This was a perfect place to stay for my daughter's wedding at the Inn. Water view and walking distance to everything - coffee shops, pubs, shops, etc. I wish I could have stayed longer! Easy check in, roomy, clean apartment, and very responsive and helpful host - would definitely recommend!

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.

Perfect for a get away!

Bristol is a cute quiet little town with lots to see and enjoy, especially if you like the outdoors. The location and apartment were perfect. Private parking and walking to everything was ideal. Communication with Christy was great, too. We (just husband and I) booked last minute to attend funeral services in RI. She offered to allow us to check in early, and messaging was prompt each time. We would definitely stay again and could bring family as well, as the place is spacious and clean.

Perfect Place for Visiting Bristol

We rented this 2 (huge) bedroom apartment for its proximity to downtown Bristol, the harbor, walking distance to restaurants. It was perfect. Everything we needed. Off-street parking was a plus. It was hot when we stayed so the central air conditioning was sweet. Everything is updated - the bathroom is huge. Our host was accessible and there if we need anything. The apartment is in a historic house which made our stay memorable. Our favorite place to eat was Leo's, just a few minute walk. A quiet neighborhood - perfect for early morning walks. At least 3 coffee places to stop at while out walking too.

Great getaway weekend!

We were visiting Bristol for a wedding and needed a place for 4 adults and our 4-month-old. There was plenty of space for all adults and a pack-and-play. Christie was super responsive and made check-in & -out a breeze. The apartment was exactly as pictured and clean. We would definitely stay here again.
