"Room was excellent, comfortable, and clean. The property manager William was the kindest host you could ask for - personally gave us a rundown of the unit and provided us with everything we needed for a cozy hassle-free stay. Just a stone's throw and walk away from all the shops on bank-street, I highly recommend this stay if you're ever in the New London area! "
