This was a large, very comfortable place for a couple. Great kitchen facilities and easy access to Fairfield and Westport. The host was very responsive, and clearly wanted to be sure we had a good time. Also, the simplest checkout process ever! Highly recommended.
Absolutely AMAZING ,property! Everything was wonderful from check-in to check-out. The quirkiness from the history of the building made it even more enjoyable. Very well appointed, and Gerald was incredibly responsive regarding anything that I may have needed. Highly recommend!
This rental is a great place to stay for 2 people and are dog. Exactly the way described. Wonderful restaurants close by. Very clean I would stay again in a minute. Thank you
Gerard was excellent in communicating and checking in. The property is adorable and has all necessary items and then some.
Close to downtown Fairfield and shopping and restaurants.
The studio was cozy, bright, and very comfortable. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. It's a great spot and we'd definitely stay again.
This apartment offered everything we wanted. We stayed two weeks and enjoyed our stay. In particular we want to thank our host, Gerard who went the extra mile to ensure we had a very pleasant stay.
We plan to return next year.
My husband and I spent a wonderful few days in Westport in this cute and clean studio apartment. Gerard is an excellent host and included helpful information to assist us and make our stay most enjoyable!
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cut our stay short, but Gerard was very accommodating and responsive during this process! The space is just as advertised and the workspace below is great!
I have to drive around all day for work so it’s nice to have dinner options that I can walk to. Studio had everything needed. Bed was comfortable. Would 100% recommend!
