The suite was lovely, cozy, and comfortable, the communication, including clear and specific instructions on finding it, and answered questions with the host, were beyond reproach; we had a chance to speak with her when we crossed paths in the parking lot and had a delightful conversation. The kitchenette was stocked with all the necessities. The only confusion we had was whether the door lock instructions applied to both the entry door and our suite door or just our suite door (it’s both) and we hoped we weren’t waking other guests as we tested both doors to be sure they were secure. We will be back.

Right across from Smith, this very cute place housed myself and 2 college age kids. The kitchenette and amenities were perfect and the air mattress for 3rd guest was very comfortable. 15 miles nute’s walk into town and a safe, great area .

I really enjoyed staying at Xianxiu's place. It's super cute, it was very clean, and very easy to check in, etc. There is a short set of steps (maybe 10?) leading up to the apartment. The apartment had everything one would need - I even found a blow drier to use! I'm looking forward to staying here again - the location is terrific.

I was visiting my granddaughter at Smith during family weekend and the location was perfect, right across the street from Paradise Road, a few minutes walk from her apartment. It’s within easy walking distance of everything on campus and a fairly short walk to town. I didn’t rent a car for this trip and walked from the Northampton Amtrak station with no problem. This is the upstairs apartment and the stairs are steep but there’s a sturdy handrail. The apartment is very comfortable, light and airy during the day and cozy at night. It is unexpectedly dark around the Smith campus and along the driveway leading to the apartment entrance. I wished I’d tucked a small flashlight in my bag. Xianxiu was responsive and welcoming both before and during my stay. Excellent host. I’d happily stay here again.
