Wonderful spot

The Cottage at Yale is spotlessly clean, well appointed and only a short and enjoyable walk from the Yale campus and the centre of New Haven. There is a pull out sofa bed for occasional guests (my daughter, a Yale student stayed a couple of nights and found it very comfortable). The kitchen is well appointed and we ate in a couple of nights and sat either inside or in the delightful outdoor space - plenty of room either way. The place is a delight.
