This neighborhood is lovely, walkable, with places to eat and a park nearby. It is close to Providence, but if you want to stay in the area it is possible to use Thomas and Grace's bikes and kayak. They have made a simple space very welcoming. It worked well for us. We were there only to sleep, as we were traveling throughout RI. Although our hosts were not in town, Thomas communicated well and made sure that what we might need was in place.
