"The unit is spacious with 3 full bedrooms. It is very tastefully decorated, and well appointed with everything you will need. It was extremely clean when we arrived. The location is excellent. So many cute walkable eateries nearby, and the neighborhood is lovely. We had a delightful walk in East Rock Park.Noise sensitive guests should be aware that there are neighbors upstairs.
