The photos don't do this property justice! Eight of us travelled to RI for a wedding and this was the perfect place. Just a couple of minutes walking distance from the venue, right above a cafe with delicious food & the most friendly staff. The apartment and deck were both much bigger than expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Eight of us adults all fit very comfortably. The host, Berta, was very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond anytime I reached out. We would absolutely return here.

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!

Perfect stay!

We were in town for a Newport wedding and this booking exceeded our expectations. The host, Berta, was gracious, accommodating, and responsive. The property was immaculate, had a huge deck, and was in a prime location near restaurants and parks. The beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. We would not hesitate to book here again. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Family Wedding Stay in RI

Apartment was accurately listed on website, it was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the outside furniture as well. The location to the harbor and local eateries were perfect. As for suggestions, the shower curtain in main bathroom is the only thing we suggest changing. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Great place for a summer stay in Bristol

Berta was a wonderful host - her place was great. Beds were comfortable, plenty of linens and towels for our group of 9. The deck is fantastic! Can’t beat the location. We had two families with kids ages 9-16 - lots of space to spread out. We look forward to returning!

Perfect spot for a family reunion!

We had an amazing weekend with friends and family! The apartment is spacious and clean with more than enough room for our group of 6 adults. The back deck is a huge bonus! The location is perfect - we rented bikes, rode along the bike path, walked to some adorable shops, restaurants and bars. Berta was wonderful to work with and our group definitely plans to stay again soon.

Bristol vacation

This is a great property right on the main drag in Bristol. Apartment is spacious and well appointed. It was easy to cook meals and there was plenty of space for hanging out. The deck is a nice addional space that we did not use much due to rain but it provides a great place to watch sunsets and hang out. Parking is convenient and there are restaurants, playgrounds, ice cream shops and more within walking distance if you don't want to drive. Bristol is a convenient location for going to Providence or Newport or the beach or ... Host is excellent and was very helpful when we left something behind. Highly recommend.

A Hidden Gem!

We rented this condo which is right across the street from Linden Place, where our daughter was married. The spacious interior and exterior allowed our extended family to enjoy a rehearsal dinner. The back deck is amazingly large and has a wonderful view of the water. The living area and bedrooms are quite spacious. It's a hidden gem!

Everything about Berta's apartment was perfect, from the location across the street from the wedding venue, to the accommodations, parking and view of the harbor. Berta was very responsive to email and texts. Thank you for your part in making our daughter's wedding day even more spectacular.

Great place to stay despite communication issue with host.

I am starting off this review by stating that this place is a true gem. A lovely apartment in a great location. There is nothing I would change about my time spent in the apartment. It was clean and functional. We came for a wedding that was located near by. 10/10 recommend the place itself. The reasoning for overall 3/5 star review is the poor communication I had with the host while checking in. Earlier in the morning on the day I was scheduled to check-in, I messaged the host asking for the check-in instructions. She responded by stating that it was keyless entry & I was to call her 20 minutes before arriving so she could tell me the weekly code. As instructed, I called 20 minutes before my first guest was arriving. The host answered, however, hurriedly said to call her back in 20 minutes when the guest arrived because she was driving and she did not give me the code. My guest then arrives so I call the host. The call goes to voicemail. After calling myself a few times, my husband and two of the guests continuously tried to contact the host while I was on the phone with VRBO customer service because I was concerned we were being scammed. We reached the point of VRBO customer service representative also being unable to reach the host & VRBO offered to put us in a hotel for the night free of charge. The hotel was about to be finalized when the host finally contacted me back, so that was the reason we did not end up staying at the hotel/being given any sort of refund. This entire ordeal lasted for almost an hour. The host called me back and explained that her phone died & her charger wouldn’t work. The host was very apologetic. I understand things happen and I truly respect that the door code switches weekly for security reasons, however, the host needs to implement a better check-in system so situations like this can be avoided. I truly hope future guests do not have this issue. It was a very stressful ordeal to handle while driving 5.5 hours to the destination.
