My husband and I enjoyed a great stay at Anya and Alexey’s house in Federal Hill. We stayed in the Capri room which was a little bit tight for two adults with (ahem, three suitcases because winter in RI = boots and coats), but it was super clean, airy, bright, and impeccably furnished, and we did not mind the smaller space. The whole house has a bit of a boutique hostel feel since they do rent out two additional rooms, but all the other guests we encountered were very quiet and polite and each room does have a lock and key for security. The bathroom was always surprisingly clean as well considering different folks using it. The whole house is just really well done, comes with all promised amenities, such as parking etc, which is critical when staying in RI.

Communication with hosts were great, and there were many thoughtful touches such as snacks, water, Nespresso, and Twinings tea (two of my favorite things). There were also smart labeling and prompts for guests to help find things and ensure the space stayed tidy, such as gentle reminders for dishes, wiping down counters, keeping shoes downstairs, etc. I think this really helped maintain overall cleanliness. We would love to stay at Anya’s and Alexey’s again.
