Our stay last President’s Day weekend at Ginkgo House exceeded beyond our expectations. It is very clean, organized and quiet place to relax and enjoy. A big plus is that it is walkable to all the areas we need to go to and restaurants are nearby. Nancy was one of the best staff and she made us feel so comfortable. We felt like we are so much closer to home because of her hospitality, we will definitely return.

Close to Central and Inman squares. Quiet neighborhood. The terrace looks like it would be nice if it wasn't 15 degrees. Appreciate the kitchen access and on site parking.

Owners super kind and very accommodating. Space was clean, quiet, and in a super convenient spot. Was able to get to Boston by train with the train stop being only an 8 minute walk away. Will be coming back with my family one day. 10/10 recommend. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Well maintained property in a convenient but quiet neighborhood. Nicely kept interior, very clean. A bit poor sound proof so it gets noisy if someone talks or walks.
