My wife and I and another couple had a great experience staying at Karen and Kurt's home. When coordinating arrival to their home, they were very quick in responding to emails and text messages. Once we told them that we were driving up from Newport, RI and what our interests were, Kurt sent a detailed email with a driving map, cafe recommendations, and other tips. This was really helpful.

When we arrived, Karen was able to greet us and show us the features of the apartment and answer and questions. A little later, her husband Kurt stopped by to introduce himself and answer our questions about the neighborhood and food options.

The apartment is very clean and very comfortable. The photos are overall accurate; interestingly, the apartment is more bright and airy than the photos depict. I actually think the apartment looks better in real life than in the photos. It is a very roomy place - we had 2 couples in each bedroom but there was a lot of room for additional guests on pull-out sofa beds and other areas. The kitchen was beautiful - and Kurt was kind enough to get us a fresh bag of local coffee beans to brew (we had told him that we are big coffee lovers).

Regarding orientation to the apartment, K&K left little notes on note cards which were very helpful (e.g. wifi password, where cleaning supplies were located, etc). Wifi signal was strong. They get the NY Times weekend subscription, which we also enjoyed.

The location was great. It's right by a few excellent restaurants and ice cream shop. We highly recommend the taco restaurant! Also, it's very close to Brown, which is great.

Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend the apartment for anyone!
