Get ready for a lengthy review!

I'd like to start off by saying that the apartment was lovely. It looked just like pictures that Steven provided. It was a cute, reasonably sized space for a great price. The apartment had everything we needed and beyond. Everything was very clean and comfy (comfy bed) and Jo (Steven's wife) even provided us with snacks and beverages, and natural beauty products that her friend makes which included shower bombs, chapstick, soap, shaving cream (Amazing Grace Naturals). There's also a cute little space set up for you to enjoy your morning coffee outside of the house. By the way I LOVE all the flowers on the outside! Very charming! The space also included brochures, tv, games, etc. The neighborhood was calm, quiet, beautiful. Just 5-10 minutes to town (restaurants, cafes, cute little shops) , 2 minutes to the woods, and 10 minutes to the beach (walking). You have it all! Places such as the beach, woods, a couple of restaurants are walking/biking distances, but a car would be a advantage. Especially if you want to see all the attractions. There's also a bus, the 14, that you can take to get around.

My sister and I came to Rhode Island to get away from NYC and relax and Steven and Jo made sure that our trip was memorable. First off, Steven picked us up from the bus stop when we first arrived which was very nice and welcoming. They gave us brochures and answered all of our questions on activities and attractions. They were very helpful and warm hearted people. Jo showed us around town, made us muffins, got us really good donuts! Jo and Steven also let us use there bikes and KAYAKS! As a New Yorker, you really appreciate the space, nature and quiet. Steven even drove us to the lake. They went out of there way to make us feel welcome! They really went above and beyond and we really appreciated it! We only stayed 3 nights, and we only had one day of sunshine, so Jo and Steven offered to let us stay for one more night. Even though that was a very kind, genuine offer, we had to turn it down because my sister had work the next day :( ..We would have LOVED to stay and it was such a sweet offer!

Just a suggestion for anyone that is stressed, or is interested in yoga or the arts- go to the woods! There's a certain spot that has rocks and a small waterfall that is a beautiful and serene place to meditate, read, write, draw.

If you want to have an authentic, local experience, with very friendly people, surrounded by nature and beauty, close to town, the woods, and the beach at an affordable price- then this is the right place for you!

Thanks again guys!
