Great spot right near downtown and train
Was in town with a friend for the weekend. Great base for exploring downtown on foot, and for out of town travelers like me who don't have a car. Decent kitchen setup, too, for those looking to cook at home. Debra was very responsive as a host. Great spot!
The apartment is in an older home that is being renovated. They kept the older look and feel, and furnished it with mostly vintage stuff. Everything was in good repair and good working order. It was perfect for us because instead of being on top of each other in a hotel room we each had our own bedroom and could have some private time. My son's bedroom even had a nook with a desk, which he loved. My mattress was good for me, memory foam I think. I didn't come to cook, but the kitchen had everything you'd need. Logged in to Hulu no problem on the TV in the living room for shows before bed. Super close to the main drag. The host went above and beyond to help with our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Delightful oasis
Charming home, with lots of original details lovingly restored. We were welcomed with a plate of fresh cookies. Owners are super responsive and eager to please. The neighborhood is quiet, tree-lined, and peaceful. Close to downtown Northampton, easy walk to Smith College.
The place was clean and uncluttered and stocked with coffee, tea, and cooking supplies. the bathroom was also well stocked with soaps, shampoo, and lotion. They really thought of everything.
We were very happy with our accommodations and would choose this home first for our next trip. Thank you!!!!

Great location and comfortable stay
Quite a find in pricey Northampton. Within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Small but very comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, but it was perfect for what we needed.
