Beautiful Apartment Near Yale

The apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable for our family. We stayed for a week with our kids and explored Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. It was perfect.

Home Away From Home

We stayed for 5 weeks to attend our son’s first 6 Yale football games. Colin snd Shelley were great hosts. They always addressed our questions, needs and concerns quickly. The apartment is just as described. It’s very comfortable and truly felt like our home away from home. The porch was the perfect fall reading spot. We walked to downtown easily and around the neighborhood with its charming markets and beautiful trees. Colin and Shelley even put out fall decorations on our front porch, complete with pumpkins and a bushel of hay! Thank you!
