About this property

This newly completely renovated bright apartment with a private entrance provides a step back in time to the late 19th century. Antique sink, tub, cabinetry, and furnishings lend a special feel in the center of downtown on a quiet street. Sleep on a new, top of the line organic Avocado mattress in a huge 14 x 18 bedroom with an attached 5 x 7 sunny alcove. Or settle into a cozy bedroom with an antique iron double bed.

The living room has a smart tv for you to connect to your streaming services, games, and a take it or leave it library.

Free early check-in or late check-out when available.

Sustainability practices abound, beginning with a renovation focused on maximizing energy efficiency and reuse of materials, to the environmentally friendly cleaning products, washable cloths in lieu of paper towel, garbage cans that get washed instead of lined with plastic bags, etc.

Please note: steeper stairs up to the apartment and there is no dishwasher. Contact me before booking if you need laundry facilities.

"Low scent" means that only unscented and natural cleaning and laundry products used. Guests are asked to not use perfumes or colognes or heavily scented products.

Delightful oasis

Charming home, with lots of original details lovingly restored. We were welcomed with a plate of fresh cookies. Owners are super responsive and eager to please. The neighborhood is quiet, tree-lined, and peaceful. Close to downtown Northampton, easy walk to Smith College. The place was clean and uncluttered and stocked with coffee, tea, and cooking supplies. the bathroom was also well stocked with soaps, shampoo, and lotion. They really thought of everything. We were very happy with our accommodations and would choose this home first for our next trip. Thank you!!!!

Great location and comfortable stay

Quite a find in pricey Northampton. Within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Small but very comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, but it was perfect for what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Debra

I am originally from Montreal. I moved to the area 24 years ago to be near farms, forests, and a caring community. I bake, engage in social justice work, visit all of the local ice cream spots whenever possible, and make daily decisions about how to protect the beautiful world that I get to live in.

Why they chose this property

Like much of Northampton, this neighborhood has easy access to cultural and culinary resources, while having places to walk or bike right nearby.

What makes this property unique

Most importantly, guests can feel comfortable knowing that they aren't going to be sleeping in scented linens or exposed to toxic cleaning products. This is homeowner business where I do everything from buying the coffee to dusting the pipes. I am interested in acclimating guests to the many wonderful things the area has to offer, and I am very accessible. This property is a great choice for people who appreciate a historic space that has been redone from top to bottom in a respectful manner while maximizing environmental sustainability.
