I had a good time staying solo here. It's very walkable, with things to do close by, and downtown just a short walk away. Close to Brown as well (on the other side of the river). I took public transportation to get everywhere, and that was pretty easy, with a 10-minute walk from the bus stop. The Urban Greens grocery store nearby was really nice, and West Side Wellness was an awesome place to get a massage (Stacy's recommendation). Providence was also more diverse than I thought! The only bummer was that it's a very old house and you can hear the neighbors coming and going. One night they were up until 4:00 AM and I woke up a lot from the noises. I'm used to old houses and creaky stairs; I don't think they were deliberately trying to make noise, but just the fact that they were moving around until that hour was disruptive. Other than that, the bed was comfortable, decor cute and clean. I did have to use the extra electric heater because it was Rhode Island in February!
