Travel tips
Plan for a fourth-floor walk-up: there is no elevator, so packing light can make arrival easier. The closest bus stop (Howe St & Edgewood Ave) is essentially at the corner (~17 m), and Connecticut State Street Station is about 1.18 km away for rail connections. Parking can be handled via street spaces (free or metered) or a paid reserved lot spot when available.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight cleanliness and a well-appointed setup, describing the studio as comfortable and adequately spacious for its size. The updated bathroom and overall convenience of the walkable location (near Yale and dining) are recurring positives. The most frequent downside noted is access: it’s a fourth-floor walk-up without an elevator, which can be difficult with heavy luggage. Some guests also mention occasional street noise at night and a few small practical gaps (e.g., linens/towel-hanging convenience and occasional quirks with entry/lockbox instructions).
