Stratford is a quaint little town, and the unit is located in the heart of the commercial district. It is easy to walk to some of the theaters and to great restaurants and more. The unit has one parking spots on site and a free lot just across the street. The two bedrooms are both very comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. In short, the place is great for a theatre excursion or anything else you need. We'll be back.
