Our stay was amazing! The location was perfect. The cafe downstairs was a bonus! The space is open and inviting. The sleeping situation was comfortable. The roof deck was a great place to sit and take on the beautiful surroundings.

We loved the apartment! It was exactly as pictured! It was clean. It was a perfect Bristol location for us! My only note to travelers is it is on a busy street so the front bedrooms can hear the cars and foot traffic from the restaurant below!

We stayed here for graduation weekend and it was the perfect location. We were close to all of the restaurants, shops and Roger Williams University. In the mornings we were able to walk to the coffee shops then sit by the water to take in the scenic views. It was a great weekend!

Perfect location for a wedding across the street at Linden Place. The host was easy to work with and very responsive. The rooms are large with plenty of space to gather and a nice large deck out back, although the deck surrounding is a bit industrial with large fans from the cafe below. That same cafe has a great breakfast and coffee menu, so highly recommend. It can get quite noisy as the location is amid the hustle of the town and next to the Post Office so the sound of mail carriers rolling large mailcarts from the building to their vehicles out back is louder than anyone would expect early in the am. Plan to sleep in eye masks if light bothers you because the lights surrounding the area are bright all night and the plastic mini blinds provide privacy but don’t block the light. Top rating for location, ample space and cleanliness!

Home is exactly as pictured, beautiful little home with lots of space. Very convenient location, everything is walking distance. The only complaint I had was that the walls seemed to be paper thin and could hear everything going on outside from all the rooms.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while we were visiting Bristol for our son's wedding. Wonderful location (in the heart of everything), we could walk to everything. Plenty of space, great communication from Berta (you were so kind). We hope to be back to get to know Bristol more now that we discovered it....what a NE charm!
