Guests love the free continental breakfast, complimentary Wi-Fi, and the relaxing front porch—perfect for winding down after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 5-minute walk from the Davis Square T station, giving you quick, direct metro access to Boston’s live music scene without the hassle of parking downtown. The neighborhood is quiet at night, so you can rest easy after a high-energy show.

Food and Drink Options

Bowers House starts your day right with a fresh continental breakfast including pastries, fruit, Greek yogurt, gourmet coffee, and more—great for those who stayed out late. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by walkable dining options in Davis Square, from casual bites to craft cocktails. Late-night cravings? Several eateries nearby stay open into the night.

Nightlife Options

While the B&B itself keeps things mellow, Davis Square is known for its indie bars and local music spots. You’ll find quirky pubs, craft beer bars, and live music venues all within walking distance. It’s the perfect balance of access and atmosphere.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor rave about the location, describing it as “ideal for exploring Boston without the crowds.” The clean, modern rooms and friendly hosts get frequent praise, and many note how peaceful the area is at night. The porch and breakfast are often called out as standout features.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a full-service hotel, so if you’re looking for 24/7 room service or a buzzing lobby scene, this might not be your style. The vibe is more relaxing retreat than party hub—but for many concert-goers, that’s a plus.

The Bottom Line

Bowers House Bed and Breakfast is a quiet, comfortable home base with quick access to Boston’s venues—perfect for music fans who want charm, convenience, and a good night’s sleep.

The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with all necessary amenities. Our host was very kind and attentive, offering great local tips. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Disliked: Being English we like tea, we could have bolied water in the microwave which was readily available in the well stocked kitchen but we really prefer it to be made with water that is boiling. A very small point because the coffee machine was great .

It was pure luck for...

Liked: The location of the property is so good that you could get to the red line in less than 10 minutes walk, from there you could easily navigate around Boston, especially the dream schools :-). They also offer free parking which is so rare and convenient in Boston. Also,there are so many restaurant choices around that house you could easily find the one you like. Plus an H Mart within 5 mins walk. It just couldn’t be nicer! Christina and Steven are so nice that they offered us so many advices both for our trip and our rising senior son. Hope we could meet again in Beijing!
