10/10 Excellent
"This was the perfect home base for our Mystic vacation. It’s super close to everything, which made it easy for us to put our 2 year old down for mid-day naps. For being so close to downtown, the house offered a lot of privacy and a nature-y feel. The home was also very well equipped between the kitchen and the toys/games/books that our kids (5 and 2) loved. The host was very communicative and gave us a heads up before check-in of some of the quirks of the house."
