Jamie was the perfect host and her home was everything we had hoped for, and then some: clean as a pin, sunny, with plenty of room and options for relaxing.
And what a fantastic neighborhood! We quickly established ourself as regulars at the local coffee shop/bakery, with primo coffee and one of the best almond croissants I've ever eaten. That, and so many other things are within walking distance of her home -- not just restaurants and cafes, but vintage shops, another shop with local artisan-knitted scarves and sweaters and so forth, a camera shop (?!?!), bar, deli, liquor store (I'd forgotten from my local college days that you can't buy beer at grocery stores in R.I.), and even a local branch library that, if you pick the right days, might just be holding a book sale.
Her place is also a short hop from the grand, stately homes on Blackstone Blvd., a giant Whole Foods, the Brown and RISD campuses, even downtown and beyond, if you like to walk and have the time to enjoy the sights.
Jaimie gave her neighbors a heads up, so they knew we were coming and when we came back after a day of sightseeing a few of them, who were out raking leaves and playing with their kids, made us feel totally welcome, too.
She deserves to be called a super SuperHost. By all means we would recommend her airbnb as your home away from home!
