This unit can comfortably accommodate up to four guests, with the sofa converting into a comfortable bed. The unit is located just a few steps away from local restaurants, shops, and attractions, making it a perfect home base for exploring the city.
The area is quiet except for the occasional siren associated with an urban area and the bustle of cars as we are near a major street. If you are a light sleeper, please let us know.
The A/C unit is a window unit which means we prep and install them once the weather is consistently warm (70 or above) for a week or more before re-installing them for the summer months. We may provide portable fans if we have an unseasonably warm day or 2 in the early spring months. Please reach out to us if you have any questions regarding the A/C.
The heat is on all winter and into early spring. This system does not provide for individual unit control of the heat. We have provided portable heaters in the closet for added comfort. Please reach out with any questions.
Above all else we want to create the best stay for our guests!

This property was so lovely! Perfect for a long weekend stay and fulfilled my family’s purposes to be near the hospital. I felt safe in the area and the parking is super convenient. Marc was so quick to respond and brought us extra towels, blankets, and pillows immediately. The apartment is comfortable and warm and had everything we needed. The pull out couch is also fairly comfortable according to my father. Overall great stay and wonderful hosts!

Good value

OK location. Probably not for small children. Interior of apartment was nice but some of the furniture was pretty dated.

It was within walking distance of the appointment I had in Hartford and was very clean, but the neighborhood was very noisy.

Great location near the state capital

Great place near the state capital. Excellent option for an extended stay if work or activities bring you to this area of central Hartford. Mark, the property manager, is onsite and very friendly and accommodating. We extended our stay.

Why they chose this property

Buckingham Apartments are nestled in the heart of Downtown Hartford in the South Downtown district. You will find that we are 2 blocks south of Bushnell Park & approximately 200 yards from the Bushnell Auditorium on Capitol Avenue.
Our neighborhood is full of historic charm, Victorian era homes and buildings populate this area for blocks. This property was designed and built by George Zumner in 1927-1928, and I along with a small staff have been the caretaker of modernizing this building for the last 3 decades. The building is also occupied by other tenants of mine who are single dwellers and always very quiet. The building is safe, very clean and all tenants are respectful and polite. Each room has it's own special charm and we take great pride in our apartments. Each room is designed with our guests in mind and we go the extra mile to ensure that guests are comfortable and have everything they could ever need at their fingertips or a block or two away. Each room has it's own personality and special charm which makes it unique. You will definitely find quirky photos, historic event flyers and even unique pieces of furniture inside every room of the apartment!

What makes this property unique

Each room is designed with our guests in mind. You will find unique and eclectic pieces of furniture and decor in each room. We wanted to find a way to share Hartford's rich history in a way that will not bore our guests or take away from the thoughtful touches we put in each room of the apartment. We are conveniently situated in the heart of Hartford's South Downtown district which is technically a stone's throw from the wider downtown Metro area. Virtually everything is at your fingertips, restaurants, pubs, hole-in- the-wall bars, rail stations, parks, library and a gym are all within a 5-10 minute walk of Buckingham Apartments. You will find that the location is discrete, quiet and very private.
