Aref was a wonderful host. He sent us clear and easy-to-follow directions detailing everything we needed to know about about the apartment we were staying in: where to park - how to get in - when to check in and out. The apartment was spotless and the furniture, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom were all in excellent condition. If not new, than nearly new. But the very best part of our experience was how attentive Aref was. If we sent him an inquiry, he back to us right away with answers to any questions that we had. In addition to all this, because of a death in our family, we asked if we could change the date of our visit to Providence - we could have stayed the original date but we told him it would be easier if we could switch to a day earlier. Aref was warm and sympathetic upon hearing why we needed to make the switch. The place we had originally booked was not available but he had a different apartment that we could stay in and he took care of all the details immediately so we did not need to feel any concern about our change of plans. We highly recommend Aref as a host - someone who provides a sparkling clean place to stay and is attentive to the needs of those who stay in his apartments.
