Gem of a property!

We fell in love with Gerard's adorable place - beautifully appointed and comfortable. The master bedroom is quite large and the second bedroom is "cozy" but certainly sufficient. We enjoyed a great family visit, and the atmosphere of the property added to a wonderful weekend. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, eclectic place in the Westport area!

A gem - clean, cozy, unique, convenient, friendly

Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenagers) needed an affordable place to stay near Westport for 3 nights. This place was great. So much better than any other option we could find. Friendly, helpful host. Bathroom and second bedroom are "cozy" (small)...not an issue for us but it could be for some. Other rooms are a good sizes. Overall, we are really glad we found this place and we'll likely stay here again next time we are in town.

Second time around

Cheerful spot and close to what we need to get done in Westport and Southport/Fairfield. Parking lot can be tight during the day time. Right on the Post Rd, but this unit is in the back. A good value, but the bathroom is tiny and if you are tall you might not fit. Big kitchen/work area, little den, and nice bedrooms. A WeWork type of space downstairs that you can use if desired.

Perfect little hideaway spot, private apartment!

This quaint apartment is inside the Old Sacco Mill building. I remember this building having grown up in the area. Completely renovated and beautifully decorated inside. My family of 4 stayed here and it was just perfect. Gerard was available and very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property and you are the only guest in the apartment part of the building.

Westport trip

Perfect for my sister and daughter. Just right sized, sunny and cheerful, plus the we-work type of space downstairs was awesome. Across the street from our favorite bagel place, and near Grey Goose, our favorite local restaurant. In town to check on family, so this was a great place to stay. Gerard was extremely responsive, especially when we had a mishap with our keys- he dropped everything and helped out! Five stars!
