Low-scent, historic downtown gem with sustainability practices throughout.

This newly completely renovated bright apartment with a private entrance provides a step back in time to the late 19th century. Antique sink, tub, cabinetry, and furnishings lend a special feel in the center of downtown on a quiet street. Sleep on a new, top of the line organic Avocado queen mattress in a large bedroom. Or settle into a cozy bedroom with an antique iron double bed.

The living room has a smart tv for you to connect to your streaming services, games, and a take it or leave it library.

Free early check-in when available.

Sustainability practices abound, beginning with a renovation focused on maximizing energy efficiency and reuse of materials, to the environmentally friendly cleaning products, washable cloths in lieu of paper towel, garbage cans that get washed instead of lined with plastic bags, etc.

Please note: steeper stairs up to the apartment and there is no dishwasher. Laundry facilities can be arranged with owner permission.

"Low scent" means that only unscented and natural cleaning and laundry products used. Guests are asked to not use perfumes or colognes or heavily scented products.

Great spot right near downtown and train

Was in town with a friend for the weekend. Great base for exploring downtown on foot, and for out of town travelers like me who don't have a car. Decent kitchen setup, too, for those looking to cook at home. Debra was very responsive as a host. Great spot!

Great location and comfortable stay

Quite a find in pricey Northampton. Within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Small but very comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, but it was perfect for what we needed.

Delightful oasis

Charming home, with lots of original details lovingly restored. We were welcomed with a plate of fresh cookies. Owners are super responsive and eager to please. The neighborhood is quiet, tree-lined, and peaceful. Close to downtown Northampton, easy walk to Smith College. The place was clean and uncluttered and stocked with coffee, tea, and cooking supplies. the bathroom was also well stocked with soaps, shampoo, and lotion. They really thought of everything. We were very happy with our accommodations and would choose this home first for our next trip. Thank you!!!!

Our stay was perfect

The apartment is in an older home that is being renovated. They kept the older look and feel, and furnished it with mostly vintage stuff. Everything was in good repair and good working order. It was perfect for us because instead of being on top of each other in a hotel room we each had our own bedroom and could have some private time. My son's bedroom even had a nook with a desk, which he loved. My mattress was good for me, memory foam I think. I didn't come to cook, but the kitchen had everything you'd need. Logged in to Hulu no problem on the TV in the living room for shows before bed. Super close to the main drag. The host went above and beyond to help with our stay. Would definitely stay there again.
