Arnie was a great host and gave me advice on where to take my sons fishing. He has a wealth of Block Island knowledge! The outside shower was great. Would definitely stay again. ##### Fausto Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Fran B. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good place to stay. We were offered an early check in time but did not need it. You need to set up a time to arrive to meet Arnie. No remote check in. Air conditioning is not in the bedrooms. Keeping the windows open at night brought street noise in which made it hard to sleep. The bedrooms do have fans. You can walk to the airport for breakfast/ lunch but you need a car/ taxi to get everywhere else. I think the listing says that a car is not needed. You can hear the people upstairs moving around and apparently they could hear us talking since they came downstairs to ask us to quiet down. Mind you, we are women in our 40s who were just talking. We were there for 2 nights and it served our purpose of just sleeping there. It was nice that the rental does not require a week’s commitment. No late check out but Arnie said he could store our bags in his barn if we needed that. The kitchen is well equipped if you do want to cook. Outdoor shower was great! Plenty of towels to use at the house. ##### Fran B.

Apartment was as described in listing. We found space to be bigger than it appears in pictures which was a plus. Great location. It is on the corner of a road so you do hear traffic but it was not bothersome to us. Apartment was clean and well stocked with supplies, beds were comfortable.
