Best for
This apartment is best for travelers who want a self-catered, home-style stay with a full kitchen, washer access, and reliable basics like Wi-Fi, heating/air conditioning, and free parking. It can also suit guests who plan to use public transit, given the short walk to bus stops and Meriden train station. Guests who are sensitive to noise may want to consider the proximity to trains and the fact that it is part of an older, multi-unit house.
Travel tips
If you’re arriving by public transit, Meriden train station is roughly a 10–15 minute walk (about 613 m), and there are several bus stops within a few minutes on foot. Reviews indicate the home is near a train crossing; light sleepers may want to plan for potential train-horn noise, including later in the evening. Check-in is typically via a door code, so confirm the code and entry steps in advance.
What guests say
Guests commonly note convenient, code-based check-in and generally functional basics such as strong water pressure and plentiful hot water. A recurring downside is noise: reviewers mention hearing upstairs neighbors in the older house and frequent train horns from a nearby crossing. Cleanliness has been described as inconsistent, particularly around floors and overlooked areas. Some furnishings and fixtures have been criticized for comfort and practicality, including seating/bed comfort and a refrigerator with missing handles.
