This is a large, clean, and comfortable 2nd floor 1- bedroom apartment with its own, large, well-equipped kitchen and its own private entrance. Close to New Haven, Bridgeport, Fairfield County. Ideal for solo travelers and work professionals. The apartment is bright and sunny, but has room darkening shades and curtains, when needed. It is equipped with all the conveniences of home to make your stay as comfortable and homey as possible. Your Host and housemate (separate apartment on the premises) would be a mature schoolteacher who is accommodating and friendly, while respectful of guests' privacy. This is its own unit, a 2nd-floor apartment in a quiet, 3-family house in a quiet, residential neighborhood of a small, walkable, livable city that's an easy 20-minute drive to Yale, New Haven, Waterbury, and Bridgeport. This rental is ideally suited for travel professionals, medical students on clinical rotations, travel nurses, interns, and other professionals on contract with local companies. I welcome longer term rentals. I do ask guests staying more than 2 weeks to sign a rental agreement that I provide prior to booking. The unit has ample storage, is very close to the library, many grocery stores, banks, shopping, post office, Restaurant Row, and a train that connects to NYC and other points north and south -- all available within very easy walking or driving distance. Parking is no problem and is free and easily available on the street right outside the house. Pets are considered on a case by case basis, sometimes with an extra fee, to be arranged prior to booking.
