We pretty used the property just to sleep as we were on the go most of the time. Comfortable and everything we needed was there. Enjoyed the brightly colored decor and the submarine pictures. Convenient to downtown, to Old Mistik Village, Grey Sail Brewery, and the Subforce Museum/USS Nautilus.

Lovely spot in a creative and comfortable use of the whole downstairs of a mid-entry style single family home. We felt so at home over our four day stay that we added to the decor by purchasing a marble base gold spindle paper towel dispenser for the kitchen counter. Our hope is that the next time we are visiting family in Mystic that Gwen’s unit is available!!!!!

The place was as advertised.. However the furniture in sitting area was uncomfortable. We needed to empty the dehumidifier several times during the day. Gwen was most gracious .

We enjoyed our stay in Gwen's Key West apartment. It was exactly what we were looking for in Mystic. The apartment is clean and even though Gwen lives in Key West the tenant upstairs is Gwen's cohost. We had one concern on the day we checked in and Gwen and Sarah worked together to promptly address it for us. We appreciated the family history that Gwen provided, especially the paintings from her mom and the artifacts of her father's Navy service. I enjoyed the access to the property out back and the trails behind the house. You can connect to an extensive hiking trail in the nature preserve that passes through the entirety of Groton, mainly in the woods. I would recommend Gwen's place.

Perfect place for a small family

This place was fantastic for our small family of 3. The location is perfect for enjoying Mystic, and the yard was amazing for us and our little daughter.

This was an amazing place to stay and Gwen was very responsive both before and during our stay. The tips and recommendations that were given were extremely helpful. We very much enjoyed the eclectic decor and the “home on vacation” feel. We would absolutely stay here again.

I appreciate your rating. It’s not clear if “funky” was meant in a positive or negative way, as it’s definitely often used by our guests to describe the colorful décor in several past 5-star reviews :). Since our cleaning person is located on site we’re sorry we didn’t have the chance to make things right during your stay. We hope you enjoyed your time in Mystic, and thank you again for visiting!

The property was very clean, had all the essential amenities we needed for a three day trip, and my four year old was obsessed with the decor. The neighborhood was quiet and had sidewalks for us to take nice evening strolls. We were within walking or driving distance to everywhere we wanted to do, no more than 10 minutes from everything we needed. We had a great stay and would definitely come back in the future!

Cozy with eclectic decor

This was enough to meet our needs for the amount of time we spent there. Was disappointed in quality of available cookware and lack of attention to cleaning in certain areas.

Hi Margaret Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm glad to hear that the space met your needs during your stay, and I truly appreciate your perspective as someone with experience in cleaning airbnbs yourself. I’m very sorry that some aspects of the cookware and cleanliness did not initially meet your expectations. As you mentioned, I addressed the concerns within an hour of being notified, and I always aim to respond quickly to ensure our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of during the rest of your 10 day stay here. We were also happy that we could accommodate your request for an additional night at the end of your stay! Your comments have been shared with our cleaning team to help improve our quality checks moving forward. We value all guest feedback as it helps us continue to raise our standards as we gear into our hopefully busy spring and summer season! Thank you again for staying with us, and I wish you all the best in your future travels.

A gem

We had a great stay. The fire pit was awesome. We had a little problem with outlets in the kitchen, but Sarah upstairs helped us to get them working. Gwen was available by text through the whole process. Would definitely stay there again. Comfortable, quiet and funky.

Anniversary night in mystic

Overall this property was very cute and cozy! It was accurately described in the listing. Minor issue with the garage door entrance but it was addressed quickly and didn’t affect our stay. Tenant upstairs was helpful and polite and we still had our privacy. I would stay here again :)
