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.
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!
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.
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!
We arrived later than the posted check in and Gerard and we spoke on the phone and everything went well. We felt like we were home. The apartment is all that it said in the ad were very accurate. Quaint, cozy and no hotel hassle. The next time we visit we will definitely look for this place!
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.
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!
Gerard was a great host with excellent communication, perhaps one of the most attentive that I’ve ever experienced. The rental is just as cute as the pictures and centrally located to wonderful restaurants and shopping. I made the assumption while booking that the small couch was a pullout, it is not. The reference to a twin bed is a blowup. There is everything you need to cook meals. Great stay!!
