Ginkgo House on Harvard

We had such a wonderful stay at the Ginkgo House on Harvard! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The hosts were so kind and welcoming, they genuinely went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, even with our two little ones in tow. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, and the beds were so comfortable after long days exploring Cambridge. The location couldn’t be better. It was an easy walk to Harvard Square, great coffee shops, and playgrounds, yet tucked away enough to feel calm and quiet. It was the perfect balance. It was also a huge plus the place had a kitchen to prepare our own food, a dining room to share meals and a living area to lounge and read books. We’re so grateful for such a lovely experience and would absolutely

Having been to Cambridge many times, I’d never been to the Gingko House. Conveniently located between Harvard and MIT, it was lovely all around. Everything was walkable and safe. The hospitality offered by Nancy was extraordinary—from the reservation experience through arrival, my stay and all the way through to my late afternoon departure. The common areas were pristine (and decorated for the holidays). The rooms were cozy and clean and quiet. All of the amenities, none of the headache. The Gingko House will be at the top of my list for future stays!

I stayed here during graduation weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. The location was perfect—close to everything and convenient during such a busy time. The room was spotless and comfortable.I loved the no–outdoor-shoes policy inside, which really added to the clean and cozy feel of the space. The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful, with touches like graduation balloons and a bottle of champagne waiting in the room.

Our first stay in Cambridge and Ginkgo House made it such an enjoyable and very memorable visit. We were just a few blocks from our daughter’s apartment, and it was another short and enjoyable walk to several mass transit options, Whole Foods, and many wonderful places to grab a bite or just some coffee. The house itself was so cozy and comfortable, and having use of the wonderful kitchen really came in handy. We also met several other guests that we unexpectedly struck up friendships with. But the staff, especially Nancy, were so helpful from the moment we stepped through the door until we were on our way again after four fabulous days. We are definitely coming back to Ginkgo House again soon. We highly recommend it!

Clean, cozy, and courteous--the Ginkgo House was a perfect stay for our family of four for two nights. The friendly staff made us feel at home. The location was an ideal home base to explore Cambridge (walkable to Harvard campus) and Boston at large. The rooms were clean and comfortable. And you can't forget the onsite parking available as well! We will definitely be back. Thank you Ginkgo House team!
