Bowers House Bed and Breakfast 9 Bowers Avenue, Somerville, MA 02144

"Bowers House was a fantastic place for our stay in Boston. The location is in a safe and lovely area with plenty around it (nice restaurants, bars, shops, etc.) and is just around the corner from Davis Square which is on the red line that goes straight into the city. Stephen was a great, friendly host and provided plenty of handy recommendations and a lovely breakfast was available each day. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!"

"I booked a room here so I could stay in the area while my husband had spinal surgery. After I booked my reservation I called the B&B to discuss my situation. I spoke with Christina, one of the owners, and explained that I may need an extra night or two but I wouldn't know for certain until the day after his surgery when the Doctor could assess his progress. She said 'ok just let me know'. We checked in Sunday, I brought my husband to the hospital on Monday and when I returned to the B&B Christina was waiting for me to ask when I would be out of the room as she gave it to someone else. We had an exchange that was unpleasant. Long story short... these people only care about money... they are NOT a warm & fuzzy, or friendly B&B... they do not care about you or have any interest in anything beside you paying them. Bed was terrible..... and I won't even get into the issues with the TV! Stay if you want, but be careful they don't give your room away!"

"I did not know what to expect, this was my first time staying anywhere other than an actual hotel. It was a pleasant surprise. The room was up a few flights of stairs and very clean with great add on like TV, Internet, extra blankets, liquid soap and shampoo. A shared kitchen with coffee, daily continental breakfast pastries, juice, milk, yogurt. You can place food in the fridge and use the microwave. It’s extremely close to public transportation and Davis square. Worth the stay!"

"Cozy and comfortable B&B steps away from the main drag of restaurants and the subway line. Steven and Christina are great hosts that offered so many great tips for navigating Boston and the surrounding area. The only con was that the pillows in our room were a little flatter than we would have liked but not a big deal."

"Christina and Steven are the best hosts and are simply incredible people (I didn't have a chance to meet you Steven during my stay; next time!) The B&B is extremely clean and welcoming. I had a lovely chat with Christina and received some great recommendations. Other guests were just as warm and welcoming too. The neighbourhood is quiet, yet Davis Square is lovely and lively in the evening. Close to restaurants, a grocery store, the Davis Square subway station, bars. It is very easy to get in and out of Boston and Cambridge. I just walked pretty much the entire time I was there and once I was tired, just hop on the Red Line and you're 4 minutes away from the B&B! Travelling during a pandemic can be nerve-racking but the policies in place Bowers House takes the stress away. Spotless and clean and the rooms have disinfectant spray and hand sanitizer throughout the property. I'm at odds posting this review as Bowers House is a bit of a hidden treasure in the area! Greetings from Toronto to you!"
