The property is very attractive and the staff is attentive, but the walls are very thin and you hear everything in the next room. My stay was marred by a neighbor who coughed nonstop day and night. If privacy or silence is important to you, this place might not be for you.

Fall Stay in Boston
Had a lovely stay at the Ginkgo House with the owners being very friendly and helpful. The House is well laid out and I appreciated the kitchen and cozy dining room. My room was simple but very comfortable. I didn’t realize it was a shared bathroom until I arrived but even though there were other guests, there was never a time when the bathroom was occupied (so it was totally fine). The location is super quiet in a great neighborhood that is walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc….

This property was a wonderful surprise! We were making a connecting flight in Boston, but our plane was late and we missed our flight. We could not get a flight for 2 days and just needed a place to stay. When we booked Gingko House we had no idea where we would be or what it would be like. We were pleasantly surprised and everything about was perfect! We would def stay there again if ever in Boston. The staff were so helpful and nice and the entire house and our room were extremely clean and comfortable. Thank you Gingko House for turning our bad situation into a great experience.
