i had never been to rhode island so looking at other air bnb’s in the area, i noticed some reviews saying they didn’t feel safe at night or walking alone. when i found marie’s place i was happy to read that it was in a safe location! it’s within walking distance to downtown or you can drive and park in town if you want. there is also parking on the street in front of this house but beware that you have to move your car on weekdays from 8-10am according to the signage (although i did notice some people left their cars parked during this time and it seemed fine). i left early enough that this didn’t affect me, however. i was slightly worried about a shared bathroom space but never ran into any problems. beware the shower is TINY so you really have to squeeze in lol. overall, marie was very hospitable and we talked about traveling solo, which she said she has done a lot of. thanks!
