Location & Nearby Highlights
The apartment is within walking distance of Baystate Medical Center and close to multiple bus stops including Chestnut / Baystate Medical Center Drive (about 203 m) and Main/Cumberland (about 205 m). Downtown Springfield attractions—including the Springfield Museums, Springfield Armory National Historic Site, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and the MassMutual Center—are roughly 2–3 miles away, and Six Flags New England is about 8 miles away. Nearby dining includes Latino's Kitchen (about 427 m) and El Sazón Criollo Restaurant & Pizza (about 950 m), with additional options in West Springfield a short drive away.
Best for
This apartment suits families or small groups who want multiple bedrooms with queen beds and a practical, meal-friendly setup (updated kitchen plus multiple dining tables). It’s also a strong fit for visitors coming for downtown Springfield events or hospital visits, given its quick drive to downtown and walkable access to Baystate Medical Center. Travelers who appreciate outdoor space will value the two balconies.
Travel tips
Plan on stairs to reach the unit even though the apartment itself is single-story; this can be important for travelers with limited mobility. For transit, several bus stops are within a short walk (including Chestnut / Baystate Medical Center Drive and Main/Cumberland), and Springfield Train Station is about 2.1 km away. If arriving during hot weather, note that cooling is via window A/C units, and it may take time to bring the temperature down after arrival.
What guests say
Guests commonly report that the apartment matches the listing, feels clean, and is comfortable once inside. The dining setup—especially the large table(s)—and the balcony are recurring highlights for families and groups. Location convenience is frequently noted, with quick access to downtown Springfield events. Reported drawbacks include confusion about the stair access (some expecting a different layout), occasional entry-code hiccups that were resolved quickly by the host, and the apartment being very warm on arrival during extreme heat with window A/C taking time to cool the space; a few guests also wished for more basic cleaning supplies for checkout tidying.
