    This was our first trip to RI. The home was old but perfect for that setting. Great location in Bristol walking distance to bars, restaurants and the river. Our hosts were very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions. If my daughter decides to go the Law School here we will definitely be back.

    Communication with owner was great, location is unbeatable, only negative thing I have to say is the rooms & bathroom either need some updating or deep clean, one of the bedrooms headboard had noticeable mold on it as well as the shower, bathroom also had a musky smell to it.

    We had a blast staying here. It was so much more fun than staying at the hotel down the road we usually do. We were in town to visit some family. we loved waking up and walking across the st to enjoy our coffee at the park. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

    Comfortable, delightful experience for a getaway/reunion weekend. Directions and instructions were perfect, apartment was exactly as promised. Loved the ample space and the coziness, so many windows and so much light. Enjoyed the kitchen space to prepare meals and treats. Owner was a delight. Easily walkable to cute downtown. Quiet at night.

    The property was in a perfect spot. Close to downtown and the waterfront. Private off street parking. Christy and Dean were amazing, even helped with out bags. It is up a couple of flights of stairs, so maybe not mobility friendly. It was cozy and comfy, would definitely stay again.

    This apartment is very old but super clean very quiet, private, well heated (it’s cold outside), freshly painted, nicely furnished. It is a three story walk-up but we are ok with that…keeps us young.

    Location is perfect, on the harbor and a short walk to all that Bristol has to offer. The apartment is very comfortable and bright. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and convenient. Prospective guests should be aware that there is a climb to the third floor and with the property being a historic house, there is no dishwasher and only a small TV; however, none of that took away from our very enjoyable stay. The bathroom is spacious and the heating system was excellent. Highly recommended - we will be back!

    We truly enjoyed our stay at Christie’s apartment on Church Street. Christie was so easy to get in touch with. The accommodations were very comfortable and the apartment was spotless. Just as pictured in the details. The location was perfect. We had a wedding at Mount Hope Farm and it was just a few minutes down the road. Loved being so close to the water and having a view .i would love stay again if we were in the area.
