This small house was perfect for our weekend getaway to see a concert at The Kate in Old Saybrook, just 11 miles away. From the house, we also explored the town of Essex, Old Saybrook, Niantic and Olde Mistick Village. There were 3 of us, and we had plenty of room. The house is exactly as pictured, and we very much appreciated the text from Gino before our arrival, including lock box details and their raising the heat before we arrived. There was a great selection of coffee pods for the Keurig, plus tea bags, the small bags of Pepperidge Farm cookies was a nice touch too. While we really didn't use the kitchen during our short stay, it is equipped with everything one could need.
As is stated in the listing, the staircase that goes up to the bedrooms is very steep indeed. We had no issues with it. There were plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. Even though the house is directly across from the fire station, it was nice and quiet.
When I asked, Gino/Stacy provided us with great suggestions for dinner restaurants for before our concert. We ended up at Liv's Oyster Bar and Restaurant and it was wonderful. The food is yummy and the employees are very friendly. All in all, it was a great weekend getaway, and we thank Gino and Stacy for being so attentive.
