We found Aref's place to be clean and comfortable, and the location is amazing– close to bakeries and restaurants, and just a short drive into downtown Providence. Seven Stars Bakery is a short walk away (their almond croissants are amazing!), and we grabbed some pastries there to bring back for breakfast.
Initial check in communications were clear, and Aref was helpful but a bit slow to respond to follow up messages. We would receive a response several hours later. Somehow there were no kitchen knives, but thankfully Aref was able to provide some. The apartment is well designed with quality materials and great appliances, but there were a few broken things that made the apartment feel incomplete. One of the electrical outlets was missing an outlet cover, which could be unsafe for young kids. One of the bedroom overhead lights had several bulbs missing, and the ceiling fan in the bathroom was exposed with no cover. For those missing details, I feel have to dock a star.
