We loved staying at Ron's apartment. We found it so much more inviting than a hotel. This was our first Airbnb experience, and I think we will be disappointed with any other one we go to because this one had everything!! Ron had every amenity you could think of. There were snacks, fresh fruit, and every kitchen gadget you could possibly think of. The entire loft was decorated so nicely and has so many things to offer. It rained the first night we were in Providence and we didn't mind that we were stuck inside.
We had a little issue with parking (the lot is very tight if you have a car larger than a sedan), Ron responded right away to my text and it was fixed.
If you are looking for a place that you can just walk to downtown, this might not be for you. We didn't feel very comfortable walking in the neighborhood after dark (and it's about 1.5 miles to downtown). But it's a really quick drive and there was plenty of parking around Benefit street. We enjoyed walking from there to downtown. It definitely wouldn't stop us from staying at the apartment again. I don't think you can find a better value in Providence!
