Birch Suite- 2nd Floor Apartment with Kitchenette in front of Smith College

Well located and sweet small apartment- very comfortable.

Wonderful place for a couple. Lots of nearby restaurants and nice off street parking. Our second visit-we plan to return.

I was there during a blizzard and was happy there was an off-street parking lot. It and the driveway were plowed/shoveled quickly. However, I needed some instructions how to crank up the heat (I'm from Florida and we rarely use heat). Once I realized there was a valve that needed to be turned, place warmed up nicely. The unit is very cute and there's more room than you'd expect from the description. The kitchenette is actually a nice-sized room with table and chairs, a built-in kitchen sink and enough dishware for simple takeout or microwaved meals. Bedding was comfortable. This is an older house so the stairs from the semi-private entrance to the second-floor apartment are steep if you have luggage to carry. Not impossible by any means but steep. But it's nice to have the entrance off the parking lot side of the house instead of having to walk around to the front. The host was available and helpful.

Great location for downtown shopping and eating, close to campus, with good off-street parking. Rooms were clean and pleasant and comfortable. Instructions from the host were clear and reasonable. Enjoyed my stay!
