The house is conveniently located within a few minutes drive from URI campus, which was exactly what we were looking for. We didn't know, however, that there would be other guests in the house. We would have probably opted for a different solution if we had, needing time and tranquility to revise our papers for a conference. Having said that, we were satisfied with our stay, since the guests we encountered were nice and friendly. You will have a private room and private bathroom, but the kitchen and the rest of the house are shared. The house is in a very quiet road in the middle of the woods. The train runs close by, but it does not really get annoying, except for a couple of times in which the railway workmen were fixing the tracks overnight. Em is a great host and makes you feel most welcome. She makes French toast or eggs every morning for the guests, and constantly leaves beautiful fresh food and drinks in the fridge for you to help yourself as you please. This is great. Everything is very clean, and the bed comfortable. There is even a printer at your disposal, which we found very useful, having to print our boarding cards for the plane as we checked out.
