The Maple Room is located on the second floor of a 3-bedroom apartment used exclusively for Airbnb guests. Enjoy your own private half bathroom (toilet and sink). New Haven offers a vibrant mix of culture, dining, and activities—we hope you enjoy your stay! The space First, you are in a great area - the East Rock area - easy accessibility to downtown, Yale and other points of interest. It is also across from the Marsh Botanical Garden so it is quieter than other places that are downtown with lots of trees and greenery. Professionally managed by The Connection Rentals in New Haven, Connecticut - a time trusted local provider of furnished accommodations for over 10 years.    We work closely with medical professionals, corporate clients, and extended-stay guests to provide consistent, high-quality housing experiences throughout the area. This is an old building. To set your expectations for this particular old building, many things have to be made especially for this building as modern items do not always fit historic structures. You may find doors that do not fit precisely, or perhaps window screens that had to be hand made and do not fit as well as brand new screens do, and things along that nature. During your stay, these old properties often have new things that come up that need a repair. We simply ask that if that happens to you, that you let us know so that we can resolve it. As it is an old building, we also have it treated regularly for rodents and bugs, however, that does not mean that there is a magical barrier that absolutely prevents you from ever seeing a rodent or bug. Prior to reserving a room from us, you need to be realistic and comfortable with the above. If not, we do not recommend that you reserve this listing. Thank you. Note: Thank you for staying with us! It is helping us contribute towards replacing the siding of the building and other improvements that were difficult previously! We all love Yale, however, as they are a non-profit and own over half of the city, the deficit falls on the shoulders of private home owners .. making updates difficult so this truly helps and contributes to a better community! Thank you!!! Laundry Room: There IS a washer and dryer on the premises, however, it is in a dark and dank and old basement in the far back room! If you are brave, you are welcome to use it. It was cleaned prior to the start of the school year, however, no guarantees on the students keeping up on that cleanliness! Also note that you will have to bring your own soap. Guest access Shared Spaces & Community Standards Beyond your private room, you have full access to the kitchen, bathroom, and common areas. While these shared spaces are professionally deep-cleaned between guest stays, this is a shared community apartment. To keep the space comfortable for everyone, you are strictly responsible for cleaning up after yourself immediately after using the kitchen or common areas. Please do not leave dishes or messes behind for other guests. Other things to note Parking - there is free parking directly behind the property and free street parking. We just recommend to observe and follow any signs put up by city if they need the streets clear for street sweeping, snow plowing, etc. Snow: maintenance comes to plow within 24 hours after snow has stopped. They do not dig out your car however, so if you are staying at a time there is snow, we recommend perhaps parking your car in a paid garage where you will not have to remove snow and ice from your car. For guests that are staying longer: understand that guest prep prepares the room prior to your stay with toilet paper, clean linens, etc. However that is it. The price does not accommodate for hotel services to send people in every day to clean after you and others which is why it is of the utmost importance that you clean after yourself immediately. After the initial preparation, any further toiletries, washing of linens and cleanliness is your responsibility. This is both for your sake and the sake of others in the event you are in a shared apartment. Should we find that you are not being clean or should you request refills of initials toiletries of kleenex, soap, etc, you may be charged for it. Of note: for laundry, there are laundromats in the area that pick up, wash, dry & fold your laundry, typically for very reasonable prices. Feedback from guests say that it seems to average around 30.00. A good laundromat that does this is 5 Star Laundromat. Note- they only take cash, however, there are other laundromats as well. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We are always happy to help. Food - we have an oven, refrigerator, coffee pot and basic cooking utensils and dishes there should you wish to prepare food. If you use the common areas though, you must clean up after yourself immediately so that new guests checking in or guests already staying there do not have to deal with your mess. If we have to clean it your mess in the common area, an additional charge will accrue. Thank you for your understanding, this helps make it a much more pleasant stay for everyone. Also: We are in the process of doing work on the exterior of the property - small things like painting, new railings, etc...so if you see things that are in need of painting or in the middle of painting, etc... that's what's going on! Thank you! Mail/Package: If you wish to receive a package and to ensure the security of your mail and packages, we kindly request that you refrain from having deliveries or mail sent directly to our property address. Instead, we recommend setting up a P.O. Box for any mail or packages you may expect during your stay. Setting up a P.O. Box provides a secure and convenient alternative, helping to protect your deliveries and personal information. If you are staying during the winter, we recommend bringing warm clothing as the properties are old, do have heat, however, in the event that it is not warm to your expectations. Please be mindful that all guests are responsible for their own belongings. In the event that food or personal items go missing, we do not offer reimbursement. We recommend labeling your items and storing them securely when possible.
