The house is exactly as described in the description. Very clean and quiet. Being across the street from a delicious pizza place was a nice bonus. Plenty of room to eat and hang out and relax with friends.Staying here instead of a hotel is a no-brainer.
We knew this was an old factory worker home. We knew there were sloped ceilings upstairs. Not a problem for us. The walk in shower was a plus. Lots of towels available. Many partially used toiletries were available but we brought our own. The bed was comfortable. The old floors had been replaced . The bath and a half was a plus. New washer and dryer was great. There was plenty of room in the kitchen, dining area, and living room. More flatware would be useful. New appliances were very nice. There were only two of us so there was plenty of room. The living room furniture was not comfortable. The TV remote was hard to figure out. The Shark vacuum started in the middle night and we did not know what all the banging was downstairs. The unit is across from the fire department and the alarm went off during the night but when it stopped we went right back to sleep. Street noise was minimal. There is a nice park across the street and a pizza parlor across the street. There is easy access off the highway (I-395). The dogs were very friendly and greeted us each time we arrived back each night. Linda was very helpful if we had a question, otherwise she did not bother us. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.
I rented this house for a family wedding a couple miles away, so it was very convenient! I had a family issue that came up and the host was so accommodating and understanding! She was very kind and responded quickly to messages! Would definitely rent this place again!!
The home was easy to find, there was a small problem with unlocking the door but the host was very helpful. We werenât aware that weâd be sharing a wall with the host (duplex style) but we honestly never heard the host!
My husband came down with my adult son and his girlfriend for a quick weekend getaway to enjoy some sights in Mystic as well as an eveyshow at Mohegan Sun. This was the perfect distance in between both. It was a charming duplex with all the amenities and space we needed and the beds were especially comfortable. On the plus side if youâre a dog lover the owners 2 dogs are extremely friendly! Would highly recommend for any looking for a stay in the area.
Overall it was a decent VRBO. Beds were very comfortable but bedrooms did not have tvs and were smaller than pictured (had attic ceilings). Plenty of eating space and stocked well but seating in the living room was not comfortable for family of 4. Also did not realize that it was a 2 family and host was on the other side.
The house was cute and comfortable for our stay. The beds were comfortable , Linda is in property , friendly. And helpful. The house looks just like the pictures. Linda has 2 super cute and friendly dogs. The location is right off the freeway with easy access to the surrounding area.
This property is perfect for a family stay and close to the casino which we went to. Everything was clean and described wonderfully. Off street parking which was nice as well. Host was very communicative and responded quickly.
We enjoyed our stay! The place was right off the highway and convenient to stores and casinos!!
Very steep stairs access the bedrooms, and the ceilings on the upper level are slanted.
The property is in good condition. Parking is an issue, but we were told about this in advance.
We asked the host for any spare holiday decorations, and she provided a nice little tree and ornaments.
We did have an issue, the stairs in this house are extremely steep. We inquired about the steps since my elderly mom was traveling with us. The host stated that there are only 12 steps. I feel the host should have said that these stairs are very steep and not good for an elderly person. There was no sleeping accommodation on the main floor which might have alleviated this issue.
Also all of the bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs had slanted ceilings that resulted in a few bumped heads.
We had to book a hotel room for sleeping and showering. I contacted the host immediately and as expected was denied any type of refund.
We continued to use the house in the daytime for visiting with family, etc. A large pot would have been nice to have. I bought one and gave it to my daughter who lives in CT
This trip cost us an additional $700 since we had to reserve a hotel room and still pay for the VRBO.
We did try to get a partial refund from VRBO after we got home but were told it was too late. They communicated with the host and we did receive a tiny refund of $62.
Overall, this house is acceptable, if you know about the stairs and slanted ceilings in advance and are ok with them.
Great house, very home like and comfortable. Only problem we had was microwave didnât work but we didnât message owner as it was no big deal to use.
We were in town for a convention at the casino. It was close by, and even though we had to stay super late at the casino for the convention, check in was super easy. The place was cute and convenient. Her dogs are adorable and the rumba definitely accidentally scared us in the middle of us watching a horror movie đ
Great communication, good location across from a pizza restaurant, check in was easy, 13 min to the casino if you like that, bedrooms & bathrooms upstairs have slanted ceilings.
The puppies are also adorable. :) This was easy to find and accessible to where we needed to be. There is parking, but I will say it's sometimes challenging to get back out of the parking area. Nonetheless, I would happily stay here again, and the host was very kind.
Linda was great to work with and very quick to answer any questions we had. The house is cute, and she did a great job renovating, but has low ceilings over the beds due to the age of the home. It's really not an issue as long as you pay attention. It is on a fairly busy road, but we didn't really notice the noise inside the home. She provides all you could need (bedding, dishes, utensils, towels, etc.) and is not far from shopping, so it's easy to cook your meals at the house. The house is only 3 hours from the furthest tip of Cape Cod, where you can go whale watching, and it's a fairly pleasant drive. Boston is less than 2 hours away, or you can stay local and still have lots to do. We enjoyed our stay!
Retired great grandmother. You will see me outside working in my flower and vegetable gardens, or riding off on my bicycle. I love meeting people from all over the country and the world. I have traveled throughout Europe myself using short-term rentals, so I know what the guests will find helpful.
This house is 160 years old and was built to house workers from a mill that used to be across the street. The mill burned down and in its place is now a beautiful riverfront park with a playground, a basketball court, a soccer field and walking paths. https://www.walknorwich.org/ https://iconicnorwich.org/
It is centrally located between Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. Only 1/2 mile from an entrance to 395, either casino and beaches can be reached within minutes.
