A cozy spot near both downtown Providence and the RISD/Brown University district. Privacy and home comforts abound. History everywhere, authenticity in the ceiling beams and hearth stones, practicality in all the details. Some accompanying dwelling noise and footsteps just outside the bedroom area, but generally a comfortable, safe vibe. We came during blustery March, before what are likely more beautiful times of the year in this tree-shaded neighborhood of 225-year-old homes.
