My husband and I had a wonderful time during our stay here. We enjoyed the goats, using the canoe and Marsha and Ed were fantastic hosts. The apartment is brand new, very clean, the walls are covered with cool vintage signs and some of Marsha's beautiful watercolor paintings and collages. As an art teacher it is always very important to me to be inspired by other people's work and Marsha's artwork certainly inspired me. If you are interested ask her to see her collages of her goats and her dogs. All very excellent and fascinating. I fell in love. Marsha really thought about what would be needed in the apartment. She had an umbrella and a yoga mat for use. I always forget my umbrella home and this one came in handy. Those are only two examples of what Marsha thought people would need while staying in this beautiful apartment. No one has ever left such thoughtful items for a pleasant stay when we've stayed at other apartments through Airbnb and other apartment sharing sites. She really thought about what she would need and want in this apartment as if she were staying here so that people wouldn't worry about forgetting or having to buy certain items. Marsha is such a sweetheart. Very thoughtful and caring. I can't wait to stay here again and to recommend this apartment to family and friends. I love the fact that it was away from busy towns or any loud and crazy nightlife. It was a short drive away from Stonington and Mystic, CT. Which were both really nice towns and easy to drive to. We also visited Westerly which was a nice beach town. Newport was about a 45 minute drive depending on how fast you drive. We walked a little bit on Cliff Walk and had dinner on The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn. We had dinner at Tallulah on Thames the night before. Both places offered really great dinners and drinks. I highly recommend checking out both places. There is also Tallulah Tacos at The Shack in Jamestown. It took half an hour to get our food because everything is made to order, but it was worth it. Go early if you want to try this place. Our visit was short but sweet and most importantly quiet and relaxing. We can't wait to stay at Marsha and Ed's apartment again. And yes we left the place very clean because that is how we would want our guests to leave our place if we were to ever share our home. Thank you, Marsha and Ed. We had a great time and I really love my watercolor card. I can't wait to frame it.
