Summary: Everything was nice, clean and a good neighborhood. Easy to grab a metro and only 15-20 min from the airport. Very nice staff.

Summary: It’s been a wonderful stay! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Accommodations have been wonderful for many reasons- one, it’s very clean. The beds are so comfortable and it’s a charming place! It’s been an excellent experience and being walking distance to Harvard yard is just great.

Summary: Delightful friendly place, quiet street, convenient location. Very comfortable. Large, clean well appointed room with all needed amenities. If I get back to Boston again this will be my first choice. If you have difficulty with stairs request a room on the first floor.

Summary: A gem of a property located on a very quiet Cambridge street. Easy access to anything in Cambridge. Run by a delightful "innkeeper" who will make sure you have a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Summary: I stayed at Ginkgo House on Harvard while attending a conference and couldn’t have been happier. The place was spotless, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere made me feel right at home. The location is super convenient—close to everything I needed. I’ll definitely recommend this place to all my friends and would love to stay here again. Thank you for a great experience!

Summary: Friendly staff, delightful historic and tastefully remodeled. Walking distance to Harvard

Yonina Jun 3, 2025 11:59:20 PM

Summary: For us, the location was perfect as it was a five minute walk in a very safe neighborhood to our daughter's apartment. The owner was very friendly and connected well with us, explaining the door lock mechanism and inquiring about our grandkids. Our room was clean, comfortable, and bright. The room was made up each day of our stay. New towels and water bottles were provided without having to request them. Hubby's only disappointment was the lack of a TV in our room. I definitely would reserve at Ginkgo House again.
