Communication with owner was great, location is unbeatable, only negative thing I have to say is the rooms & bathroom either need some updating or deep clean, one of the bedrooms headboard had noticeable mold on it as well as the shower, bathroom also had a musky smell to it.

We had a blast staying here. It was so much more fun than staying at the hotel down the road we usually do. We were in town to visit some family. we loved waking up and walking across the st to enjoy our coffee at the park. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

Walkable

This was our second trip to this place and it was every bit as enjoyable as our first visit. It is so convenient to all that downtown Bristol has to offer which allows us to walk to all the restaurants and shops. We are already planning our next stay to attend an exhibition at the nearby Newport Museum of Art.

Great little place

This was a great little place for us visiting our daughter at RWU. Conveniently located to downtown. It was clean and comfortable. It is on the third floor, which wasn’t a problem for us. It was very quiet. I also loved the price. We come down frequently so always looking for a nice affordable place to stay. Thanks for hosting us. We hope to stay here again.

Comfortable, delightful experience for a getaway/reunion weekend. Directions and instructions were perfect, apartment was exactly as promised. Loved the ample space and the coziness, so many windows and so much light. Enjoyed the kitchen space to prepare meals and treats. Owner was a delight. Easily walkable to cute downtown. Quiet at night.
