This cute small apartment fit all our needs. (2 adults) It is very clean, has nice linens, comfortable bed, hot shower, designated parking spot and some thoughtful extras. I will likely stay again (if available) as it is only 10 mins. away from family that we visit in Willington. Pizza place, breakfast &lunch restaurant, Dollar General and Dunkin very close.
