The host was very quick to respond to our questions, both before and during our stay. The host was very friendly and accommodating, even helping us with parking our car. The Ginkgo house was very clean and smartly decorated. You could tell a lot of thought was put into the details so guests would be comfortable - from the shoe rack inside front door to the ear plugs on the bedside table, and the keypad for easy entry into the house. It was very quiet inside the house. So much so that we barely knew anyone else was staying there. The location was convenient - we were able to walk to MIT, Harvard Square &Harvard Yard, as well as across the bridge to the Back Bay. We would definitely stay here again!
