Walking Distance Activities
The Mansion is located near the downtown area so you have plenty of places you can walk to for transportation, dining and entertainment. There is an Amtrak train station as well as a Ferry to Block Island within a mile (or so) of the apartment. Here is a list of all the WALKING DISTANCE recommendations.

very close by (just up the hill) - full grocery with emphasis on organic and natural foods. Pricey-ish but convenient and everything you would need to cook or buy a meal. Excellent baked goods.
