"This little house was in a great location. I was visiting relatives in Branford only a few miles away. Host Michael graciously allowed me to check in an hour early. The house was stocked with everything you would need for a week stay, including snacks and water. The shower was nice and hot. The kitchen allowed me to cook and entertain my relatives. The bed was comfortable. There was a cute fenced in backyard for my dog Oliver. Michael even handled an issue that came up with the house quickly. If you need to stay in the Branford/East Haven area, this is a fine choice. Thank you Michael!"
