Great little apartment right near several amazing restaurants. It' not TOO far from the beach, but if you don't have a car, be aware its a decent little trek. From some other reviews and looking at the map it looks like its only about 5 minutes, but that's actually to the sea wall. To get to the actual beach its another 15-20 minute walk north. Again, if you have a car or you ride-share its not too bad, but we'd planned on walking. As others have said, the upstairs rental can definitely be noisy, but that goes with the territory. Overall, perfect little apartment for our stay in RI and we'd stay here again!
