They let us use the outdoor area, playground for kids, and grill, super nice hosts. Remember you come to block island to be outdoors not indoors, if you keep the windows open upstairs the fresh air is great. Stairs were easy enough to block off if you have little kids. Just wedged our pack n play into the hallway and closed the kitchen door. So baby had run of 75% of apartment. Kitchen was not quite like home but I was able to make it work. Great location.
