Sara's place was very welcoming from the brightly painted exterior of the home and its flowers/plantings along the porch. split rail fence, and wooden gates. The house has lots of original (unpainted!) wood work, which makes it warm and inviting. The shared bathroom is very large and roomy. I took advantage of the clawfoot tub and drew a bath using the host's supplied bubble bath. It was restorative to stretch out and soak after a 5 hour drive. Bird feeders outside of bathroom windows with lots of bird activity. There is an eating nook off the kitchen that looks out onto the yard.
The bedroom had a ceiling fan and an electric space heater, both were needed during my two night stay as I arrived during uncommonly warm weather that then turned cold. Double bed was very comfortable, room contained a standing full length mirror, plenty of hangers, and lighting at night made it easy to navigate from bedroom to bathroom.
The house is in a residential area and within a ten minute drive of major stores: Barnes + Nobles, hair salons, food stores, and pharmacies., etc. I was in the area for a weekend to attend a black-tie wedding on Goat Island in Newport. (Note: recommend Astoria salon in Warwick for "up-do" hair style - ten minute drive from Airbnb.) The drive was 30 minutes to the wedding venue, and the most beautiful approach crossing the Narragansett Bay. The evening before there was an event at Kempenaar's Clambake Club in Middletown - a 35 minute drive. Sara's place was conveniently located to both.
Sara kindly accommodated a known arrival time that was outside of the advertised check-in, and graciously worked with me when I had a slight oversight in logistics. She was a warm and welcoming host.
Highly recommend this Airbnb.
