Very good location, close to many attractions and in a quiet street . Good space for children to play and cozy sofa in the living room.I would stay again with My family. I would organize better the silverware, tools for kitchen an pots an pans. They were in many different drawers so had to Open each time, 2 or 3 drawers and cabinets to find things and had only 2 glasses for wine, no kitchen cloths towels.

Great location with its close proximity to Mystic aquarium, Mystic Seaport Museum, Old Mystic Village shops, downtown Mystic (drawbridge/shops), restaurants, etc… Also close enough for some great day trips to places like Newport, RI (shopping, trolley-Breakers Mansion tour, etc) The lower level bedroom is NOT private from the lower level living room/kitchenette- wish we had understood that before coming. LOTS of steps/stairs- so be aware of that if mobility is a concern. A/C in bedrooms are just bad… although fairly ‘new’ looking they are very noisy and don’t cool the rooms properly. Communication with property managers was tense at times. Don’t contact them unless it’s between 10am-5pm. Period. Bathrooms upstairs are teeny/squeezy… could be issues for those needing more room. No hand towels- but plenty of towels, washcloths, blankets. No kitchen dish towels. Despite some things we didn’t ‘like’ - we made it all work- and especially loved the location.
