Chucks apartment is a very good option for short stays in the Providence area. The location is central, close to downtown, RISD, Brown etc. Good for families. Chuck is a very responsive, accommodating host. The only thing I'd point out is that the apartment isn't setup for elaborate meal prep (in terms of utensils/pots/dishes). But this was a total non-issue for us, given all of the options nearby to eat out.
