Charming Historic 2BR Retreat in New Haven – Cozy Stay Near Yale & Downtown!

The home was quaint, spacious and clean. It had pretty much everything we needed; kitchen tools, bathroom items, an iron for each room. Loved the remotes for the ceiling fans and lights. Loved the separated formal dining area, though I didn’t use it because I only had my grandchildren and the kitchen table was more than ample. I would definitely stay here again. Hosts were immediately responsive. Double locks made me feel secure with just my grands and I. Good location to major road arteries.

We were in town for 2 nights for a youth sports tournament and had plenty of space in this unit for our family of 4 and our dog. The owner was easy to communicate with and quickly responded to and rectified any issues that we had. It is a 2nd floor unit which required navigating a narrow, winding staircase but that didn’t present a problem for us but is something to keep in mind for anyone with mobility issues. As it is an older building, there is not central AC, however the 2 bedrooms did have window units and fans and there was also a ceiling fan in the LR. When temps got quite warm in the main spaces during our summer weekend stay, the owner quickly brought us a large fan to help circulate the cool air from the bedroom AC units and it kept us comfortable during our 2 night stay. The beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. Certain items could use replacing such as the curtains & towels, but we enjoyed our stay as it gave us much more space for our family than a hotel would have offered. The unit was reminiscent of my old college apartment that had been one large house converted into several separate units. While we suburbans were a little uncertain at first based on the building’s outside appearance and urban location, in this case I would definitely say “dont judge a book by its cover” as we had a pleasant stay with our 2 children and we walked our dog around the neighborhood several times. We enjoyed being close to Yale and going to Sally’s pizza while in town

The host was great and responded to all of our questions and issues very quickly and let us check in early after our flight landed early. The space was great for what we needed, but I would note the floors are a little thin so you can hear residents above and below pretty easily.

It was nice and the photos matched the stay .. our only issue was the heating it was cold our whole stay . Overall great place .
