Over all I had a very nice stay with Pat's host for four days in Providence. I think I will rent it again next time I visit Providence.
I used to live in Providence for 6 years and I went back there for a reunion with my friend. From my personal experience I would say the place is in one of the best neighborhood in Providence. It's right in the up-hope community with a lot of good restaurants and very nice people. It's only 5 mins driving to Brown and 8 mins driving to PVD downtown.
Pat's place is very cozy, it gives you a home-like feeling. The room is well prepared as a nice hotel room. I often stayed in Wydham hotel near the river when I went back to Providence and I can say thay for a 1/2 price Pat's room is even nicer than the Wydham room.
Another plus one is Pat provides nice breakfasts in very clean kitchen that make your morning like home.
