Had a great time at this property! It was very beautiful and had everything we could have hoped for. Will definitely stay here again next time we’re in New Haven!
The place was nice and had everything we needed for the weekend. It was very clean. We would definitely stay again if we needed to come back to the area.
This was a perfect spot for my family of 4, close to schools, shops & within walking distance of many great destinations. The space is beautiful and clean which can be very hard to come by!
The apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable for our family. We stayed for a week with our kids and explored Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. It was perfect.
This property is definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed in New Haven. It is very clean and comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood is quiet. We had everything we needed. We really liked this place. We travel a lot to New Haven, and plan on using this place again whenever it’s available.
We stayed for 5 weeks to attend our son’s first 6 Yale football games. Colin snd Shelley were great hosts. They always addressed our questions, needs and concerns quickly. The apartment is just as described. It’s very comfortable and truly felt like our home away from home. The porch was the perfect fall reading spot. We walked to downtown easily and around the neighborhood with its charming markets and beautiful trees. Colin and Shelley even put out fall decorations on our front porch, complete with pumpkins and a bushel of hay! Thank you!
Our stay was lovely. The beautiful apartment was well-maintained and stocked with the essentials. The hosts were responsive and helpful with any issues we had. We would recommend it to anyone coming to New Haven.
The property is very clean and very pretty! It was perfect for our group's 9 day stay including work calls, cooking, and walking to and from Yale's campus.
We are a husband-wife team, local to New Haven, CT. We love this city and have devoted our lives to restoring houses and creating beautiful spaces for both guests and city residents to enjoy. Outside of our business, we enjoy spending time with our children, biking around the city, gardening, visiting with family and friends, and traveling.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located in the historic Prospect Hill section of New Haven. This neighborhood is home to perhaps the finest architecture in the entire city - a collection of large mansions from the mid to late 19th and early 20th century. These homes once belonged to wealthy industrialists, Connecticut governors, elite educators, and business luminaries. Many of these properties have been wonderfully restored in the past few decades and the area now offers terrific opportunities for architecture fans and history buffs.
