My husband grew up in Barrington and still has many friends in the area. Riverside was a perfect area for us to stay in and central to our needs. I think I was most happy that the bicycle trail is a half a block from Peter's place and he provided us with bicycles to borrow. We rode to Providence and to Bristol. The East Bay Bike Path is absolutely a gem and a wonderful resource to the community. The other amenity that I appreciated was that it was simply HOT outside and we were so grateful for have 2 air conditioners in the unit You should be aware that you have to walk across the front yard and to the back of the house to access the apt. but the area has very good lighting which was appreciated and the surface is quite even. The stairs are STEEP as Peter describes. The bed was very comfortable and we felt very safe in the community and neighborhood. Thank you for hosting us Peter.
