Ricky’s was just what I needed!!! The 1869 home is so inviting, with a big wrap around porch where I enjoyed his good coffee every morning. The decor is comfy and eclectic with some antiques, interesting art, and a relaxed vibe. The Earth Room was beautiful with a lovely high ceiling and retro table and chairs that were perfect for working on a computer or eating meals in my room. The kitchen had everything I needed, including sharp knives which I find rare at AirBnBs. Ricky was so accommodating and generous. He had loads of great suggestions, loaned me a yoga mat and bike and helped me find a glass of wine on a Sunday night, when no liquor stores are open. He also prepared some great meals for me. The neighborhood is lively and diverse with a daily pass of the musical ice cream truck, but the rooms have AC and blackout curtains so you can block out noise and light. The bed was very comfy, even for my old battered back. The location was 10 minutes from Brown University and close to Roger Williams Park which provided a great place to wander or read a book under a tree. I recommend Jazz at the Courtland Club, yoga at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, a stroll through Swan Point Cemetery, and the Flea Market on Water Street for some local color.
