unforgettable.

The house was very clean and organized. Additional seating in the living room would be nice and kings beds instead of queen size beds would be better. They left snacks and bottle water for us to have which was appreciated, but we found open gallons of beverages and open food packages in the refrigerator. We also questioned the sign in the kitchen stating no cooking allowed. Honestly, that’s why we stay at Airbnb’s Overall, our stay was comfortable.

Staying at Marylin’s felt like visiting a relative (one you actually like). She made us feel like family. The home and garden are beautiful, the area is peaceful and idyllic, and the accommodations were better than described. Marylin is warm, gracious, and full of wonderful stories. We usually keep to ourselves and this was our first time sharing a space, but she made it feel easy and natural. She was never intrusive, always respectful of our privacy, yet a joy to talk with. Where else can you cover art, computer programming, literature, and gardening over coffee? She served breakfast daily and provided excellent tips on where to explore. The location is ideal, with Wellesley College, the town center, and a scenic trail along Morse Lake all within walking distance. And then there is Lily, the sweetest little puppy. Playing fetch with her was pure joy. The room was spotless, the bed super comfy. Marylin is a treasure. A bad review of her would say more about the guest than the host.

Absolutely perfect stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and made sure everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and quiet. Would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience!

Second time staying here. Our favorite place out of all the homes we’ve stayed at. Super clean, comfy beds, and huge kitchen. Karen is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely will be back.

Absolutely beautiful and felt like home. My bedroom looked out over an enormous formal garden and the bay, with an easy walk to the "T". This will be my go-to place in Boston.

Carols place is a hidden gem. It was such a peaceful space to rest our heads at night, and it was an absolute joy to wake up to the sounds and view of nature. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We traveled as a family of five adults and one 2 year old. This house was perfect for us. We appreciated how it was set up for small children. We felt instantly comfortable, and at home. Very convenient to stores, restaurants, and the T stops. Before arriving I had questions about urban living with a toddler and Sophia kindly answered promptly. Great home, great communication! Thank you!

This was the cutest place! We all loved the garden space. The deck was very inviting. Rhona was kind enough to leave English muffins and butter for us. The selection of tea was fabulous! The bouquet and house plants made it feel very homey. There was an area close by that had a convenience store, a Dunkin Donuts, and a few decent restaurants. We would stay here again if we come back.

This place was amazing. I would come back here. I feel like we won the Airbnb lottery. It is nice to have a host that is a real person and not a company. This place is well taken care of. 1. It was much larger than I was expecting. 2. It was so clean. Probably the cleanest Airbnb I have been to. 3. There were basics in the cabinets like coffee and creamer ( such a nice touch). and some items in the fridge and freezer which made it really easy to start our day. 4. It was beautifully decorated and the garden was so pretty and nice to take coffee and wine out there. 5. We were here in the spring and it was an easy walk into town(15-20 minutes). We both like walking, but there was a spot for a car if needed. Thank you for such a wonderful time.!!

Beautiful house – fridge was stocked with eggs, butter, milk, and fruit upon arrival, as well as bathroom items. Clean and has good light and windows. It is super close to the beach! Owners are very accommodating. Highly recommend!!

Lavette put a lot of care into making sure her place was very welcoming and thought of lots of little things many bnb hosts do not. Neighborhood was quiet and the bed was as comfy. The kitchen had the basics like oil/spices/cookware which was nice. The towel warmer felt especially luxurious! As others mention, make sure you read the additional rules as there are a handful in addition to the bnb regulars you expect. If you are bringing a guest they will need to make an airbnb account and verify their identity if they have not already, which is not something we’ve been asked in the past, just as a heads up. Overall a lovely place to stay

David & Jenny’s place was exactly as described. We felt welcomed there and their communication was top notch! We had an enjoyable stay and recommend them as hosts!

I used to live in the Boston area, and know what neighborhoods work well when I come back to visit. Watertown is one of them, with the 71 bus to Harvard Square, express bus to downtown Boston, and very nice surroundings reachable by bicycle (Blue Bikes) : Watertown, Belmont, Newton etc. --- so Patrick's location is great. The BnB itself works seamlessly, with Patrick upstairs and two other guests on the ground floor with me. A cleaner comes to tidy. All is provided. Patrick is always reachable. Arrival is easy with a code. Overall, exactly like a B and B is expected to work. Patrick also has full apartment available on the top floor that I would love to use when coming with others.

This place was cozy, comfortable, clean and quiet. Very responsive owner. Easy to get to the city by public transportation or car. Will stay again!

great place, walking distance to transport. clean and with common living room and kitchen. clean and tidy.

Donnell was wonderful. He communicated detailed information before and was very friendly and welcoming. The space was as advertised and was comfortable. Would stay again!

Great place, would stay again.

Connie’s place was a dream. I loved everything about it: the space, the comfort, the quiet, the location. And Connie herself is wonderful. I could t have imagined a better place to stay for my first time in Cambridge.

Christie is a great host—very responsive to messages. Her place is clean and conveniently located near a subway station, with easy access to downtown Boston in about 40 minutes. Highly recommended!

We were just in for a quick evening but everything was communicated very appropriately.

A+. This place is why I come to Airbnb: unique, immersive, and full of character. I stayed in the Witches Dorm, and it felt like part of the adventure, not just a place to sleep. The decor was rich and authentic, and the common room was so cozy I spent hours writing and reading there. The 2 twin beds were comfy (even for a 6'1" guest.) Hope, the host, is fascinating and has some amazing stories, but also totally respects your space. She keeps the common area well-stocked with snacks, coffee, and drinks, which made mornings and late nights easy. Uber was always available and affordable (~$6–10), making it easy to get around if you don’t feel like walking the scenic 25–30 mins to downtown. The walk downtown can be super varied tho—walking along the coastline one day, thru a park the next, and a myriad of ways down tiny New England streets w cute houses all about the same travel time. My first time in Salem. Felt safe at all hours. Would absolutely stay at this property again. A+

Sad to be leaving. First morning I was awoken by the sounds of birds chitchatting and a warm inviting glow peeking through the windows. Open the French door and listen to the gentle rustling of leaves, the cool breeze flowing in. I could do this for longer. But it’s time to go back to reality. Thank you Joan for hosting. Your place is wonderful.

I enjoyed my stay at Natalie’s place. Not only is she a nice host, she is extremely responsive. The self check in made it easy to get in. I saw Natalie on my way out. She graciously offered me breakfast. Sadly I declined because I was in a rush to get to an appointment. I recommend her place!
