My stay here was good enough for what I needed, which was a place to hang out with my friends while getting ready for an event in New Haven. The living area is in a separate room away from the kitchen/dining area, just keep that in mind if you're planning to hang out with a group. The beds were very comfortable, as previous reviews have mentioned! Location couldn't be better -- right in the heart of East Rock, walking distance to a couple coffee shops and anywhere you wish to within Yale or downtown. Everything was mostly clean... I have cleaning standards that are higher than most, so take this with a grain of salt. The sponges in the kitchen sink looked old and there were smudges on the plastic drink cups (glass would nicer, if possible). The fridge smelled a tiny bit and looked like it wasn't thoroughly cleaned between visits. The bedrooms had a stark appearance, with almost no decorations. It would be nice to have more surfaces to place things on other than a single tiny bedside table. The host, Henry, was communicative through automated text messages that were quite long, but the extra info came in handy. If you are looking for a prime location spot, this place gets the job done. If you want a cozy home-like experience that is conducive to relaxing and hanging out, then you may want to keep looking.
