We only came to sleep basically for one night before we moved up north. But we felt very comfortable and had a very pleasant stay! Freddy welcomed us friendly and everything was nice and clean!

Aesthetic Room 6 Min From Yale

GeraldineRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Daiana was incredibly helpful and accommodating with all my questions. The apartment is lovely, with a wonderfully powerful shower! The neighbourhood is very residential with no nearby shops or restaurants. But if you are going to an event at the Yale Bowl or nearby sports area (which I was), it is very convenient. And it is less than 10 minutes by car or Uber from downtown New Haven. Daiana's beautiful apartment and very friendly attitude made my stay memorable. Highly recommended!

Private room in Hamden

Comfy room for up to three guests

YJRating, 5 stars1 month ago

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This is the kind of place that makes Airbnb truly special. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves—but at the same time, it’s so perfect that a part of me wants to keep it a secret. Shelly redefines what it means to be a host—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and kind, even across different time zones. She made sure everything was ready for us with care and intention. My friends and I arrived to find a spotless, peaceful home that felt more like a retreat than a rental. There were small gestures throughout that made us feel welcomed and cared for—Shelly had anticipated what we might need before we even thought of it. Her warmth showed in every detail. All of us agreed: we’ll definitely stay here again next time we’re in New Haven. We’ll miss Shelly and the peaceful haven she’s created. It was truly a home away from home.❤️We'll miss you, Shelley!
