Home away from home.

The house was fully equipped with everything I needed for my 6 night stay. It was comfortable and cozy with plenty of space for remote working and relaxing in the living area. The location was great. Everything was nearby - Whole Foods, cute shops and restaurants. Also there is an easily accessible walking path. I will stay here again if I’m back in West Hartford and I would highly recommend it.

Very Good Overall

After a small glitch to begin the stay, which the owner responded to quickly, it was a pleasant stay. The living area, kitchen and dining area are very nice. So is the front porch and the fire pit is also nice although we did not use it. The half bath on the first level was a nice plus. The stairs to the second floor bedrooms are a challenge for elderly
