The apartment is over 1,000 sq ft and includes a living area with floor-to-ceiling windows plus a 4K TV for in-unit entertainment.

Location & Transit Access
Set downtown in New Haven, the apartment sits near multiple transit options, including Congress Ave & Lafayette (bus) about 95 m away and Connecticut State Street Station (train) about 897 m away. Tweed New Haven Airport is roughly 5.7 km from the property, while larger regional airports (Bradley, LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, and others) are significantly farther. Reviews note a convenient location while also advising general awareness of surroundings in the neighborhood.
Stay Requirements & Cleaning
All stays require completion of a secure online check-in and uploading a valid photo ID for identity verification and safety screening. Stays of 30+ nights require the primary guest to provide an SSN and complete a soft credit check with a minimum score of 640 (not affecting the credit score). The property highlights deep cleaning and sanitizing prior to every guest.
Best for
This apartment is best for travelers who want downtown New Haven access with extra space—especially couples and families—thanks to its 2-bedroom/2-bath layout and 1,000+ sq ft footprint. It also suits guests who value self-catering and longer-stay comforts, with a full kitchen, washer, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. Active travelers will appreciate the 24/7 fitness center and outdoor grill area.
Travel tips
If you plan to use public transit, several bus stops are within a short walk (as close as ~95 m), and Connecticut State Street Station is under 1 km away. Expect to complete secure online check-in and upload a photo ID before arrival; longer stays (30+ nights) have additional screening requirements. The apartment is centrally located downtown; reviews suggest using normal city awareness in the surrounding area, especially at night.
