Marvin was able to accommodate us at the last minute; booked less than ~48 hours prior to check in. To take it a step further, they were able to quickly clean the apartment from the previous renter so that we could check in at 1:30 instead of 3pm when the normal check in time is. This was essential as we had an event to attend that started at 3. Check in was contactless and easy. The front door has a secure code entry so no need to worry about getting (or forgetting) a key. The space was clean, loaded with character, and decorated with love. Most importantly, it gave us the flexibility to travel with our dog who hates leaving our side. I’d stay at this location 100x times over any hotel room.
A note to those who are not accustomed to cities/high density areas. This is located on a busy street in Cranston and you will hear road noise throughout the day and evening. Be prepared to park on the street (easily accessible/open) and to close the door and windows at night to cut down on the noise from local traffic. I lived in Boston for over a decade, so this is commonplace for me but may be an annoyance to others.
