Connecticut is overall a very underrated state. Just because it is not as well known as New York does not mean that it is a bad state overall. The history, the beautiful views, the food, the architecture, the shopping, are just some of the many things that make Connecticut so unique. One town in Connecticut in particular is extremely popular when it comes to vacationing in Connecticut, that town is Greenwich. If you are a New Yorker who is just looking to get out of the state, Greenwich, Connecticut may be the place for you! Here are some of the best AirBnbs you can stay in if you decide to visit Greenwich.

This beautiful and spacious studio is within walking distance to the Cos Cob train station in Greenwich.
