I came to the United States to look at universities and happened to stay here. It is close to Harvard. The houses in the neighborhood are boldly colored and simple in structure. I took photos of them all and had fun going in and out every day.

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 is a very nice place. The neighborhood is good and quiet. It is a 7-minute walk to the Central T subway station. That station is one block either way from MIT/Kendall or Harvard Square. It is otherwise 15 or 20 minutes walk to MIT, for example. The room was good, with air conditioner and fan. WiFi worked very well and they had a good desk. Hosts are very nice as well. There is no breakfast, but they do leave out fruit and there is a kitchen. Overall, a nice stay.
