Colin and I live just a few blocks away. We like to give guests their space, but we are always more than happy to stop by if you need any help.

Our home is located in the historic Prospect Hill section of New Haven. This neighborhood is home to perhaps the finest architecture in the entire city - a collection of large mansions from the mid to late 19th and early 20th century. These homes once belonged to wealthy industrialists, Connecticut governors, elite educators, and business luminaries. Many of these properties have been wonderfully restored in the past few decades and the area now offers terrific opportunities for architecture fans and history buffs.

weekend in New Haven and Yale area

This wonderful property is updated, immaculate, and provided a wonderful stay for our family. It's on a quiet street with ample parking. I enjoyed a peaceful cup of coffee sitting on the porch each morning. The amenities were great, and we appreciated the great work of the hosts in making things easy for check-in and having everything ready for us. Highly recommended!

Yale Football Camp Mini Vaca

The property is just as pictured - very beautifully decorated, clean and relaxing. My husband, mostly adult children & I enjoyed our time there immensely! The apt had everything we needed and we thoroughly loved hangong out on the peacful porch in the mornings and watching movies at night. It's close to Yale and downtown so my daughter and I had a lovely walk through the campus which led us into downtown. The host was friendly and fast with responces. It was a WONDERFUL stay and I would love to come back!

New Haven stay

The apartment was very well appointed. Lovely colors and appliances although we didn't cook. Beds very comfortable. Easy to find with plenty of parking. Several old and empty homes on the street but we felt safe and it was quiet.
