    A great home base in New Bedford!

    The apartment is, in a word, delightful! Very pretty, comfortable, with great appliances, it's also in a perfect location for walking to several good restaurants, museums, waterfront, National Park visitor center. Amenities include a nice working fireplace, good TVs, excellent wifi; everything is at least as good a advertised. The host, Phil, responds quickly, & is very helpful as much as you might need. We highly recommend this spacious apartment.

    Great Location

    Great location for trips to the Cape and trips to Boston. We stayed in the apartment for a week to watch Cape Cod baseball. Ten minutes to Wareham and maybe 30 to the shore. Lots of great restaurants within the block. Nice area to walk in the morning and look at the old architecture. For parking you only have to pay Monday-Friday between 9-5 and you can pay on the Passport Parking App. We were gone most of the day and then parked by a meter at night just next to the Whaling Museum. Probably spent $2 a day at most for parking

    In the heart of it

    This location is amazing. You are literally across the street from the whaling museum and surrounded by historical NewBedford. The apartments are decorated extremely tastefully and furnished well. We sneaked a look into the upstairs apartment and it has a spiral staircase going to a widows walk on the roof and the view is amazing but is a one bedroom. The owner is 10/10 for responsiveness and solving any issues we had or help we may have needed. The only suggestion I have for the owner is to add some door mirrors in the bedrooms. There is only one mirror in the bathroom with a spot light directly above your head, for women that wear makeup it was terrible getting ready for the wedding we were attending.

    Great to hear you enjoyed your stay. Yes great idea. We’ll look into adding some mirrors in the bedroom. Hope to see you again soon to try them out.
